Upcoming Shows This Week: The Changes, Team Facelift

The Changes (from Chicago) are a great bunch of boys whose music I made the acquaintance of thru my friend Nora. They have a quirky yet soothing music style that draws you into their live show. They are playing tomorrow night 3/20 @ Pianos 10PM and stay for the next band at 11, The Colour-the singer thinks he's Jim Morrison incarnate and its pretty funny to watch.

Then on Friday 3/23 Team Facelift will be playing (i think) @ Club 205 Chrystie Street @ Stanton at 10:30

I blogged about them last yr, look here for more info

BMI Showcase and Team Facelift

Graham (drums), James (bass), Corey (vox, keys), and Luke (guitar)
So on Wednesday night, I headed down to Arlene's Grocery to catch this great band I stumbed on called Stab the Matador. They come from Mount Kisco, NY and are all taking a year off of college to pursuit the band thing. They have another show on Feb 15 @ Lit Lounge. They are this indie, dancey rock outfit with killer hooks and melodies that stay in your head for days. I can only post the two songs below for dowload but go to their myspace page and listen to the newer demos (which are apparently going to be ready in the next few months).

So after I gushed over this band, and the BMI drink tickets ran out, I hauled ass over to Stereo for the Team Facelift secret show. IT was awesome, hype men galore, keg in the seated area... It was just like college, sort of.
