There’s a lot of garage-rock around these days, but why not get it from someone who’s anything but new to the game (like most garage-rockers)? Shonen Knife (QRO spotlight on) have been doing it for almost thirty years now, such as this year’s Overdrive (QRO review) – and they’re three Japanese girls (QRO interview), for all you fetishists out there.
The more psychedelic-pop White Fence (QRO photos at a festival) teamed up in 2012 with Ty Segall (QRO album review) for Hair, and now he comes to CMJ.

11:00 PM – Gringo Star
Portland’s Ages and Ages (QRO photos at a festival) are kind of a hipster big tent revival band for the twenty-first century.
New York’s The Dig (QRO photos) have been building and building, thanks to a kick-ass live show (QRO live review), including such gritty songs as the “Shadow” (QRO video) and “She’s Gonna Kill That Boy” (QRO video). They should have new songs as their last release was 2012’s Midnight Flowers (QRO review) – catch The Dig (QRO photos at a festival) before they get big (QRO live review)!
Watch out for the multi-talented seventies party that is Gringo Star (QRO photos). Hailing from Atlanta, Gringo (QRO interview) made a strong impression in 2008 with debut All Y’all (QRO review) and songs like the title track (QRO video) & “Holding On To Hate” (QRO video). An even stronger impression was made live (QRO live review) and at festivals (QRO photos at a festival), where seemingly everyone in the four-piece plays everything (QRO photos at a festival). However, since then the band (QRO spotlight on) has kind of declined into more generic garage-rock with 2011’s Count Yer Lucky Stars (QRO review) and last year’s Floating Out To See.

After a string of EPs, Fullerton, California’s Cold War Kids (QRO photos) blew up in 2006 with their full-length debut, Robbers & Cowards. While 2008’s Loyalty to Loyalty (QRO review) suffered something of a sophomore slump, 2011’s Mine Is Yours (QRO review) and last year’s Miss Lonelyhearts (QRO review) lifted things somewhat, and their live show (QRO live review) is still electric, especially outside (QRO live review outdoors) or at festivals (QRO photos at a festival), as they still ring with singles (QRO photos), from the more recent “Mine Is Yours” and “Audience” (QRO video) to their break-outs “We Used To Vacation”, “Hospital Beds” (QRO video), and “Hang Me Out To Dry” (QRO video).

One of a growing stable of ‘club’ bands (see Two Door Cinema Club – QRO live review – Tokyo Police Club – QRO spotlight on), Crouch End’s Bombay Bicycle Club (QRO photos) alt-folk/rock got hot early on with “Evening/Morning” and debut LP I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose in 2009, but have already followed it up with Flaws in 2010, A Different Kind of Fix (QRO review), and this year’s So Long, See You Tomorrow (QRO review). They headline Terminal 5, after having previously opened there – for Two Door Cinema Club, who previously opened there – for Tokyo Police Club…
