February Band of the Month


Each month we will post our current favorite band for the present month (we are a few days off this month). It will be based on opinion. Strictly opinion and growth of said opinion. For Example, Radiohead are always held in high regard here at Musicolgy nyc, so even though they were very active this month and In Rainbows is still playing away like crazy, it will be very difficult for them to win a band of the month award because it would be nearly impossible for us to love them anymore than we do.

It was a difficult month to decide on a winner once again. Phosphorescent was a contender after a live show had us diving into their current record. Another competitor was Cloud Cult, as news of their new album and song had us digging deep through their wonderful discography. If we could have scored a copy of this Grand Archives record they probably would have had a better chance.

Ultimately it became very clear who our winner should be. Quite simply they blew our mind at the Mercury Lounge a couple weeks back and we haven't stopped thinking of them yet.

Our congratulations and thanks goes to (another) Frenchkiss Records band, the Big Sleep! The bands new record Sleep Forever was released and has created quite a stir. If you have never seen this band live, it is your fault. Do it now.

Congratulations again to the Big Sleep!

The Big Sleep Tonight at Mercury Lounge

Awful excited for "Band of the Month" contender The Big Sleep at the Mercury Lounge tonight. The intesity of the studio work is enough to get anyone pumped. It is a record release party in support of Sleep Forever. You can read a review of it by Nick Greto over at kevchino.

I imagine tonight will look and sound something like this:

The Big Sleep Announce Record Release Show


The Big Sleep really wake us up here at musicology. The Brooklyn trio plays (mostly) instrumental, dream-like rock that makes you want to stay awake. They have a new record called Sleep Forever, that will be available on February 19, 2008. There will be a record release party on February 21 at the Mercury Lounge. I imagine you would like to be there.
