A friendly memo that Cold War Kids are playing a FREE show tomorrow at Prospect Park’s Celebrate Brooklyn series!!!

The guys are embarking on a massive world-wide tour in August for their upcoming sophomore album, dropping September 23rd.

But if you really can’t wait to see them live (or if you can’t make it to BK tomorrow), here’s a “making the album” sneak peek video of these Long Beach rockers.

My friend just sent me this and I had to share.

It’s a band called, well, I don’t think it can be called a band due to it’s members being all robots. Or perhaps seeing that a human is the mastermind behind this it has validity to being called a band?

See for yourself and let me know your thoughts. Nylon blog readers, I present “THE TRONS”.

Side note * Me and Tim (from Ok GO) will be spinning at Pash tomorrow night around 10 pm.

Come dance!

So the Sundance Channel’s music performance and interview program Live From Abbey Road is now in its second season and the upcoming calendar looks solid.

You can expect a good assortment of bands from all genres: iconic legends, Top 40 hit makers, indie rock darlings.

This week’s episode (which you can catch tonight) features British cutie Kate Nash and you can check out clips from her Interview and Performance videos online.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for future guests like Stereophonics, The Black Keys, MGMT, and The Kills!!!!

Check it out, Live From Abbey Road airs Thursdays at 10pm.

Well, here we are at the Alexander Wang Sample Sale.  It’s at 396 Broadway, just below Canal Street in NYC.  And it’s pretty good, but not super cheap (yet).

It looks like the best bets are amazing cashmere sweaters, on sale for $40.  There’s also a lot of gauzy tops in white and black, which go for around $100, plus dresses for $180 and those famous black tweed jackets for $275.

So if you’re…

Very stylish, between a size 2 - 10, looking for a Fall wardrobe,  and not broke, this is a good sample sale for you.

If you’d never spend more than $40 on anything, you can hold out until the last day and see how the markdowns go.  Or you can go shop at H&M which is also really fun.

PS - Just saw Charlotte Ronson buying sweaters here!!!  xo faran

New York Mag is stoked on the Virgins, though they think they’re Lowbrow… really? Seriously? “You don’t have to be such an asshole all the time” isn’t one of the most poignant lyrics you’ve heard in years? We really disagree. But it’s cool to see them name-checked.
