As most of you have probably already heard, our town’s own DJ extraordinaire and nightlife mainstay Jonathan Toubin was the victim of an absolute freak accident, having been seriously injured when an out of control taxi cab plowed through the wall of the hotel he was staying in in Portland OR where he was on [...]
Your Big Fat Overstuffed Hyper Sexy Rock and Roll Weekender
I don’t know how we got to the last week of June already, but…just look at this…look how much is going down just tonight. There’s so much going on that a lesser (wo)man could hurt themselves if they got too ambitious. Hope you’ve taken your vitamins. Let’s not waste any time… Friday June 24th The [...]
Have You Ever Danced With a Satyr in the Pale Neon Light?
AWOOOOOOOGA! It’s officially the first all the way through nice weekend in this god forsaken city! So you know what that means: STRIP NAKED AND RUN WILD IN THE STREETS INCITING TERROR! With flowers in your hair, of course…
Karma Carnal Carnival
You don’t normally get the full on experience of it here in the northeast, but almost everywhere else in the world is barreling through a week long rager that ends on (fat) Tuesday…it’s CARNIVAL time! From Rio to Tobago, from Milan to Barcelona to my sweet Crescent City, it’s basically New Years Eve and Halloween rolled up into an 8-ball and mainlined into the fun gland of your cortex! People are getting dressed up like lunatics, drinking during daylight hours, and promenading down their respective boulevards like peacocks in love. Oh, something about Jesus is in there too, I understand… but didn’t de LAWD drink de WINE? Of course he did, you silly heathen.
Popsicles and Icicles
What’s the word, Snowbunnies and Sasquatches!? Another weekend filled with ways to warm yer cockles and and show the plebes how to look good bundled up (work it!) presents itself for our amusement and mutually assured destruction! Shall we? Lets.
Jive As…a Turkey. Stuffed as a Boar.
Thanksgiving in NYC is so COOOOOOL because the city turns abandoned and quiet like Zombieland and you can do what you WANT! Gather up all your ex-pat friends, your Thanksgiving orphans and your too-broke-for-Amtrak brethren, throw open the doors of your hearth and have yourself a FEAST for FREAKS! Roasted turkey with Four-Loko glaze and instant magic mushroom potatoes, anyone?
The Weekend Where Only Eagles Dare
School is back! Reruns are over! Turkeys be buggin’ out! The Great Pumpkin be rising from his grave, yo! We are firmly in the month of September and all the promises of fall, and it shows by the ABUNDANCE, nay, the PLETHORA, even, of things to do for discriminating rockers and boppers this weekend! No time for hyperbole, lets dive into the madness, shall we? Lets.
Rough weekend?
One of those showstonight at Monster Island. Sunday If you’re beaten and bruised from the show at The Church yesterday and you want more then get yourself over to Monster Island tonight. It’s a punk and hard rock monster bill with Lamps, Pop.1280, Golden Error, possibly the K-Holes, and more*. Think of it as physical [...]
Wet Tshirt Season Arrives in Subtropical New York
Happy Fourth of July! From now on, New York’s Summers will be like South Texas’ – sudden thundershowers in the middle of the day (every day) and the humidity will never go away! Unlike South Texas however, we’ve got a fair amount to do at night (besides throwing molotov cocktails at oil refineries or putting [...]
