SOULFUL WEEKEND IN NYC BEGINS TONIGHT!
Certified soul legend Howard Tate performs at Joe’s Pub Thursday.If you’re like me, starting around 5PM Wednesday you start counting the minutes until quittin’ time on Friday.

Hot Cold Weekend!
Great fun this past weekend… I kicked it off at Barf-o-Rama at K&M, which had some drunken fools dancing,including some Aussies, plus many of the (un)usual suspects.

DEATH TO BARS! LONG LIVE BARS!
Ashes to ashes, beer to puke. Several venues of note to Garage Punkers have bitten the dust or are about to, and in their place new venues will surely arise and find new and innovative ways to suck. Firstly, (upper) Greenpoint’s Lost & Found, formerly Lulu’s (and I’m sure something else before that), has gone [...]

THE SHORTEST DAYS = THE LONGEST NIGHTS
So here we are, post-turkey and smack dab in buy-or-die season of NY’s recessionary Xmas. You may have noticed it gets dark at like 3 o’clock now, which we here at GPNYC take as a reason to start our drinking and carrying on extra early! Plenty of facilitators to be had this week, including: The [...]
