Exploding Penguin: Farewell Cheeky - This Weekend in Brooklyn

http://explodingpenguinbk.blogspot.com/2009/11/farewell-cheeky-this-weekend-in.html

Thursday, November 26, 2009. Farewell Cheeky - This Weekend in Brooklyn. You had a hell of a run. But as always, great bands usually break up with only a few releases out. They always have their reasons, and they're usually the right ones (or else they wouldn't be breaking up, right? Well now unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye to Cheeky. They've decided to wrap things up where they are and if that's the best thing for them, then so it is. That said, come say farewell to them this Saturday in...Frien...

Exploding Penguin: Chic Fellows and Drug Trenches

http://explodingpenguinbk.blogspot.com/2009/12/chic-fellows-and-drug-trenches.html

Tuesday, December 1, 2009. Chic Fellows and Drug Trenches. Awesome show alert. Every now and then you see the lineup for a show and you think to yourself "there's not a single band on this that I only kinda want to see, cuz I wanna see them as much as I want to see Taco Bell Day become a nationally recognized holiday". I'm not alone on that Taco Bell Day thing, right? And Go Sell Drugs. Bring some dollas to snag some shwag from them too (its tough times for touring bands! It's good as hell. If You Make It.

http://explodingpenguinbk.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Monday, February 16, 2009. Recommendations. Cause I Said So. Some EPs/demos I've been digging on lately and you should dig too. Thousandaires - Land Seal Demo. A mixup of members of Bridge and Tunnel, Halo Fauna and Get Bent. Usually listing this kinda information means shit, but not in this case. It pretty much sounds just like a melting pot of those bands, which is a great thing. Hope we see more music from this collective. From In You Make It. Air Raid Barcelona - 4 Song EP. From If You Make It. Well ...

http://explodingpenguinbk.blogspot.com/2009/05/leave-home-and-go-to-this.html

Sunday, May 10, 2009. Leave Home .and go to this. Who likes art, bands, booze and cheap good times? Yeah, just about anyone I guess. Well if that kinda stuff is your cup of tea, head over to Death By Audio in Williamsbur on Friday evening for Leave Home, an art installation by Kate Wadkins, Lauren Denitzio, Cristy Road and Tamara Waite-Santibanez. There's also booze, usually courtesy of the guy in the back room slingin' cans of Busch from a cooler. Hurray beer! A Collaborate Art Installation. Mike Saffer...

I'm in three myself. If you supply an actual number I'll buy you a copy of this. Speaking of which, only 30 remain of the 500 pressed, so get on it before you're shit out of luck. Feel ...

Thursday, January 22, 2009. Off With Their Fucking Heads. I guess what I'm trying to say is go buy Off With Their Heads records. And drink beer. Then listen to those Off With Their Heads records.
