Hardly a case of the Mondays, Baeble Music is proud to get the week started off on high note with the premiere of three new concerts.
For their biggest NYC show to date,
Voxtrot worked their way through a set that pulled songs from all three EPs, their recently released full-length album, and a new track that somehow managed to mash their personalized pop soundings with 80s hair metal. While songs like Mothers, Sisters, Daughters, and Wives, Kid Gloves, Steven, and Biggest Fan reached for the lofty heights (courtesy of a string quartet) they always seemed destined for, it was The Start of Something that stuck out in the bunch. I guess that is what happens when a gang of goofballs (ok,
Au Revoir Simone,
Favorite Sons, and others) rush the stage at once. We were definitely a little jealous we couldnt bounce around on stage with them. But we did get to freak out a little bit way up in the balconies.

Baebles lovely little Swedish obsession still hasnt run its course. But really, why should it? Having filmed bands like
Mando Diao and
Im From Barcelona (Look for it soon.), and now ,
Shout Out Louds, the choice music that continues to be imported stateside provides reason upon reason to keep our cameras pointed at the countrys artists.

Having earned themselves a slew of critical chatter for their independently released,
Wild Mountain Nation, Portland experi-blazers
Blitzen Trapper brought their rousing and rambling sound to a close-to-capacity show in NYC. Always wanting to decipher pandemonium from pretension, the Baeble crew piled into the Mercury Lounge to hear what all the frenzied fuss surrounding the band was all about.
