The Echo Friendly played at Mercury Lounge tonight, and I took this video of the band’s last song “Same Mistakes.”
“Same Mistakes” played during the end credits of an episode of Girls. Here’s the first live video of “Same Mistakes” ever on YouTube:

Saturday May 5th, I caught Exitmusic opening for School of Seven Bells at Le Poisson Rouge.
I was impressed with the force and power that Exitmusic exuded. Exitmusic’s songs would be perfect for the soundtrack of a movie – the music was dark, brooding, and cinematic.
Unique aspects of the set: The drummer played an electric bass drum, and the guitarist played with a violin bow on one song.
“The Hours” stuck out as the band’s best song. Check out a live version on KEXP:
Big Deal has a great song called “Chair.”
At first I thought the song would be even better with drums, but the two guitars create a synergistic, inherently percussive quality to “Chair.” Check out a live version of the song and see what you think:
Memoryhouse recently recorded a live session of songs. “Punctum” and “The Kids Were Wrong” are the best.
Memoryhouse plays Sunday (tomorrow night) at the Highline Ballroom.
Here’s a wonderfully-shot video from last year of Azure Ray playing “Don’t Leave My Mind” live:
“Emmylou” is a new song (not yet released) by First Aid Kit.
The chorus is cool because it references the country musicians Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, Johnny Cash, and June Carter Cash.
