More Sunshowers.

Sunshower Orphans live at The Tank on July 24th (video taken by me):



If you haven't checked out the band's music yet, do it now. If you haven't downloaded the FREE digital single for "Lies in Sepia", get that taken care of.

Seriously, these guys are going places. This is some of the best music to come out of New York in a while, and that's saying quite a bit.

Spastic Fit of Rage

Okay, I've fucking had it with these guys:

Ruining perfectly good pop songs by switching around time signatures and song structures for the sake of doing so? Fine. Recording a damn near unlistenable record with one's aging granny? Okay, I can deal. But this, Fiery Furnaces? You've got to be fucking kidding me.

At first, I gave the Friedberger siblings the benefit of the doubt; perhaps they were talented songwriters who were just giving into the wrong urges. But no, kids; you're just the most unbearably pretentious duo ever to come out of Brooklyn. Congrats.

Honestly, John Cage would probably call you guys pompous cunts.
