PHOTOS: Noise By Numbers @ Generation Records

Matt over at Generation Records keeps pulling together some kick-ass instores.

Noise By Numbers was the first band from the latest Generation instore event this past Saturday. Headed by Dan Schafer formerly of Screeching Weasel and Jeff Dean from The Bomb, the band has just released a solid new album, "Yeah, Whatever" on Asian Man Records.

Noise By Numbers combines elements of 80's indie rock with pop punk melody to create honest catchy sing along anthems. Fans of Jawbreaker, The Replacements, and Dinosaur Jr will find Noise By Numbers new album an easy and instant addition to their record collection.

If you get a chance catch them tonight at Webster Hall's The Studio with a packed bill: Noise By Numbers, Let Me Run, I Hate Our Freedom, Worrier, and Black Wine. Presented by Late Night Wallflower, you get a whole night's worth of music for $10.

PHOTOS: Record Store Day 2010

After last years' amazing Bouncing Souls acoustic performance, Generation Records had alot to live up to for Record Store Day 2010. They delivered with an afternoon of music, beer, and Andrew WK.

Cymbals Eat Guitars started off the afternoon with a whole-hearted energetic set. Next up was Black Wine. This band is great, a nod to the early 90's indie rock scene ala Dinosaur Jr or the Vasolines. Closing out the day was Staten Island funk/afro beat collective Budos Band. And inbetween sets Andrew WK and Sohrab from Obits spun the turntables.

For the photo nerds out there, I rented the Canon 5D for this shoot and it's awesome. I'm making the transition over to Canon and these pics we're all shot with my new Canon 24-70mm 2.8L. Wow, what a camera. Can't wait to do some video on these new HDSLRs. Trying to wait for the 5D MarkIII to come out but it looks like I'm buying a 7D in the mean time!
