One of the smallest halls in town still pulls the biggest up-and-coming star power. Scruffy, sexy Mercury Lounge is about the size of a Midwestern basement, with floors three times as sticky, but its the best spot in the Lower East Side to accommodate small- to mid-level rock bands and the Penny Lanes who are loving them first; practically every three-chord marquee name on Ticketmaster, from the Strokes to the New Pornographers, tread these boards in their ascent. And theyll come back for secret shows fairly often; watch this space, and befriend the bouncers.
Can't wait until the Dead Trees are back in Cambridge. They are all I play these days.

Go See This Show!!! His debut album is awesome!
"The debut album from the Reverend John DeLore, "Ode to an American Urn" is a 13-song tour de force! The poet-like attention to lyrics is underscored by melodies and arrangements whose breadth of musical dynamics is rare in modern albums.
"Ode to an American Urn" moves deftly from bombastic, blues-tinged rock, to songs with big, sprawling spaces for the listener to explore, to songs filled with breath and intimacy. The expansiveness of the album works because "American Urn" also has what other modern albums lack: a common thread of intention connecting the songs, a common heart.
"Truly a collection of Indie-Rock-Americana gems. Repeat listens are encouraged!!!" --csl
