The Annuals Playing SoundFix & Union Pool On Thursday

The Annuals are playing two shows in Brooklyn on Thursday. The first is a free show at Soundfix which starts around 6PM. Then they head towards the Lorimer stop and play a set at Union Pool with Hymms. This show starts at 8PM and costs $13, which seems kinda steep considering you can see them for free the same day.

Black Lips Played SoundFix Last Night

Last night I went to SoundFix to catch the Black Lips. No one seemed to be sure if they would actually play or if they were just going to fuck around. Turns out they did both, which is what they always do I guess. They played about 6 or 7 songs, all semi-acoustically. There was other shit going on but it was damn near impossible to see the stage.

Towards the end a marching band entered the room and joined them on stage. They played two songs and then headed outside. From there the crowd marched down the street throwing confetti and blowing on noise makers all while the marching band played. The procession ended at the Williamsburg Music Hall, where they had another show to play. It was very, very awesome in my opinion. The actual show at SoundFix was decent (some people thought it sucked and left) but the march was a shit load of fun I tells ya!

Mountain Goats Played @ Soundfix Last Night

Originally uploaded by gimmeagiraffe.

Last night John Darnielle, of the Mountain Goats, played a free show at Soundfix in Williamsburg. This was the first show at Soundfix since they renovated the joint. I got to the show around 9:30 and when I turned the corner there was a huge crowd outside. The windows were down and you could hear pretty well from the street, where most of the crowd was.

I didn't actually make it inside and I'm kind of happy about that. From what I hear the place was a fucking sauna. Outside it was nice and cool and the sound coming out of the back window was pretty good. At some point a damn ice cream truck parked at the corner and had the ice cream music blasting. This was funny because five minutes before I was joking about that happening. Eventually somebody told the guy to turn the fucking music off.

The cops did a few drive-bys but never hassled anyone, which was a surprise considering the crowd was literally standing in the street. The show was awesome despite several screw-ups during songs. At one point John stopped mid song and yelled "Fuck, I fucking fucked up the 3rd verse... Badly!" And then went right back into the song. Honestly shit like that actually adds to the charm of a small show like this.

Like I said I didn't make it inside but I found some shots on Flickr that should suffice.
