    The two members of garage duo King Khan & BBQ Show were arrested—according to rumors, because of possession of drug paraphernalia. (Click here for TONY’s 2006 interview with the band.) [Consequence of Sound]

    Hundreds of sneakers that belonged to the late DJ A.M. will be auctioned off on eBay. Proceeds will benefit organizations that deal with substance abuse and recovery. [MTV]

    Catch Animal Collective’s trippy new video for “In the Flowers” here, and watch Monsters of Folks play in the rural outdoors on the video for “Say Please” here. [Pitchfork]

    Liam and the rest of Oasis are forming a new band—sans Noel. [Billboard]

    This week’s top five new releases

    Posted in The Volume by Colin St. John on November 3rd, 2009 at 6:39 pm

    phrazes_cover_small1. Julian Casablancas Phrazes for the Young The Strokes frontman unexpectedly issues one of the best records of the year. Read our review here and listen here.

    2. Say Anything Say Anything The uncommonly innovative emo-punk outfit gets boldly optimistic. Read our recent feature on the group here and listen here.

    3. The King Khan & BBQ Show Invisible Girl The raw energy of a Khan show gets captured on disc yet again.

    4. Cold Cave Love Comes Close A wider release comes for a synth-heavy buzz band. Listen here.

    5. Weezer Raditude Will Weezer start to measure up to its first years anytime soon? If the Rainn Wilson–penned title of this record is any indication, no. But, hey, we’ll take a listen.

    For more releases, see Largehearted Boy.

    Halloween weekend’s must-see shows

    Posted in The Volume by Colin St. John on October 30th, 2009 at 8:00 am
    The King Khan & BBQ Show

    The King Khan & BBQ Show

    Friday

    1. The Wingdale Community Singers at Issue Project Room

    Everyone in the band writes and sings in this real community quartet. Read our show preview on the Americana-plus troupe here.

    2. It Came from Brooklyn with Yeasayer at the Guggenheim Museum

    One of the best bands in the biz gets experimental in the right place: the Guggenheim. Read more about the museum’s new music series here.

    3. Future of the Left at Music Hall of Williamsburg

    The Welsh band that was founded after Mclusky dissolved makes some noise.

    Saturday

    1. Mount Eerie at Market Hotel

    Planning an offbeat Halloween? Try Phil Elverum’s sometimes haunting sounds on for size. Read our review of his most recent record here. (Mount Eerie also plays Sunday at (Le) Poisson Rouge.)

    2. The King Khan & BBQ Show at the Bell House

    If partying tonight is more your speed, then this is the place to be, as King Khan always makes it wild and weird. The band also plays Friday at Bowery Ballroom.

    3. Deer Tick at Brooklyn Bowl

    And for the costume wearers, a costume performance: The Americana band takes on British punks with Nevermind the Sex Pistols, Here’s the Deer Ticks.

    Sunday

    1. The Ghost of a Saber Toothed Tiger + Doveman + Julianna Barwick at Mercury Lounge

    Sean Lennon’s new project with his model girlfriend headlines a stacked bill.

    2. Fang Records Night at Barbès

    The two-decades-old NYC label Fang, a haven for a variety of eccentric songsmiths, shows off its roster in Park Slope.

    3. Dysrhythmia + STATS at Union Pool

    Dysrhythmia plays heavy prog with support from the math-rock of STATS (and Music staffer Hank Shteamer’s drumming.)

    A new Ghostface mixtape is out on Imeem. It includes some snippets of the rapper’s upcoming Wizard of Poetry, plus other bits from hits including Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable.” [Rolling Stone]
