Bands of the Week

Lady Ditto and I went this week to Cake Shop to check out this solo lite electro act from Canada with one of the best voices we have heard in a long time. http://www.myspace.com/diamondringsmusic


Friday Night, one of the first bands I ever saw in New York played again at Ottos Shrunken Head. A rare band leftover from the riot girl scene in the mid 90s, they still blow me away with their classic east village punk.

The most hyped about show we saw were The Suzan at the Tribeca Grand. I must say, they are fun for sure, but I'm not positive they are more worthy than any number of other bands for getting this sort of buzz.

Right after the Grand and their pricey drinks and swank digs, we headed over the the Queers, Beers and Rears party at Cakeshop to Catch Guts for Garters. Check out their really fun song "Hired Help". It recalls early B-52s. Many of their songs mention radios, Transistors and the like. Fun!
