Description

The WrestleMania of Bowery Presents venues, Terminal 5 is where you go to revel in sweaty, overgrown, not-so-indie acts such as LCD Soundsystem, Ratatat, My Morning Jacket, and so on. The bands that play here are capable of filling up the Bowery Ballroom six times over, and have already cracked-or soon will-the Billboard Hot 100. Yes, Terminal 5 is mammoth. Fortunately, the building's no-seating cube design divvies up the 3,000-person capacity into three levels, the upper two wrapping around the crammed ground floor. Thus, sold-out shows still maintain some kind of band-in-your-face factor, the defining quality of the Bowery Presents experience.

    Given the pedigree here—Miike Snow members Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg moonlight as crack radio-pop unit Bloodshy & Avant—this project might feel like the music-biz equivalent of clock-punching. Unless, that is, you thrill to artfully t... More »

    | Wed, April 04, 2012

    The goofy name and Gossip Girl associations seem to have prevented this New Zealand synth-rock outfit from being taken seriously by American indie types. But onstage the Naked and Famous come as close as anyone in reproducing the sexy-aggro rush o... More »

    | Wed, March 21, 2012

    After its second single went from viral video source material to one of the biggest songs in the country, Gotye’s Making Mirrors still sounds fantastic for the way it so cannily restates the production tropes of Sting and Peter Gabriel's finest '8... More »
