Cheetah Chrome : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive

Downstairs at Toronto’s Bovine Sex Club, Cheetah Chrome’s perched on a destroyed sofa. This basement is the kind of place that can destroy any illusions that might be out there about what it means to be “backstage” or “in the dressing room.” Outside, the air is heavy and humid, but the basement hideaway Cheetah’s been [...]

Bat For Lashes Knitting Factory, NYC 7.25.07 : Sentimentalist Magazine

Natasha Khan, the extraordinarily lovely lady behind England’s Bat for Lashes, is, to put it bluntly, all that and a Tim Burton movie. (Sorry, but ‘a bag of chips’ just wouldn’t do this girl justice.)
On just her second performance in New York City, the 27 year-old Khan is quickly building a sizeable local audience, and, [...]

The White Stripes with Porter Wagoner and Grinderman MSG, NYC 7.24.07 : Sentimentalist Magazine

Jack was nimble, Jack was quick. Jack White sold out the “World’s Most Famous Arena,” and was named one-half of the Best Touring Band by an online poll, lickety-split.
“I don’t believe we’ve played this bar before,” he bashfully quipped near the end of his band’s sweaty, frantic, undeniably great two-hour takedown of Madison Square Garden [...]

Chase Pagan Cake Shop, NYC 7.20.07 : Sentimentalist Magazine

To put it plainly, Chase Pagan will soon be as well-known as Antony, Rufus or Devendra, just give him time. His incredible Freddy Mercuryesque, vaudevillian falsetto, his complex yet quirky melodies and the fantastical, epic leanings of his lyrics and themes are just a few of the reasons to pay heed to this gifted Arkansas [...]

Bête Noire Menswear Preview : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive

It was a humid Sunday evening at dusk somewhere in the Garment District, perhaps a strange time for the unveiling of a new menswear line with the mysterious name of Bête Noire, but strangely appropriate as well, since this collection is far from your typical NYC 9 to 5 menswear fare.

Interpol: Behind the Scenes : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive

(Scott Irvine reloads his camera)
We thought it would be a small thrill to take you behind the scenes for the cover photo shoot we did for Sentimentalist Magazine 25, in addition to giving some background on the NYC magazine that has followed the band since their humble beginnings. We hope you enjoy it.
Who knew [...]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - “Is Is” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review

 Here’s the down low on what Is Is is…it’s an EP and DVD of live favorites Karen O and her rowdy brethren love to play during their infamously riotous shows. When she asks you to tell her what “Rockers to Swallow,” you better give in, because sooner or later she’ll eat you alive in that [...]

Tegan & Sara - “The Con” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review

 Do not let these dual-harmony sweethearts fool you, they have teeth and they are sharpened. Whoever it is they’re, or at least one of them, is pissed off at has a record full of venom to dwell on. “Are You Ten Years Ago,” is the fire, taking a page from Phil Collins’ drum machine meltdown [...]

Pitchfork Music Festival ‘07 – Dance, Hipster, Dance! : Sentimentalist Magazine Online Exclusive

Dan Deacon gets all Sentimental!
Your Mp3 Blog Sucks!
So said the back of a lone, angry man’s t-shirt, the torso supporting it all lifeless as a tree trunk. There is no possible way that the Junior Boys, then mid-set, could ever have noticed this man. And they didn’t. They paid no mind, and instead shotgunned [...]

Mick Harvey - “Two of Diamonds” : Sentimentalist Magazine Review

 If you don’t know who Mick Harvey is by now, you should feel shame. Shame on you for not knowing his work in The Birthday Party. Shame on you for not knowing his work in Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Shame on you for not knowing his work in Crime and the City Solution. [...]
