The Field Recordings

So i dont normally go nuts about bands that i dont know. However last night i saw The field recordings. They are from Southern Connecticut and although its not normally my style of music i totally dug it. They call them selves "noise pop", i just say "really fucking good". I also feel like being cool dudes and talking all night is a huge plus. there are alot of bands that stay to themselves when they are at a show. Check them out for yourself. http://www.thefieldrecordings.com/

Murdervan Returns!

It has been just about a year now, maybe even over a year since Murdervan has played their last show. Maybe they broke up? Maybe a little hiatus? I really don't know? What i do know is that on October 21st at Cafe 9 in New Haven Ct Murdervan returns! Check them out http://www.myspace.com/murdervan. Also playing that show is all girl punk rock band from Connecticut The Damn Broads, "New Havens best punk band" as voted my the New haven Advocate and it's readers B.N.S. ( the Black Noise Scam), and D.J. Live Mike. There is no cover posted on the cafe 9 Website yet, so this leads me to believe that it is FREE!!!!. As always the show is 21+, ans starts at 9pm

Last show at the old Rudy's

So The Black Noise Scam is playing the last ever show at one of my fav watering holes. If you dont know by now you ahve been in a cloud in New Haven, but Rudy's is closing and the last ever show is july 31st. Its pretty much going to be a huge party. Also playing is Nasty Disaster - new havens answer to spinal tap- and The Boardlords - skate punks from Port Chester

July 31, 2010

So Rudy's in New Haven is closing its doors at their Elm Street location after 76 years. Countless number of nights i have staggered out of there, raised a pint ( or even a pitcher), ate some amazing food, make great friends, and seen some awesome bands. Yes the place is moving ( 3 blocks west to Chapel & Howe st) and the owner said he will try and keep it the same, but there is nothing like the atmosphere of the "old Rudy's". With that on July 31st The Black Noise Scam, Nasty Disaster ( new havens answer to Spinal Tap) and NY Skate Punks The Boardlords are rumored to be closing the old joint forever. Should be an insane night. "Some people will cry" i was told. Look for me there.
