Make a date with Division Day



Los Angeles band, Division Day is showering New York City with some California sunshine in October with five shows.

October 11- Union Hall, Brooklyn, 8:30PM
October 17- The Loft on Bowery, 12 PM
October 17- Canal Room (CMJ), 8PM
October 18- Union Hall, Brooklyn, 8:30PM
October 19- Pianos, b/w Ludlow & Stanton, 2PM

They’re dropping their new album, Beartrap Island on October 2nd, but tracks are already available on iTunes. The album is a hit and miss for me, but the when it hits, it hits hard. My favorite tracks are Hurricane, Reversible, Colorguard, and Dayenu, a song that sets itself apart with a steady drum beat and bass line. Scaling back instrumentally lifts lead singer Rohner Segnitz’s into an introspective dimension. Simplicity certainly creates beautiful sounds, but I’m definitely curious to see what kind of live show these boys put on. Good thing I have five chances to find out. Also, it's a little weird to have shows in the afternoon... is that normal? Ah well. Maybe there'll be a chance to play hooky.
