Wow, frenzied is the only way to describe today. However, late as it is, I decided that today is so full of wonderful events that I couldn't not post about it, compulsive chronicler that I am. On with the show:

Record release parties can never be bad times, it's an actual rule. Tonight hosts the LIARS' release of the intriguingly-titled They Were Wrong So We Drowned. Liars are one of the bands who have paved the way for hypnotic quasi-trance mechanical rock; without them The Rapture wouldn't be hip-shaking their way up the charts. Helping this band kick it proper are none other than TV ON THE RADIO, a talented group in their own right, and Chromatics, a band which has a robotic and ambient groove to them which is quite enticing. Bring your own sausages and vodka, and get to the Warsaw by 8pm with $14 (261 Driggs Ave., Greenpoint/Williamsburg, Bklyn).

Meanwhile over at Irving Plaza (17 Irving Place at 15th), those crazy Swedes THE SOUNDS shall be performing live for your pleasure. Just picked to open The Strokes' US tour, The Sounds have a catchy take on the derivative '80s formula. Nothing earth-shattering here, but Maja Ivarsson seems to have tremendous charm and charisma; this band should provide a dance-till-you-drop fun night for you all. Because, as Cyndi so blithely put it, girls just wanna have fun.

That's all for now, but keep an eye out folks because tomorrow and Thursday are big days indeed. We're talking THE FEVER and THE VON BONDIES hitting the Bowery, followed directly by THE SEXY MAGAZINES careening into CBGBs (and ps, check out the photo album for new pics of The Sexy's Sunday show). Whoa.

I've got your song stuck in my head like a knife/Whoa-S.
