#39: CLAVVS, with Noods, b3cca

With concerts cancelled, bands make due.  No NYC band is making a greater effort than King Crash, probably the first to play out in the city in lockdown. I sit down with Ryan Shivdasani, Jack Redford and Rubio to get an inside look about what it looks like to forge ahead as a performer in lockdown. We talk about the joy of public performances, what the upcoming Open Culture initiative could mean for performers, why the most colorful characters tend to approach Jack, how Ryan doesn't really want to hear Jimi Hendrix everyday, and Rubio gives some insight as to why other bands might be more reluctant to do all that King Crash does.Also in this episode are mentions of a few other NYC bands that play out (info below).Got any tips on where to see bands, or would like to see a band featured?

#38: How Was It For You? Interview With King Crash

Alternative Title: But Where Can I Go To A Rave?In Part 2 of the Lockdown Recap, Marleah is here to discuss the EDM scene in NYC (and tips for finding where to go in your own city if you’re not from around here), with Gregory Gelfand and Jenya Taran of Mindgazm, a local NYC DJ act she got to see twice over the past month, who also add live instruments and visuals to their sets, for a full electronic dance experience. In this conversation, we talk about the duo’s transition from band to genre-fusing EDM act, the expanded sonic palette (how we love this phrase) electronic music lends itself to, the future of melodic dance music, the 20 year NYC music cycle, how DJs are leading the charge in the NYC music scene (Marleah is a little tough on bands here, sorry), what the underground looks like, and how “you really can’t stop people from being tribal”. Plus, a How Was It For You? discussion, where Marleah finds out what the Mindgazm set she saw was like for them (Greg is ok with a little unexpected B2B!).  The video version will be posted soon on our IGTV, and Mindgazm’s EP One Funky Evening is set to release on TRAX Records on 11-27-20!Got any tips on where to see DJs? Want us to come see *your* set?

#37: Lockdown Recap, Part 2: DJs/EDM, with Mindgazm

David Pattillo

It’s been a loooong hiatus, and we’ve struggled for the live music that nourishes us…but it can be found! Marleah is here for the Lockdown Recap, Part 1, Concerts, to discuss the live music scene in NYC (and tips for finding it in your own city if you're not from these parts!). First half, Mar sits down with her friend Ladell who she saw Akie Bermiss with, at Wild Birds. Ladell felt Akie hit his soul and appreciates sci-fi themed tunes. Marleah recalls being raised on Jazzercise and All My Children, and loves a cover that’s better than the original. Second half, for another How Was It For You? segment, Marleah is with David Pattillo of Strange Majik, who she saw at Culture Lab on September 19. We recap the set, and also hear about background on the band, how ideas float down from the ether, that time David played for Kimye, and lo-fi highs.

#36: Lockdown Recap, Part 1: Concerts, with David Pattillo of Strange Majik

With quarantine in effect, concerts are out. So we’ve got a new segment, How Was It For You?, where we interview an artist we love on their take on a show (or shows) we went to. On this episode, we get to chat with Evan Zwisler and Mason Taub of The Values! Mason and Evan get into their intricate songwriting process (they’ve got a bomb home setup, well lit too we’ll add), the energy they bring to their shows, the artists that inspire them, what they’re doing in quarantine (their new single, Quarantine, dropped on April 29!), favorite concerts they’ve attended, and we get a funny little story about their informal first wedding dance. Marleah talks about the time she didn’t ask for her money back after a Marky Mark show, and recommends Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama for The Values’ next bad movie night. James takes a stand on how he likes his music biopics to be historically accurate, and recalls our first ever show of the band, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise.The Values info: https://www.thevaluesband.com/The Values music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3I7hfAn65jaeTy1fUtNnc0?si=DC9l3_9gR8eMT8SVJXqy9QIntro music: Evan Rhind, IG @xrhindcorex

Eli Sokolow

With quarantine in effect, concerts are out. So we’ve got a new segment, How Was It For You?, where we interview an artist we love on their take on a show (or shows) we went to. On this episode, we have a fantastic discussion with Eli Sokolow- lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of The Living Strange. We ask about shows of the band that we went to, of course (like when James showed up awkwardly early, and like when Marleah was captivated with Eli’s suave delivery of a new ballad), but also get Eli’s take on the band’s aesthetic, what keeps him busy during quarantine, the importance of putting on a captivating show, Tiger King (because how can you not) and future developments for the band (hint hint, we have an Excluuuusiiiive!).

