Sunday Night Wrap Up

Saw this little guy on First Street in Hoboken this morning:


Some interestng things I found this weekend:

Tsar returns! As reported on I Will Have The Penne All'arrabbiata and elsewhere, L.A.'s masters of perfect pop rock tunes have signed a deal with TVT Records, and will be playing a handful of shows in NYC:

TUESDAY, MARCH 22
SNITCH
59 W. 21ST ST.
NEW YORK, NY

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23
PIANO'S
158 LUDLOW
8 PM

THURSDAY, MARCH 24
THE DELANCEY
168 DELANCEY
NEW YORK, NY
10 PM

Like most bands signed to Hollywood Records, Tsar was totally hosed after creating an amazing debut record. Lets hope TVT does right by these guys this time.

I'm totally smitten with Ireland's The Chalets. I was a big Bis fan, and they remind me a lot of them, except they have double the "cute girl in the band" factor.


Download an MP3 of their "Love Punch" at Drowned In Sound here.

ChartAttack says the new Dandy Warhols album is slated for Spring release. Sweet.

The always excellent Lost Bands Of The New Wave Era has an MP3 up this week of "Just The Other Day", from the (until recently) out of print Blue Angel album. If you were born after 1965, you are asking, "Who's Blue Angel?"...to which I'll answer, "a hot live band who played a lot around the NY/NJ/CT circuit around 1980, featuring a killer singer named Cyndi Lauper". They were great, and this track is a nice choice as an example of what they were about.

New MetroStars signing Youri Djorkaeff has some kind of hamstring injury that's gonna keep him out 4 to 6 weeks, according to MetroFanatic.com. Here we go again...
