We just caught wind of the fact that the Boston-based band Alloy Orchestra will be returning to Ithaca for two performances at the Cornell Cinema on Nov. 7 and 8. Some of you may want to check this out — the Alloy Orchestra features none other than post-punk icon Roger Miller of Mission of Burma! […]

We recently interviewed Candy Pants frontman Nate […]

While I’m in a list-y mood, here’s a more complete look at upcoming fall concerts in Ithaca. Of course, as the event for individual shows draws nearer, I’ll post more info, but this list is a nice comprehensive look at what I think are the best live shows in town. It’s by no means everything […]

I’m back from California and, of course, there’s no shortage of events happening here in Ithaca. For tonight, there are three things of note that I should mention:
1. Bob Proehl is beginning his weekly DJ night at Pixel Lounge. He’s calling it AutoMatic Buffalo, and he’ll be playing a mix of “dancy-dancy-dance music ranging from […]

A brief announcement from the sunny beaches of San Diego:

I’ll be back Thursday with all kinds of exciting news: NY State Fair (Heart! The Jonas Brothers!), Candypants/The Settlers joint release show, Johnny Dowd at Felicias and more. In the meantime, […]

Text by Luke Z. Fenchel, from the Ithaca Journal:
Music promoters Natasha Pickowicz and Aaron Tate of Ithaca Experimental have provided an exciting education over the past year by bringing the most current sounds in avant-noise to Ithaca. Sponsoring shows — primarily at No Radio Records — that feature artists working at the vanguard of the […]

Tonight is our big Jenny Graf Bibulah / Zaimph / Stone Baby concert at the Lost Dog Lounge. Ted Hamilton wrote a fantastic article about Jenny and Marcia in this week’s Ithaca Times. It is a truly interesting read — he even got a quote from Tom Carter!!! — and I know that I learned […]

Our dear friend Jackson (of Burnt Hills and Flipped Out Records) has a very nice mention in this month’s Bull Tongue, Thurston Moore and Byron Coley’s column about experimental music that appears in Arthur Magazine. They say:
“Another unexpected dollop of god-song is the Losing New Friends Every Day LP by Gay Tastee and Ziamaluch on […]

We are absolutely thrilled to see that the folks over at Ithaca Underground have revived, so to speak, their cause. They posted a spate of shows over in their Myspace blog, including a nice little shout out to us at the end (Popcore Youth? I like that…). We can’t wait to work with IU the […]
