The Art of Shooting @ Cake Shop 19 November 2005


The Art of Shooting had their "Tyrants Black Eyes" CD release last night at Cake Shop and if you couldn't make it, you missed out on a great show. There was a nice number of people who showed up to see them and during The Art of Shooting's set it seemed like none of them were having conversations - hey, in this city an almost sure measure of how well received a band at a small club is is to look around and see just how many people are talking to each other during the songs.
The Chrissie Hynde/Siouxsie Sioux mixed with Sonic Youth sound that I heard on their songs online carried over nicely to their live show. Both girls handled their guitars well, the drummer was excellent, and the band as a whole had nice presence and seemed to have a blast. There's just something very RIGHT about The Art of Shooting.

Also, I was glad to see they got a mention in this Drowned in Sound feature about the NY music scene.


I'll be going to see them at their next show, you should too:
16th December 2005 at Union Pool in Brooklyn
with Susu

anonymous - sorry, huh?

anyway, by this point Mike knows that the pic featured here on EAR FARM is not one that he took but one I took...look, just don't want people thinking EAR FARM is stealing the work of today's youth and not giving credit.
