When life gives you lemons, go make margaritas! When life gives you the fleas, start a flea circus and charge admission! When life gives you a spring weekend in the Greater New York Metropolitan area jam packed with bad ass underground rock and roll happenings and dance parties, you take it by the hand and yell “KISS ME, you FOOL”! Yeah, cause you like it THAT way.
FAT ASS TUESDAY
Fat Tuesday’s Rock and Roll Freakout…
Hullabaloo! Born Loose, Foster Care, more @ Don Pedro February 5th
Hullabaloo! returned to Don Pedro this past Saturday with a straight-up punk rocking bill. (blurry) iphone pics were taken; (even blurrier) camera pics were taken. They’re here for your amusement and to the detriment of your eyesight. First up, the JIGGLERS: Next up were streetpunkers the 45 Adapters (sorry, especially shitty and incomprehensible photos on [...]
Pregame or Pretoxx?
Oh yeah. It’s one of those weekends alright. The ones where you’re suddenly wondering if those subway ads for hangover prevention are all they’re cracked up to be. Because you KNOW what’s going to happen. You’re going to try to stay mellow, but you’re going to end up raging. Our advice? Just embrace the rising [...]
Rocktober!
October truly is Rocktober here in New York City. After all, hardly anyone leaves town this month, having finally settled into the end of year groove AND the monstrosity CMJ descends on area clubs right smack in the middle of it all. Which means that the smarter garage and punk bands are playing the week [...]
Another horrible Sunday in Brooklyn
At least our street fair has folks selling records… Sunday The 5th Avenue Punk and Underground Record Fair is going on now at Southpaw. Go get ‘em! Now until 6pm, $5 cover. Then this evening, go dance to the sounds of the 50s and 60s, soul, garage, oldies and rarities (mixed with the sounds every [...]
Hey Punk, where you going with that Waffle in your hand?
Photo: “A Holiday in Cambodia”, or “I hate Health Care THIS Much!” What’s up, Scuzz Bags and Bag Ladies? My brain is oozing from a bruising and there’s no time for niceties. We’re powering through these days towards the weekend to come. So let’s just dive into this, shall we my dear? Tonight, aka WEDNESDAY [...]
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: something to do (yay!)
This is why we do not mix music and football. Sunday I’m sure that some of you know that tonight is Superbowl XLIV. I knew that without looking up the number, thank you*. But here at GaragePunkNYC we don’t officially care. We would, however, like to point out a few things: The Superbowl should be [...]
Go, Go, Go-Go!
OK! it’s on! No more slow weekends from here on out. Instead, incredibly over-booked weekends packed with too many options to count (just try it). TONIGHT (FRIDAY): Maybe a mellow start to your night with an acoustic Georgiana Starlington at Williamsburg’s Live with Animals gallery (and some other groops we don’t know) $6–OR–A rude awakening [...]
Just mentally edit out the ice and snow.
The charming young men of Wellington Ladies’ Welfare Leagueheadline at Don Pedro on Thursday.Don’t they look warm? Monday DJ Knifefight spins all “pre-Beatles” rock-n-roll at Art Land Bar. No cover, free heated pool (you wish… free billiards), starts at 10. Tuesday Well now here’s something a little different. Over at Goodbye Blue Monday in Brooklyn, [...]
