Update: Findlay Brown

Findlay Brown’s low-key set with his band at Joe’s Pub was my first show of the year and, despite all the hostesses trying to sell me something edible, I enjoyed it.

The first time I saw Findlay was at a CMJ showcase in October (some photos here), and I enjoyed it enough to give him another go. The show was much richer due to the band’s presence. They did a snappy cover of the Eurythmics‘ classic “Sweet Dreams.” The songs of his new album, Love Will Find You, did not sound too shabby either.

Fun fact: he used to be a bare-knuckle boxer. Who knew!

Roundup: CMJ 2009 (Wednesday)

I covered this year’s CMJ for Flavorpill/Flavorwire and was given free reign as to which bands to see.

First up was the Terrorbird day showcase at Cake Shop featuring Silver Starling, ZAZA, Warpaint, Darlings, and Black Hollies (topping the day party with a very catchy set).

Next up were Freelance Whales, Findlay Brown (who was reminiscent of Elvis, albeit quieter), TigerCity, and the Postelles at Bowery Ballroom.
