Coming off a buzzworthy CMJ, Staten Island’s Cymbals Eat Guitars have just announced a bunch of new tour dates, including a headlining gig at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on April 9, 2010 (Buy Tickets 12/11 at noon). Here’s what one of their fellow neighborhood bloggers had to say about them earlier this year:
For a good portion of this year there has been buzz swirling around New York locals Cymbals Eat Guitars, thanks to a sudden and completely unexpected Best New Music nod from a certain music website. That nod took a young band and thrust them into the spotlight, nabbing them high profile shows that most bands have to work their way into. In other words the backlash to the success Cymbals Eat Guitars have found for themselves should be arriving about 5-minutes ago. Not surprisingly the band has moments of absolute genius when they’re on stage, but there is also that deer in the headlights feeling that they just haven’t had enough time to work into the success. Some songs sound incredible mixing punk and psychedelic aspects flawlessly, other tunes sound like a garbled mess that needs just a little tweaking to be something noteworthy. Basically, I’m saying the guys over at Pitchfork were half right, there is a lot behind Cymbals Eat Guitars that I really like but there are small things here and there that need to be worked on and I think maybe this band might be able to pull it off.
