Open Bar With Vashti Bunyan

  • story THE FADER

Vashti Bunyan released “Train Song” in 1966, her tiny voice and calm guitar squirreling permanently inside the hearts and heads of many who missed her for the next 30 years as she stopped recording and performing. Many young folks are familiar with her because of her renaissance the past decade, playing with Animal Collective and [...]

Open Bar With Wildbirds & Peacedrums

  • story THE FADER

It wasn’t so long ago that the weather was mild and birds were chirping and we were able to prop open the door at Heathers Bar for every East Village resident to peep in and witness the goodness that is Open Bar.  During the last days of that warm window, Wildbirds & Peacedrums stopped [...]

Schnipper’s Slept On

  • story Matthew Schnipper

Each Tuesday, FADER editor Matthew Schnipper highlights an underappreciated recent release he thinks we need to know about. This week it’s Atlas Sound’s Logos LP. (Which Schnipper bought but left at home because he listens to it all the time like a total fanboy.) Download “Walkabout,” buy Logos and read Schnipper’s thoughts after the jump.

Open Bar With Kurt Vile (Pt. 2)

  • story THE FADER

This was FADER TV’s second time filming Kurt Vile (the first being Party in the Pines), and we’ve concluded that it is impossible to make this guy look anything short of badass.  He could do his taxes and we would watch it.  But instead, we had the good fortune of seeing him play some new tracks off of Childish [...]

Oak’s Happy Hour Special

  • story Alex Frank

When we spoke to Jeff Madalena and and Louis Terline of Oak for our 10th anniversary issue last year, opening a bar was still just a glimmer on the horizon. Blackout is now officially open, and in true Oak fashion, is bringing the best of the best tonight, with DJ sets from DFA and LCD [...]

In Matthew Chambers We See Ourselves, and Cats and Beer

  • story Peter Macia

Someone once asked each FADER editor to paint a self-portrait and, unsurprisingly, each one of the finished works looked like the same smeary pile of acrylic crap. Okay that never happened but if it did they would. Point being, it is not easy being a painter, so when someone is willing to paint a self-portrait [...]

64

  • story THE FADER

Having lived and worked in New York City just long enough that I barely even notice
anymore when a giant rat swaggers across the subway platform but totally
freak out when a certain goat cheese isn’t in stock at the farmer’s market, I
find myself less and less in tune with the rest of America with every passing
day. [...]

Interview with Big Freedia, NOLA Bounce Diva

  • story THE FADER

A few weeks ago, New Orleans bounce star party-starters Big Freedia and Sissy Nobby stormed NYC, playing about five shows in as many days to packed crowds. This was significant in a city that, just a few years ago, was barely open to the idea of Southern rap, much less a highly localized, booty-centric offshoot [...]

Ghetto Palms 74: Erup vs. Poirier! / Free King Coya Mix! / Exclusives!

  • story Eddie "Stats" Houghton

When it rains it cold monsoons around here. As it happens, two different exclusives I’ve been scheming on for several weeks—1) a sneak preview of Poirier’s version of “Click Mi Finger” from the forthcoming Truckback remix EP and 2) a full, free download of the unreleased ZZK vol. 7 mixtape from Buenos Aires braincase King [...]
