The Lucksmiths at the Knitting Factory

For those out there clamoring to know how the The Lucksmiths show went last week at the Knitting Factory, head on over to The Black T-Shirt to read up on it (with pictures! ok, well, a picture).

I also have to give a quick shout out to The Knitting Factory, which has definitely become one of my favorite venues in New York: Small but not cramped, reasonable drink prices, and a balcony near the stage that is open to all but that no one ever seems to use. Brandon and I were ten feet from the stage last week and we were practically by ourselves up there. I saw Jonathan Richman there about 6 months ago and my feelings about the venue were extremely positive then as well.

Do You Like Pop Music?

If you do, there's only one place to be this friday: The Lucksmiths show at The Knitting Factory!

As a longtime fan and major proponent of the perfectly executed jangle-pop of Australia's The Lucksmiths, I feel the need to at least try to get some people out for this show on Friday. So, here's my brief pitch: If you like mellow autumn-appropriate songs, excellent lyrics, and just the right level of twee-ness (way less than, say, Voxtrot or even Belle & Sebastian), this is the show for you. Plus, the show only costs $12. What are you, cheaper than me? (not actually possible)

In addition, considering the band's small-but-rabid fanbase throughout America and the quaintness of the Knitting Factory, I can guarantee that there will be incredible energy there and the show will create sensations of something I like to call "pleasure." If you find this not to be true, seek me out after the show, and I will personally give you a one dollar refund. That's right-free money! I don't know how you can pass this up...
