After having experienced various problems including alleged copyright infringement, the gang over at Pop Tarts Suck Toasted are celebrating the official launch of their latest iteration with a very cool show at Piano’s on September 3. As Staten Island–based PTST founder Patrick Duffy explains on the new site, “In 2010 the internets have not been kind to Pop Tarts Suck Toasted. February saw the deletion of the site from Google’s Blogger format, destroying the archives that had been built up over five years in the click of a button. Later in the year the domain name, poptartssucktoasted.com, was sold off without warning and I took the blog into retirement seemingly forever.” But now they’re back, at www.ptst.org, where you can find out the latest in new music releases and show listings — after first having checked twi-ny, of course. The night begins with Bermuda Bonnie at 8:00, who play lo-fi electronica with a girl-group groove. At 9:00, MiniBoone take the stage, a bunch of “Cool Kids Cut Out of the Heart Itself”; we loved how they ended their Northside Festival gig at Spike Hill with an infectious reckless abandon. At 10:00, AJ, Sean, and Miles, who make up the Brooklyn trio Your Youth, will do what they want as long as they don’t get caught, as they declare on “Diamond,” one of the songs from their engaging debut EP, ALOHA. Coney Island seven-piece Ava Luna will get orchestral closing the show at 11:00.
