MP3: The B52s - Hot Corner

ATJ, the NYC blogger collective, is set to help present the final show at the legendary, 3 level, Knitting Factory space in Tribeca. This last hurrah just happens to also be New Year’s Eve. After the Knitting Factory space was put on the market and sold into condos, the decision was made to move the cutting edge concert space to the smaller scaled Luna Lounge in Williamsburg. The New York Times interviewed owner Jared Hoffman last month about the plans. The final multi level party is sure to be a fabulous event, the kind only fitting for a spot that many NYers (and not so NYers) hold in their hearts & where many amazing acts got their start. Stay tuned for details!

Watch the band tackle ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’ with Emilie Simon in the clip below.

After The Jump’s New Year’s Eve show had so many great moments - Poingly in silver spandex making everybody crazy, watching people’s jaws drop in amazement as Pattern Is Movement began playing, David Longstretch (of Dirty Projectors) missing midnight but recovering so adorably a minute later, Eric from Foreign Islands kicking off karaoke with The Darkness single, ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love,’ - but for me, the best part of the night was when beautiful, little Sophie from Care Bears On Fire joined Senryu on stage to sing my favourite songs of theirs, ‘Leave The Light On.’ I think I might have even liked it better than the original, and I like that a whole hell of a lot.

Senryu’s live show is interactive and messy yet flawlessly calculated. It draws you in and spits you out with undulating waves of dance pop and slower indie melodies. It makes you fall in love and fall into step with nonconforming uses of recorded sound and off mic screaming that gets your blood pumping, as you find yourself uncontrollably screaming “I AM A BATTERING RAM!”. Lead singer Wil Wright once described their live show as a “magical car accident.” At the end of their set on Monday night, I found myself sweaty, covered in glitter and glowing with joy. I don’t think he was far off.

If you didn’t make it to Knitting Factory on NYE to see Senryu, you’re shit out of luck New York, at least for a while. Next up for the Tennessee lads is a show at Knoxville’s Pilot Light on Monday and then onto SXSW (with perhaps some more dates sprinkled in between).

For a better description of what makes Senryu tick, check out this rather fantastic article about the band’s return to Knoxville in The Daily Times.
