NO AGE Make Noise at South Street Seaport TELEPATHE, ABE VIGODA Also Played

No Age left the riotous crowd begging for more at their free South Street Seaport show on Friday night, but were forced to cut the set short by the event's promoter. By the second half of the set, security had to give everything they had to contain the kids from breaking through the crowd barrier at the front of the stage. It was quite a sight to witness at a safe distance. Though the vocals were mixed a bit too low, the set built momentum as it carried along.


I thought Telepathe were kind of interesting, though they're warm-up set for No Age has created quite an onslaught of negative comments over at Brooklyn Vegan. These guys remind me of a mellower Letigre, minus Kathleen Hanna's growl.


Abe Vigoda kicked off the show. They sounded tight, but their music just isn't for me. They're kind of like this year's answer to Tokyo Police Club.

NO AGE Tonight at South Street Seaport, w/ ABE VIGODA and TELEPATHE

No Age are playing a free show tonight at Southstreet Seaport, with Abe Vigoda and Telepathe. When I saw No Age last year at the Bowery Ballroom/CMJ show they absolutely rocked. And with a recent surge in popularity, their show tonight should be a must-see. LA tropical punk band Abe Vigoda and Brooklyn's experimental synth-noise trio Telepathe are also well worth checking out so get there early! The show starts at 7:00.

SUICIDE - This Friday at South Street Seaport

The seminal NYC electro-punk duo SUICIDE are making a rare return to the stage this Friday. Martin Rev and Alan Vega are playing a FREE show at South Street Seaport with THE DEATHSET, as well as a DJ set with Richard Fearless of DEATH IN VEGAS. Suicide have influenced many, many bands out there today. But how will their live show hold up all these years later? For me it will be well worth it to find out.
