Last Thursday was the launch of the new monthly party/gig POPSHOP at the newly opened Tammany Hall (formerly The Annex – RIP), and coincidentally my first gig of 2011. Space-wise Tammany Hall isn’t much more than a hall…hence the mandatory coat check upon entry (which was annoying, yet understandable).

Brahms (who just premiered a brand new single on Stereogum today called called Add it Up) were first up on the bill followed by an excruciatingly fun set from French Horn Rebellion. FHR were joined by Savoir Adore‘s Deidre Muro and Paul Hammer and turned up the energy a few more notches for the night’s headliner, none other than my pal MNDR.

MNDR is gearing up to release her latest single Cut Me Out via Green Label Sound, and fans were lucky enough to hear a live performance of the track as she closed out her set! Check out Green Label Sound’s In the Studio With feature where she discusses the new track here.

Special shout out to Colleen Nika who cranked out the tunes behind the turn table between sets! Popshop will take place on the first Thursday of every month!
