Thursday night's Goes Cube show is a special one, for many reasons. At the moment, I'm too groggy to organize said reasons into coherent paragraphs, so let's go with some ever-popular, easily digestible, fucking adorable bullet points:
- Goes Cube's new record, Another Day Has Passed was released on Tuesday. Full disclosure: no, I haven't heard the album yet, but having caught over half of the album's songs in the live setting, I can personally verify its awesomeness. [check below for some righteous-ass mp3s.] Seriously, come on out and buy a copy, you poser.
- This is the first show of Goes Cube's cross-country trek supporting said record, and the first time they've played at The Studio at Webster Hall. Celebrate that shit!
- All kinds of great bands, with Austerity Program and Jones Street Station performing, in addition to Constants and Red Beard.
- Last time I saw Goes Cube was about a month ago at The Charleston, and they were white-hot. They've always been sick live but the speed, precision and confidence with which they're playing right now is flat-out fucking unreal.
- I've written up Austerity Program a few times here on the Muddd (they're one of my favorite bands), and having seen them twice already this year (but really, who's counting), I can report that they're also on top of their game.
- Drinking alcohol is fun, especially when you're watching excellent live music.
- Perhaps most importantly, as covered here, this will be Goes Cube bassist Matt's final show performing with the band. Matt, you will be missed!
