Gunfight Album, Frontier Land (Free MP3)

One of my favorite Brooklyn bands, Gunfight!, recently released an album called Frontier Land. If you've had the pleasure of seeing these guys live then you'll recognize most of the songs on the album. The recording does a pretty good job of capturing the essence of their live shows. Considering they're one of the absolute best live bands in Brooklyn that's a good thing. If you want to check them out in action they're playing Cameo on August 21st.

The last time we saw Gunfight! was at a loft party with Hank & Cupcakes at the infamous McKibbin Lofts. As always the whole place erupted during Gunfight's set. Literally every single person in the room was dancing and passing around bottles of booze and just going apeshit. I've been to lots of Gunfight! shows and this happens every time, even at square joints like Crash Mansion (check out the video below from a Ski Club show at Crash Mansion, at about 1:54 we get a crowd shot of everyone dancing). Again, you have to go see these guys play live.

In the meantime you can purchase the 12 track album from Amazon for $8.99. And if you're strapped for cash or just want a freebie we've got a free MP3 download of "Woof/Howl."

Gunfight, Live At Crash Mansion (Video)

Yesterday Gunfight played Littlefield for After The Jump Fest. They were awesome as always. Unfortunately it was pretty early when they played so the crowd wasn't jumping around like they normally do at Gunfight shows. On that note I wanted to share some video from the time they played the Brooklyn Ski Club curated show at Crash Mansion earlier this month. This band has quickly become one of my favorite NYC bands to see live, here's why:

"Woof/Howl" live @ Crash

Tonight: BSC Show w/ Young Lords, Hank & Cupcakes, Gunfight, and Cinema Cinema (No Cover, Open Bar)

A few weeks ago Jeremy form NY Underbelly asked me if I'd be down to curate one of his Friday night parties at Crash Mansion. I was a little hesitant because there wasn't much time and I was already having trouble getting bands for another show (which we eventually canceled). So I put the word out that I needed bands and to my surprise we managed to get a pretty excellent lineup together.

I've been a fan of Young Lords for awhile and have always wanted to have them play a BSC show. I was pretty happy when they agreed to play. Hank & Cupcakes played the BSC show at Market Hotel a few months ago and they were pretty awesome. I've been hearing about Gunfight live shows for the past few months from friends and I really dig the music they have online, I'm really excited to see them tonight. I've been going back and forth with Cinema Cinema for awhile now about having them play a BSC show but it never quite worked out until now. So yeah, that's the lineup: Young Lords, Hank & Cupcakes, Gunfight, and Cinema Cinema (not in that order), this is going to be fun! Also, our pal iLan is DJing so expect lots of rock n' roll you can dance to between bands.

From the NY Underbelly newsletter:

Here's that lineup again:
10:00 - Hank & Cupcakes
10:45 - Cinema Cinema

Brooklyn Ski Club Shows (The Drums, Young Lords, Sundelles, Gunfight, & More)

I just wanted to let you all know about the next couple of Brooklyn Ski Club shows. The first is at Crash Mansion this Friday. It's a NY Underbelly show that BSC curated. The lineup is pretty awesome, if I do say so myself - Young Lords, Hank & Cupcakes, Gunfight, and Cinema Cinema! Yeah, that's for reals yo. I'm going to probably get some killer DJ added to keep you dancing between bands.

The other show is the following Friday. My homeboys in Raccoon Fighter put the whole thing together and my other homeboys, Radio America, are playing too. I offered some advice along the way but didn't curate it. That said I am sponsoring it so while it's not a BSC show per se it kinda is. The lineup is again quite awesome - The Drums, Raccoon Fighter, The Sundelles, and Radio America. There is a catch though, it's the early show. So go straight from work, suck down some free Colt 45 from 7-8PM. Stick around for the bands and then go do your thing after, should be over by 10:30PM. It's the perfect way to start your night.

Tonight: So So Glos @ Crash Mansion

If you haven't given the So So Glos a listen yet then do yourself a favor and click here. They're fucking awesome! Imagine if the Clash was born thirty years later and came out now with all the influences of the 90's and 00's incorporated into their music. That's kinda what So So Glos sound like.

If you can't make it out tonight then I highly recommend checking them out at Castle In Hell tomorrow - that will be FUN!
