The Chicken Stand Throw Down Band Rocks (or should I say bluegrasses?) The Sidewalk Cafe, 11/11/05 in NYC - Photos

The Chicken Stand Throwdown Band - Throwin' down at the Sidewalk Cafe, NYC - Photos

What can I say about The Chicken Stand Throwdown Band? Oh yeah, I can say they are a damn fine little band. Mixing their eclectic musical arrangements, beautiful harmonies, and clever cover songs, The Chicken Stand throwdown band plays a set that both you and your parents can enjoy. The three singers all have amazing voices, harmonizing with perfection even mixing in a little beat box. Their opening cover of "Rye Whiskey" perfectly demonstrated both their vocal and musical skill. "Rye Whiskey" can only be topped by their ambitious cover of Outcast's "Hey Ya." The cover seamlessly merges the hip-hop classic with the blue grass, folksy sound of Chicken Stand. If you're in the New York City area, you should go watch them play. They're usually at inexpensive venues like The Sidewalk Cafe or The Baggot Inn.

The Whiskey Heart Attacks - Live at the Sidewalk Cafe, NYC - Photos

Three singers, one guitar, and a ton of character. What do these qualities add up to? If you guessed the quirky band, The Whiskey Heart Attacks you're dead on correct. This band performed on 11/11/05 at the Sidewalk Cafe and amazingly, with their limited musical accompaniment, had the crowd laughing with their mix of humor and strange harmonies. I didn't know what to expect when they first took the stage, but as soon as one their singers (standing on the right) who sounds similar to Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes, started crooning I was into to it. Check em out at a local pub near you.

Cool Danish Music Videos at Ducking.dk

Just thought I'd share this with you, it's an interesting music video and pretty good song (I love the beat) by Danish rap group Malk de Koijn . To watch the video click here and then click "Showreel" and finally on the video in the bottom left hand corner. It has a picture of a cartoon man wearing a red shirt w/ black tie. Then sit back and enjoy.

When you're finished with that video, take a look at the Carpark North video in the top left corner (kid flexing). Or you can find it on the Carpark North Website . Click on media and then on the video for "Human".

WARNING: Once you've been immersed in the world of Danish music you may never return

Disgusting Food Tortures Hungover Man

This picture almost made me vomit this morning.

I heard the buzz over my cliff hanger post where I mention a photo that almost made me vomit this morning, so I feel compelled to relieve you of the tension. I didn't remember taking this picture and so when I saw it this morning with a nauseous stomach I remembered the Taco Bell that I consumed late last night, almost leading to release. I have to say the meal was extremely satisfying when I was eating it. I had been craving me some Taco Bell for months (I think it was because of the ad barrage during the MLB playoffs) so it was a savored meal. Fast food, and Taco Bell in general, is pretty disgusting, but you can't argue with the taste of a hard shell Taco Supreme.

New and Improved Photos of The Go! Team

I was able to salvage a few photos of The Go! Team and here they are! Please try to ignore the red eye on the one photo. Scroll down to see more photos of The Go! Team if you haven't already.

Airborne Redux - Photos!

Salvaging a photo of Airborne

OK, so I've found the energy to talk about Airborne. They were cool, both the lead MC and the DJ would work together on the drum machine and turntables to produce some great beats. The problem however was that neither one was a vocal talent. Don't get me wrong, they have some skills, but they need a knock out MC to take them over the top. Still it was impresive to see these two artists produce the sound that they did.

Photo-Extravaganza!

Scroll down for photos of last night's Go! Team show at Webster Hall. This a new segment titled "I'm Bad At Photography." I hope to make this a monthly segment. If anyone has any good band suggestions I'm open to them. They just need to be playing in NYC.

More photos to come later today, including a photo that almost made me snarf vomit out my nose when I saw it this morning.

This photo here, this is a bad photo. As you scroll down the photos will get marginally better. I kind of posted these in reverse order so the weakest photos are the first you see. Enjoy.

I guess this is a good place to comment on the lead singer. She was good, had a ton of engery and basically had to carry the whole performance herself (more on this in my review later today or tomorrow). She's pretty nice on the eyes also. Too bad I don't really have any photographic evidence of this despite the fact I took about 65 pictures.

I wish I knew what her name is so I can caption it, but I haven't figured it out yet. I've listened to their album about 50 times in the last month and still know absolutely nothing about them.

I'd like to thank my wife, Jodi, for lending me her camera for the show. It's a good camera and takes nice photos but in the wrong hands, mine for instance, photos tend to blur. I blame this on the HUGE delay between the point where you click and the point were the camera finally takes the photo. I had some great shots ruined because of this. I also caught a fish the other day that was 45 inches long.
