Clinic @ Music Hall of Williamsburg Ok so we are a bit delayed in our posting of this, and apologies all around. Clinic are a wonderfully talented group of artists, and they have been touring in support of most recent release Do it! The show in Brooklyn was complete with Hawaiian shirts and surgical masks, not to mention many of their hits, and naturally, the superbly haunting yet utterly attractive vocals of Ade Blackburn.The band is currently on tour here in the states, and we are tickled pink that they shall return to our neck of river at the end of the month (dates below)Tue 05/13/08 7th Street Entry Minneapolis MNFri 05/16/08 Neumos Seattle WASat 05/17/08 Richards On Richards Vancouver BCSun 05/18/08 Doug Fir Lounge Portland ORMon 05/19/08 The Independent San Francisco CATue 05/20/08 Troubadour LA/CAWed 05/21/08 Plush Tucson AZFri 05/23/08 Emos Austin TXSat 05/24/08 Spanish Moon Baton Rouge LASun 05/25/08 The Earl Atlanta GAMon 05/26/08 Cats Cradle Carrboro NCTue 05/27/08 Chameleon Club Lancaster PAWed 05/28/08 Black Cat Washington DCThu 05/29/08 Sonar Baltimore MDFri 05/30/08 Johnny Brendas Philadelphia PASat 05/31/08 Bowery Ballroom NYDomino RecordsClinic Myspace

Happy Record Store Day! Grab your mason jar of change and go out and support your local record shop, for tomorrow is Record Store Day! If you're in one of the five boroughs like we are, there are some pretty amazing options. Our favorites are Other Music, who will have a plethora of celebrity DJs, members of Deerhunter, Interpol and Tapes n' Tapes, to say the lease. Williamsburg's Soundfix, has Regina Spektor performing...for a complete list to find out what your local record store has going on, bounce on over to the official site. I'm shouting out my hometown record store, the Princeton Record Exchange, who saved my life in that university town. Happy shopping!

Constantines (Mercury Lounge 4.16.08) When asked the question, "how would you describe this band," most times the answer contains about 35 million words...indie rock with pop elements and punk influence with some folk thrown into it, blah blah, it can become a dizzy conversation. When it comes to Toronto's Constatines, the answer, in my opinion is, quite simpl...Romantic. You do, what you can you, with what you got...head vocalist Bry Webb sings in the most rugged of tones. This band does what they do, make music that is, seem effortless, and it was wonderful to finally be able to experience it live. Constantines' music can be described as the soundtrack, to life. Sure it sounds dramatic, but it's completely true. Maybe it's the first generation in me, coming from an immigrant family, but weather you're sitting in your backyard with a garden and chickens at your family house, (ahem), or standing on the subway between some rank smelling people, the music is perfect for any state of mind. Thank you Constantines.In case you missed them last night, the band will be back in NYC on Saturday, tour dates here.(Kensington Heights is out in Canada, April 29th in the US via Arts & Crafts)
