Walter Meego, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sonic Youth, & the Modular Monthly | News and Other Half-Truths

Walter Meego is what happens when you grow up listening to Daft Punk but your parents are paying for guitar lessons, not turntables. You know that's totally up my alley.

They absolutely killed it on Friday night at Pianos. I think they won over a few fans as well...Acid basslines and killer hooks, from really nice guys. If only the show were at 1 AM instead of 9:30 PM...


NYC needs to see these guys more often. Hopefully, we'll make that happen in October.

Saturday was probably the nicest weather that NYC has seen in 2 years. We trekked out to McCarran Pool with 4 liters of John Daniels and Coke. We rolled into the Yeah Yeah Yeahs/Sonic Youth show and only got 1 confiscated. Plus, the powers that be fixed the beer situation. We got lit. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs rocked as the sun set, drawing heavily from their first EP and their first LP. I haven't heard them play Rich in like 2 years. Awesome. Sonic Youth killed as well, I've never seen them before. I hope to catch them again in the near future.

After dinner at Mamoun's on St. Mark's, we rolled over to the Modular NYC monthly party. Super Meego opened up, Holy Hail played live, and Dave P and JDH rocked the party until 4:30. Fantastic music all night long. Next month (Sept 19th) Modular brings the neo-rave Klaxon's over for their 1st NYC appearance! Expect lots of whistles and sirens.
