Robbers On High Street “Electric Eye”>
Jon Pareles of the NY TIMES recently stated, “There’s a lot of the Beatles, especially their piano-pumping side, in the songs of Robbers on High Street, updated with Elvis Costello’s gruffness and a matter-of-fact desperation.” The Brooklyn outfit released the “ELECTRIC EYE” vinyl single this summer with b-side “Face The Fog” via Engine Room Recordings. The two tunes are pulled from a collection of songs comprising the band’s forthcoming third album, Hey There Golden Hair, possessing a new sound that harkens back to the brash, instantaneous pop appeal of their debut Tree City.
Fans of the Robbers’ previous single, “The Fatalist,” will recognize the calculated strut of “Electric Eye,” a song packed with enough soul claps to fill even the most discriminate dance floor; while “Face in the Fog” bounces playfully between a Gal Costa backing track and a soaring chorus dripping with vocal harmonies. Alana Harper of WNYC’s MUSIC HUB called “Electric Eye,” “an aggressively catchy tune that harks back to the big, beautiful, horn-filled pop-rock of the ’60s and ’70s.”

My Cousin, The Emperor “Nothing Left For Us To Find”
“Hailing from the green pastures and rolling hills of Brooklyn, NY, MY COUSIN, THE EMPEROR is a young band of country punks with a book full of ragged honkey-tonk anthems,” attests RELIX MAG. They released their debut album A Long Way From Home last year and won the WNYC “Battle OF The Boroughs” for BEST BAND IN BROOKLYN and the IMA for “Best Alt Country Song.”
“They say the Devil is in the details, but God is in there too,” notes John Schaefer from WNYC-Soundcheck. “It’s those little details that can make or break a song, and I hear those details in My Cousin, The Emperor’s songs.” My Old Kentucky Blog says, “A Long Way From Home is filled to the brim with both alone-in-the-pouring-rain ballads and throw-me-another-whiskey barroom romps.” Time Out New York says “My Cousin, the Emperor makes happily gnarly music; the band’s debut album, A Long Way from Home, trades in rolling country rock & roll.” and Brooklyn Rocks blog calls the music “Reverb-heavy melancholy that is very comparable to songs from artists like Chris Isaak and Roy Orbison.”
MC, TE are releasing a single disc, double EP “THE SUBWAY EPS” in Feb 2011.
Only Living Boy

Only Living Boy eats raw hearts for breakfast. Fueled by life’s stunning brokenness, the band offers an authentic and poignant experience through a distinct rock sound. The trio’s unrivaled style is a combination of 70s vinyl inherited from their parents and the alternative rock of their own MTV adolescence, rounded out with bits of jam, blues, reggae and punk. Thanks to their hometown’s suspension between Pennsylvanian woods and New York City concrete, Only Living Boy’s Northwest New Jersey roots help define its sound and attitude—organic with an edge.
Throughout two years of constant national touring (150-200 shows/year) the band has developed a ravenous, grass roots fan-base, which continues to grow with each and every show. They recently released of the double A Side Digital Single – “Worthless/Homesick”, possess the road chops of a band twice their age and the songwriting prowess that only comes from real experience.
Hey Battlefield

http://heybattlefield.bandcamp.com/
“Indie-approved alt-country with touches of Caribbean and doo-wop sounds blended with their generally rollicking approach. Sounding like a mix between Bob Dylan and Joe Strummer, albeit with more irony, singer/guitarist Jason Rossi was perfunctory with a detached charm.” – BROOKLYN VEGAN
“Hey Battlefield is an example of great music made outside the grips of major-league record labels. Three masterful practitioners of various instruments and multiple genres, creating a seemingly endless stream of perfectly orchestrated original songs, and motivated by a mutual love of making and sharing music.” – V MAGAZINE
” The lyrics materialize by his low and authentic voice, complemented by a subtle use of harmonica.” – INTERVIEW MAGAZINE

Set Times!
11:30pm – Only Living Boy
10:30pm – My Cousin, The Emperor
9:30pm – Robbers On High Street
8:30pm – Hey Battlefield
For New Years Eve in New York City, you always have a ton of options. If you want to avoid paying over $100 a head for a limited open bar and finger foods, you should consider going to a concert. If you’re not a Phish phan (sorry, had to do it), you should head over to the Bowery Electric (tix) to see New York City garage rock veterans the Fleshtones headline a special New Year’s Eve rock show. In addition, you’ll get to catch The Waldos (ft. Walter Lure of Johnny Thunder’s Heartbreakers), The Todd Youth All-Stars, The Threads, and The Dead Tricks. This show’s indie, it’s punk and a little rockabilly (there will be a SURPRISE SPECIAL GUEST!).
