Trans Am, Oneida, and Big Bear @ the Knitting Factory

Saturday was one of those typical New York nights when there are way too many good shows to go to and you are forced make some hard decisions. There was O'death at the Mercury Lounge, Call Me Lightning at the Cake Shop and Onieda and Trams Am at the Knitting Factory. I decide to head down to the Knitting Factory for Trans Am and Oneida early show. The show began with heavy math rocker Big Bear who I was completely unfamiliar with but they left me very impressed. Oneida set was great as usual and featured cool visual provided by The Mighty Robot A/V Squad. Trams Am's set which was kind of plagued by equipment problems was still pretty fun. After Trans Am's set I took off to try and catch Call Me lightning at the Cake shop but unfortunately got side tracked and ended up just watching SNL with Rain Wilson and the Arcade Fire.
