Prepare Yourselves
As loyal readers already know, next weekend will see the Brooklyn debut of the Neon Lights Presents... concert series. We're taking over Union Hall for a two night Friday and Saturday stand, and bringing in acts from all over the place to assure memorability. As is my custom, I will provide an in-depth look at each and every band on either bill next week. Links, reviews, mp3's, you name it. As we've got eight bands to discuss (in addition to our regularly scheduled posts and features) it's going to be a busy week.
For now, those of you who trust me explicitly can just buy tickets through Ticket Web already;
- Friday, July 6th - HERE
- Saturday, July 7th - HERE
You skeptical bastards who need to be reminded of our stellar track record are invited to go over to the website for Public Radio International's Fair Game program to listen to (and download) a 4 song session from distinguished NL alumnus, A Sunny Day in Glasgow. The session benefits from a cleanly recorded studio set-up that gives the band a sparser, crisper sound without completely losing the fuzz that we hold so dear. Particularly benefitting from the pare down is Scribble Mural Comic Journal's, "A Mundane Phone Call to Jack Parsons." Ben Daniels dueting, and occasionally talking under, a lone present sister is brighter and clearer than previous renditions. With the sonic clatter swept up a bit, it's much easier to focus on the lyrics, which are actually quite amusing, as it turns out.

Matt Fluxblog recently pointed out that the session's version of the song "Hugs and Kisses" (from the band's July Tout New Age EP) is also quite nice. To hear its recorded counterpart, with piano assistance from the kids' mother, go here.
