Elizabeth Cawein http://www.thetripwire.com/?p=21871 Suckers, long before the release of their self-titled EP on I Am Sound Records earlier this month.

That even a brief exposure to their music enables you to grasp their fresh aesthetic has probably been their greatest advantage. read more »]]> http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/28/dont-take-yourself-too-seriously-an-interview-with-suckers/feed/ 0 http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/27/watch-macy-gray-cover-radioheads-creep/ http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/27/watch-macy-gray-cover-radioheads-creep/#comments Mon, 27 Apr 2009 21:50:07 +0000 Brianne Sullivan http://www.thetripwire.com/?p=21832 Radiohead covers -- lets face it, not many people can deliver a performance quite like Thom Yorke.

So don't expect to see MGMT rollin' around in Navigators and chinchilla coats yet. read more »]]> http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/24/mgmt-settles-with-french-government-and-are-in-the-studio-recording-new-album/feed/ 0 http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/08/david-byrne-to-play-free-show-kicking-off-the-celebrate-brooklyn-season/ http://www.thefader.com/2009/04/08/david-byrne-to-play-free-show-kicking-off-the-celebrate-brooklyn-season/#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2009 16:20:32 +0000 Brianne Sullivan http://www.thetripwire.com/?p=20729 Celebrate Brooklyn's Green Gala is a bit too costly for the chump change in our pockets, but really, who needs cocktails and a fancy dinner when David Byrne is playing for free? (Well, there's a $3 suggested donation, but we are willing to throw down some spare pocket change in exchange for some amazing music in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.)