Marleah and James recap Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, who James saw at Brooklyn Bowl on 2-27-20.

We explore the interesting possibility of marrying blues with EDM, talk about blues cover songs, James gives us a deep dive on the blues genre, and Marleah wants to be know as intrinsically by someone as Kingfish knows the guitar (she understands this takes years).

Marleah and James recap Peter Bradley Adams, who they saw at Rockwood Music Hall on 2-17-20. Marleah loves the perfect mix of sensitive and stoic masculinity (quote of the episode: “like he’s holding back a roar that we never get to hear.”). James points out Anthony da Costa’s ability to be the perfect type of accompanist and backup singer- bringing his own stage presence to the table, without upstaging the featured act. Marleah and James had a rock ’n’ roll weekend, meeting both Mason of The Values and Andy Frasco of Andy Frasco and the U.N. !We offer the shot for you to executive produce an episode, where we cover *any* show you want in the NYC area (and even have you guest on the show if you’d like)!

#30: Peter Bradley Adams

After an overview of the new Tame Impala album, Marleah and James recap Saint Motel (with KOLARS), who they saw at Webster Hall on 2-13-20. Marleah introduces James to Shirley Bassey and can’t get enough of costume changes. James dislikes frequent clap-a-longs, and is in the camp that everything Saint Motel does is meticulously planned (true??).

Luke Jenner

In a new segment we call The Internet Couldn’t Tell Us, Marleah and James have the opportunity to sit down with Luke Jenner of The Rapture, out on location at Union Hall.It all started with a burning question Marleah had about parallels between The Rapture’s Killing and LCD Soundsystem’s Losing My Edge. What’s the full story there? The Internet Couldn’t Tell Us. But there’s so much more, including a closer look at Luke’s early years in NYC and time with DFA/James Murphy, discussion on memorable shows, family life, growth and recovery, what he’s working on today…and BASEBALL. Lots of baseball (yep, James leads on that part). This interview is chock full of books to read, artists to hear, documentaries to watch, and hope to have. We hope you enjoy it.

#28: The Internet Couldn't Tell Us: Interview with Luke Jenner of The Rapture, at Union Hall

We had a delay due to the holidays but we’re back! Side note: we couldn’t ID at recording time, but the opening song is Homebound by Nora En Pure, closer is Birthright by Nora En Pure.Marleah and James recap the Nora En Pure (with Worakls, Enamour and Local Dialect) show they saw at Avant Gardner on 12-28-19…with our guest, Anna! Marleah shows up to this one as your perfect raver babysitter, but was a little disappointed about not hearing some top Nora En Pure jams. James is a new fan of Local Dialect, and explains to you all what a sit-down is. Anna showed up a little late, barely alleviating Mar’s true crime fears and, BONUS! Anna tells us all about her wild experience last month at a fest you probably didn’t know happened- Saudi Arabia’s first (and the Middle East’s largest) ever music festival…MDL Beast (see our IG @highdecibelspod for pics and clips!) This was definitely a historic festival- combining some really big names and local unknowns alike (who up until now had never performed publicly in the country) and worth a listen, especially for all the EDM fans out there. All three of us would have loved just a liiiitle less bass at our show, and were happy to get caught up after so many months apart :))))We offer the shot for you to executive produce an episode, where we cover any show you want in the NYC area (and even have you guest on the show if you’d like)!

#23: Nora En Pure, with Worakls, Enamour, Local Dialect

Marleah and James talk about the Bastille (with Joywave) show that James saw on 9/24/19 at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden. Marleah loves some Madonna-esque camp onstage and is delighted to hear Dan Smith’s take on this in his own performance. James expresses his annoyance at loudmouths who talk during the show, couples who sing lyrics at each other with no clue as to their meaning, and a lonely piece of confetti in lieu of a full drop. And Marleah and James find themselves on the same page when it comes to matchy-matchy outfits- no one did it better than The Hives.

Zach Jones

Marleah and James talk about the Jukebox the Ghost (with Zach Jones &amp; The Tricky Bits) show that Marleah saw at Webster Hall on 10-26-19…for Jukebox the Ghost’s special Halloween show, Halloqueen! It’s one half JTG, one half JTG as Queen (and yes, they dress up!).Marleah relays a fan theory as to why Jukebox the Ghost isn’t mainstream and ruminates over her flip-flopping crush on Ben Thornewill, depending on whether he’s channeling Freddie Mercury (it’s when he’s channeling Freddie Mercury). Side note: we don’t claim to know exactly what went down with Tally Hall and Atlantic, this is all rumors, people!

