Ta-dah! We’ve got a new column here at LNWF. Down With Digital! will focus on concert photography in a non-digital format. We love digital photography as well, but it’s cool to get a different look every now and then. There will be a few posts this week from our resident Leica-lovin’ photographer Linda Wildemann, so be sure to check them out.

For the first column, here are a bunch of shots Ms. Wildemann took at Matt and Kim’s recent show/party on Greene St. in NYC on May 28th. Check them all after the jump.

Ok, ladies and gentleman. I gotta say…I’m writing this and freaking out about what might be the greatest news of the month or year. Dillinger Four. In NYC. For two days. WITH MATT AND KIM AND THE CIRCLE JERKS! 

The only problem though is that the Saturday show is the same day as Hot Water Music’s show at Terminal 5. Fear not though because there will be a Brooklyn show the next day. Is the sky falling? More info after the jump.

I first saw Matt and Kim play last spring when they opened for Defiance, Ohio in some hipster’s loft in Brooklyn. Before they came on, I was expecting folk peace punk music in the same vein as the headliners but instead I was greeted with cheery minimalist dance music performed by a wide grinned female drummer, Kim, and a squeaky voiced keyboardist and vocalist named Matt.

The crowd bopped around like crazy and people swayed back and forth surprisingly not breaking anything in the dining room area of the loft. Since that night, I’ve kept tabs on the releases and shows of the Brooklyn native band. Recently, Matt and Kim released their first full release on Iheartcomix records and they opened up for Les Savy Fav at NYU a few weeks ago.

This band is definitely worth checking out. Below is the music video for the their song “5k.”
