LIGHTS + MUSIC 002: TREASURE FINGERS

Lights + Music launched last week to rave reviews as Bag Raiders dropped one of the fiercest sets Tammany Hall has ever seen amidst a sweaty sea of glowsticks, lasers and strobes and a sold out crowd discovered firsthand why Lights + Music is the best new rave Manhattan has to offer. Never ones to rest on our laurels, we're back with a vengeance next week as Lights + Music returns for its second installment with the incomparable Treasure Fingers headlining and support on the decks from The Knocks and DJ Price.

In the mix again are Corona and 900 Degrees providing free beer and pizza for the show's first hour from 10pm to 11pm, before Treasure Fingers take the decks around midnight. Bookending his set will be DJ Price opening things up from 10pm-12am and The Knocks closing things out late night. Plus, we'll have even more glowsticks and lasers in the mix this time around, and with all that amazing music and free alcohol this is a steal at $10 advance tickets and $13 on the door. The launch party sold out in advance and this one's bound to be every bit as crazy, so don't sleep and get your tickets HERE now.

GOLD026: POLARSETS

We are pleased to announce our next release, featuring the Newcastle dance-pop trio, Polarsets. We've been holding off on a full-course Polarsets education until now, but rest assured, class is now in session. Already veterans of the Neon Gold stage after supporting Walk The Moon at our last London showcase earlier this year and each of their infectious Ibiza-channeling singles are further proof that they are masters of crafting hip-popping island vibes. The A-side, "Morning", serves as a wake-up call to all the conservative indie pop bands out there - from the first cowbell strike, the single moves like a flashdance assembly line that picks up tropical steam with each added high hat and steel drum. It's an idiosyncratic mix of Delorean and Two Door Cinema Club that pops you in the jaw with grand aplomb. Once it jumps back into the middle eighth and snaps back to reality, it's all about the bass drum thumps and massive vocal hooks because Polarsets are now officially the big fish in a small pond.

The flipside, "Sunset", plays like a musical anagram of "Morning". The trademark cowbells emerge unscathed and still intact even after Polarsets laid siege to the A-side. The intro to this redux is a welcome respite from their full-frontal onslaught of frantic drum kicks and serves as a seamless segue into a bouncy castle chord progression that gets along so well with Rob Howe's angelic pipes. The tension builds with multiple drums feeding off each other, working in conjunction towards achieving the final dream. The release feels like a full day spent watching stars burning out and being born anew, all the while sitting on top of the world adjacent to the one who matters most. It just feels right. Out August 8th and available now for preorder from the Neon Gold Shop and flaunting heart-stopping art direction from the never not brilliant FRAU GRAU, this is one "Morning" you won't want to sleep through.

POPSHOP008: FRENCH HORN + AVAN LAVA + MORE

So last week we gave you a taste of this Thursday's Popshop with the announcement of French Horn Rebellion, AVAN LAVA, The Jane Doze, PUNCHES and G.L.O.V.E.S., and as if that wasn't enough, today we add two more brilliant live acts to the bill: Miami's PLAINS and Brooklyn's Slowdance. This brings the final lineup to a magnificent four live bands and three DJ acts spread across two floors of all-out Popshop mayhem. And all for the low low price of $10 in advance and $13 on the door, including two hours of open bars courtesy of Absolut (from 8pm-9pm) and Heineken (from 2am-3am), it's pretty much the bargain of the century. So don't delay, cop your tickets HERE and get involved, it's gonna be another glorious night at Tammany Hall.