Marleah and James talk about seeing The Rapture (with C R I C K E T S and Wah Together) at Music Hall of Williamsburg on 12-3-19…with special guest, Drake! Marleah *finally* gets to indulge in some dance punk, the flip side of her other favorite genre, big beat (see episode #13), and dubs Gabriel Andruzzi the Lindsay Stirling of The Cowbell.  James hits you with tons of fun facts about the background of the band and the culture they came up in, and he really should’ve been there in NYC, 2003. Drake gives practical (and beauty-queen-worthy, in terms of its diplomacy) advice on concertgoer etiquette, and will never again eat vegan pizza.

#20: The Rapture with C R I C K E TS, Wah Together

First High Decibels EDM recap! Marleah and James talk about the Bonobos (with Tourist, J-E-T-S and Catching Flies)show they saw at The Brooklyn Mirage on 8-17-19.Marleah reminds you there’s no need to be aurally jackhammered every goddamn second of an EDM show, encouraging you to sit with and really take in those longer downtempo moments in an experimental set (unless you really, really need the restroom or something). James talks laser shows at Brooklyn Mirage, and how he wore the Giants jersey because one of the DJ duos was called J-E-T-S which had nothing to do with football but, you know, JUST IN CASE.Venue: https://www.avant-gardner.com/Bonobo music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0cmWgDlu9CwTgxPhf403hb?si=srTZsM4RS4iWStEJAwvZTQBonobo shows: https://www.bandsintown.com/a/2956?came_from=257Tourist music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2ABBMkcUeM9hdpimo86mo6?si=KdwkWLjwRGWugz49gu61ZgTourist shows: https://www.bandsintown.com/a/42893?came_from=257J-E-T-S music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3pOnPfJ9MReuu20YnLFRej?si=U2YcPV1GQ-KedqQQuyJEgQJ-E-T-S shows: https://www.bandsintown.com/a/104721?came_from=257Catching Flies music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4zAOqBfNLyWFvj1e3yvypJ?si=s9jjriMMQUaBJDUt7lHruQCatching Flies shows: https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/catchingfliesQuantic music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5ZMwoAjeDtLJ0XRwRTgaK8?si=pgK-Jh18Tk2J-52n1-znwwQuantic shows: https://www.songkick.com/artists/412964-quanticFollow us on IG: @highdecibelspodcast

#6: Bonobo with Tourist, J-E-T-S, Catching Flies, 8-17-19

Marleah and James talk about the Ganja White Knight (with Boogie T, Jantsen, and Subdocta) show Marleah saw at Avant Gardner on 11-30-19. Marleah forgot both her fan *and* refractors for this one, but on the plus side, did have a couple openers win her over (modern dubstep normally feels for her like driving on the Natchez Trace Parkway…excuse her misnaming it in the episode). James recalls his own experiences at Avant Gardner and- guess what?- he’s got a fan to clack of his own (you’ll be seeing it on the IG soon)! Both Marleah and James love the production value at Avant Gardner, and encourage you to Know Your Roots, when it comes to genres you love. Know the origins of things! Know where your shit came from.A note: Our concert audio recordings are never spectacular, but these are particularly distorted, due to the blown out bass typical of a modern dubstep show. Have a listen to the links for a better sense of the artists.We offer the shot for you to executive produce an episode, where we cover any show you want in the NYC area (and even have you guest on the show if you’d like)!

#19: Ganja White Knight with Boogie T, Jantsen, Subdocta

Kate Yeager

Stefan Alexander

Marleah and James talk about the Sofar Sounds (ok, we were talkin' crazy, they probs didn't do a show in Antarctica) show they saw on 9/4/19 at the Boogie Room featuring Stefan Alexander, Pinkie Promise and Kate Yeager. Marleah has a massive hangover which at times leaves her inarticulate, especially when fanning out over the incredible Stefan Alexander (and also has her accidentally calling Pinkie Promise “Pinkie Swear” at one point, sorry girl but, maybe thatsa future side project?). James, slightly more articulate today, has it bad for Pinkie Promise’s guitar playing and gives a rundown of her unique song stylings. Marleah and James both agree that if you were ever to have a child themed adult birthday party (a bouncy house AND a vodka luge, what could go wrong), Kate Yeager is hands down THE perfect featured act for such a soiree.

