Cut Copy @ Pitchfork Music Festival 2011
NYC’s live music scene continues to bang on through the heat & humidity with an interesting mix of shows this week. We’ve got some well-known, genre-crossing singer-songwriters like Bon Iver and Bob Dylan…you may have heard of him. If you’re more into dreamy synth-based rock that harkens back to 80s, there’s Cut Copy at Prospect Park or Small Black’s more intimate (and FREE) gig at Mercury Lounge. For something a little jammy, Zach Deputy’s doing his loop pedal thing at Southpaw and we’ve got two nights of instrumental Zeppelin madness with Bustle in Your Hedgerow at Brooklyn Bowl. On the indie, proggy, experimental side, there’s Woods w/ Ducktails at the Bowery as well as the bigger indie rock darlings like Sonic Youth and Kurt Vile at the Williamsburg Waterfront. But the sleeper show of the week (technically, next week) is a band called Music for Money who’s kicking off four nights in NYC with a show at the Charleston in Brooklyn. If you dig the eclectic, experimental styles of Tortoise or Battles, you’ll want to check them out.

Austin City Limits is gearing up for a huge television season as well as one of their best music festival lineups ever. They recently announced that
Jimmy Cliff,
Spoon and
Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue would both separately be joining the ranks of the musical elite that have graced that stage, and
four more heavy hitters were just announced as well…
Austin City Limits has four scheduled tapings around the dates of the Austin City Limits Music Festival:
Monsters of Folk: Wednesday, October 6th
Sonic Youth: Thursday, October 7th
Band of Horses: Saturday, October 9th
The National: Monday, October 11th
These tapings will be held in the Austin City Limits studio (as usual), and any announcements regarding ticket availability and giveaways for the public will be posted on the ACL blog approximately one week before each taping. The sets will air as part of ACL’s 36th season on PBS, premiering this fall. Exact airdates are TBD – we’ll post details as we get them sorted out. We have a few more tapings in the works, so stay tuned for word on those as well…
Nice lineup there. I wonder who else they have planned.
Sonic Youth are heading out on tour soon to support the release of their new album, The Eternal
. Presale info for all of the dates will be updated here; they start this Thursday and Friday before the public on-sale dates coming up this Saturday. Go here for tickets.
