God bless the Cake Shop for having carved a performance space in Manhattan for all the DIY, Lo-Fi, garage and punk bands! The venerable LES venue just booked Brooklyn garage-pop quartet Trashbear for a four date November Monday residency that started this week and will continue until November 24. The band plays charming and well crafted, but nonetheless scruffy, pop songs, definitely the kind of chilled but fun music needed to improve the average New Yorker’s late fall Monday nights!