Marleah and James talk about the Tame Impala (with Velvet Negroni) concert that Marleah saw on 8/21 and James saw on 8/22 at Madison Square Garden. A concert beyond verbal description, but hey, we try. Marleah declares that a Tame Impala show mixed with mild psychedelics is probably THE most effective psychological treatment you can buy and it should be covered by insurance. James gives a PSA on what to do when your friend/neighbor collapses at a show which, hint, is not to just stand there because God forbid you miss a moment of your fucking show- be a decent human and GRAB. HELP. Your need to rage does not come before someone in need of emergency assistance. And to the mission of this episode, Marleah and James BOTH advocate for Phony Ppl to reach out to Tame Impala because we’re certain the former would be the PERFECT opener for the latter in the next tour cycle…Kevin Parker, are you listening?

Annabelle Chairlegs

Black Joe Lewis

Marleah and James talk about the Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears (with Annabelle Chairlegs and Yella Belly) concert they saw at The Bell House on 8-16-19. Marleah expresses her always high-key appreciation for meaningful lyrics (especially one she heard that acknowledges that often times, when one thing gets better, something else gets worse...and that's ok). James digs into extolling the virtues of one of his favorite genres of music, that bluesy southern rock, and the lap steel guitar.Venue: https://www.thebellhouseny.com/Yella Belly shows: https://www.yellabellyband.com/#tour-sectionYella Belly music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/04sc5FYh3O1PsCnwSadmE7?si=BAfmKX_YQZW7mtC6xUGusQAnnabelle Chairlegs shows: https://www.annabellechairlegs.com/showsAnnabelle Chairlegs music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1Fr1a6j80ISD0UonvFM5V6Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears shows: https://www.songkick.com/artists/2338111-black-joe-lewis-and-the-honeybearsBlack Joe Lewis and the Honeybears music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6kbzJ40luXJ5IKnSpWr7SD

Alison Wonderland

Marleah and James recap the Alison Wonderland (with Nina Las Vegas and Hiawatha) “Wonderland Warehouse Project” show that they saw at Avant Gardner on 12-7-19. After deep diving into a theory as to whether Killing by The Rapture is in fact a dance punk dis track by Luke Jenner, Marleah gets into the ins-and-outs of EDM/pop crossover. James loves Baby Yoda (who doesn’t) and gives a nice overview of Triple J’s Like a Version. The two also finally clacked fans together, and got to check out Avant Gardner’s The Lost Circus (Belgian, not German, whoops) Spiegeltent post-show!We offer the shot for you to executive produce an episode, where we cover any show you want in the NYC area (and even have you guest on the show if you’d like)!

Tredici Bacci

Marleah and James recap Tredici Bacci (with Godcaster, Eyes of Love, Starla Online, Mr. Transylvania), who they saw at Mercury Lounge (AN historic venue! ahahahaha!) on 1-26-20. Marleah sees her junior high signature look on a 2019 bartender, and dislikes soft synth because it feels like a corporation attempting to lull you into complacency. James loves a collaboration between punks and the classically trained, and wonders if Mr. Transylvania lost a Fantasy Football bet. Both appreciate effort and charisma on stage, that’s always nice to have. We offer the shot for you to executive produce an episode, where we cover *any* show you want in the NYC area (and even have you guest on the show if you’d like)!

#26: Tredici Bacci, with Godcaster, Eyes of Love, Starla Online, Mr. Transylvania

Marleah and James talk about the Pond (with The Muckers) show that they saw on 9/21/19 at Warsaw. Marleah likens the auditory experience of The Muckers to washing down a tab of acid with a bottle of Old Grandad. James gives props to our local Aussies, who do a damn good job of showing up for their people. Both Marleah and James seriously wonder if, in fact, Nick Allbrook is somehow the magical love child of Laurie Anderson, twice fertilized, once by Jagger and once by Bowie. Just...google these people. You'll see. Also, all concert venues should offer free water.On our Twitter @highdecibelspod: Nick Allbrook...magical love child of Laurie Anderson/Mick Jagger/David Bowie?Venue: http://www.warsawconcerts.comThe Muckers shows: https://www.songkick.com/artists/8459853-muckersThe Muckers music: https://open.spotify.com/search/the%20muckersPond shows: https://www.songkick.com/artists/355348-pondPond music: https://open.spotify.com/search/pondIntro music: Evan James Rhind IG: @xrhindcorex
