Last year’s totallyblogtastic band, Vivian Girls are releasing their sophomore album on In The Red on September 8th, 2009. It is entitled Everything Goes Wrong. This is the latest in Wipers-inspired Tiger Trap-esque indierock. Reportedly, the band took “their time” and doubled their recording time compared to their last album. This translates to a whole six days. Listen to the results…

A little past the last minute, I went to the Mercury Lounge last night to see this show. I got there late. It was a weird vibe. What was up with the really tall dude in the suit? After listening to a couple talk about what it’s like living in Murray Hill, I just felt out of place.

Who: Real Estate
Comment: Missed ‘em. Damn.
Listen: Black Lake (mp3)

Who: Vampire Hands
Comment: Missed ‘em. I did buy some merch from them as they are kinda awesome.
Listen: Safe Word (mp3)

Who: Wavves
Comment: Mr. Nathan Williams seemed like an affable chap. His hair flops about when he plays. It results in an effect that is Fraggle-esque. Maybe it’s the new tshirts, but I walked away feeling his live act a Wipers-y feel. Is it me or without all those distorted vocals does Williams kinda sounds like Greg Sage?
Listen: Beach Demon (mp3)

Who: dd/mm/yyyy
Comment: I had to leave early. It’s was a frickin’ Monday night. I guess I am just not that rock ‘n roll. Sorry dudes, I catch you next time.
Listen: Infinity Skull Cube (mp3)
