Tonight there's a great show at Cameo Gallery in Williamsburg. On the bill are Xeno & Oaklander, Led Er Est, Frank Alpine, Fan-Tan and Kordan.

We posted a performance/interview video that BOMB Magazine did with Xeno & Oaklander the other week. If you haven't checked it out, we've included it below, along with the video from X&O's "Sentinelle," the title track from their terrific new album on Wierd Records.

Brooklyn's Led Er Est and LA's Frank Alpine are also on the Wierd Records roster, and they both make shadowy, synth-pop soundscapes not too far from X&O's territory. Fan-Tan offers up a little more guitar-based, rock-oriented sound, drawing from the glory days of post-punk and new wave. Kordan falls somewhere in between, bringing together electronic and rock atmospheres.

Check out videos of Xeno & Oaklander, Led Er Est and Frank Alpine below.
