The Antlers played their first hometown gig in what seemed like years last night at Manhattan venue (le) poisson rouge. The set was filled with all the songs you’d hope and pray they would play, delivering one gut-wrenching gem after another, and tearing the crowd to shreds. While they band has always been very impressive live, it seems as if they’re even further coming into their own — everything from Michael Lerner’s tight [READ ON]
Not even a perpetual torrent of rain could extinguish the good vibes at the inaugural Shaky Knees Music Festival in Atlanta over the weekend. The first day of the two-day festival (Saturday) saw crowds build to around 8,000 by the end of the long, messy day, and by Sunday afternoon, the festival sold out. The 28 bands that played the festival were greeted by over 14,000 keyed up fans all within the confines of the shiny (not anymore), new Historic Old Fourth Ward Park and the adjoining Masquerade [READ ON]
This weekend marks the inaugural run for Atlanta’s brand new Shaky Knees Festival, and I’m stoked to be there to experience it! The two day festival will be held in a newly completed park next to a prominent Atlanta music venue, The Masquerade. The schedule and lineup is a bit light compared to other festival heavy-hitters (Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, Hangout), but for a first year festival, the lineup is pretty amazing. The schedule is 12-11 Saturday, May 4, and 12-10 Sunday, May 5. Nearly every act scheduled [READ ON]
Whether a result of the growth in music’s DIY culture, a reaction to our declining attention span or simply a method to explore new sonic territory, EPs (and at times, 7″) have increasingly become the bread and butter of almost all new projects. A tightly packed unit of songs, EPs allow musicians the opportunity to present a cohesive, thematic tone — a method sometimes preferable to the sprawl of a full-length release. They can also act as a way to showcase a few songs with starkly different styles, acting as a sort of appetizer to an artist’s full talent.
Below, you’ll find our favorite picks for EPs released in 2012. Not surprisingly, the records below represent some of our favorite compositions of the entire year, full-length [READ ON]

It’s already Hanukkah and nearly time for Christmas, which means holiday parties and time off from school and work in the very near future. In some cities, I’d imagine that this could be a slower time of year for music. Not as many bands are on tour [READ ON]
There are some people who believe CMJ is like any other Friday night in NYC, but they’re simply wrong. CMJ is night after night of amazing music and free parties — so many that choosing just one feels wrong. We here at The Wild Honey Pie love CMJ so much (as witnessed by our 3 parties) that we just couldn’t help but compile a list of all our favorite [READ ON]
This week is going to be a doozie! Though the past few weeks have also been filled with memorable shows, it’s been a while since I’ve seen quite this many of my favorite bands in town all at once. Bon Iver (playing 4 nights at Radio City Music Hall), Wye Oak, Field Mouse, Oberhofer, Efterklang, Dr. Dog (with Kishi Bashi), Austra, The Echo Friendly, the [READ ON]
