We’d like to thank all who attended this weekends event, Dreams Come True. We’d like to thanks the bands: Porches, Nelsonvillains, Battle Ave, and Year on a Mountain, for putting on an amazing show. And, we’d especially like to thank the ever-gracious Freecandy for welcoming us in with open arms for what will, hopefully, be the beginnings of a beautiful summer. Here are a few pictures from the event, as promised. Be sure to check out the next one. Dingus
Tonight, our beloved partnership with Meme Movement is about to pay up yet again for you show-goers. Only two weeks fresh from our last showcase, the next event will feature headlining heroes, Porches supported by one of my personal favorite line-ups; a line up that I’ve had the distinct pleasure of booking. Year on a Mountain, Viva Mayday, Battle Ave and Nelsonvillains will be striving for enlightenment from the time the doors open (at 830pm), assuring a night of powerful indie rock to help frame that dangerous ego. Join us, as we break in one of Brooklyn’s finest venues, Freecandy, and remember, it’s always free admission before 930pm, at our shows ($5 after). Make sure to invite your friends – don’t let live music die. Dingus

I thought I’d offer my loyal readers an early look at the next show flyer from the Meme Movement. Last show (Blue Blood), we had over 700 of the most beautiful people in the world show up to support their local DIY musicians. The love was unparalleled and felt so deeply that we couldn’t wait to book the next one. The entire team, here at Dingus, has a crush on you, and only you.

‘Puke Lust’ by Battle Ave. (April 29, 2011)
‘Puke Lust’, from rising New York band, Battle Ave., is only a slice of what we noted in our Best New Music section. In some ways, Battle Avenue’s vocal approach offers a completely new coat of paint on an otherwise fading genre of music, rock. In other ways, I could attribute the connection to the epic guitar hooks and overall force behind the music.

This past weekend some of our favorite bands, Bad Sound, Battle Ave. (who’s CD has been on repeat in my car for weeks) and Underground River played the finale show for local Binghamton venue, Pajama/Kazama. As usual, there was no problem beating the final boss and all bands came out victorious. Here are a few photos, shot by Bryan Caprari.

War Paint by Battle Ave. (April 29, 2011) *
When your first track is seven minutes long, you better not fail to deliver. So, does it? Do you think I’d be writing this if it didn’t? This entire album bleeds heavy, red blood from screaming guitars and tortured vocal melodies. War Paint never congeles and constantly presses itself forward. At moments you feel like it wants to stop, like it desperately needs a break, at least your brain does. But it presses forward, pushes on and rediscovers itself track by track. Package includes the loving despair we’ve all come to love from some of our favorite indie rock male leads.
