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.
Le Weekender
There are weekends and there are weekenders. These are the kinds of nights that all true warriors strive for. These are the nights we throw in the faces of haters and fakers who dare to tell you rock and roll, nay, that even FUN itself, is dead in New York City.
Fall Back!
Hope you’ve got your bearings about you, what after the month of insanity that gave us CMJ (Country Music Jammers?), a cosmically insane Halloween weekend (I heard ALL the stories, matey), midterm exams, the squash harvest, cider shingles, crack tastings and and all the other assorted stupid that October means to you and me…
Well, you’d best LIVER UP! This weekend Daylight Savings Time ENDS at 2am on Sunday morning. That means one whole extra hour of drinky poo! A multitude of fun awaits you out on the streets, and when you get home The Gin Fairy will leave a dollar bill and remorse under your pillow while you sleep!
I Got Them Ole’ Ice Cream Truck Delirium Tremors Again, Mama
Ruminating on crazy JetBlue guy and this oppressive heat wave that’s got the entire planet in a camel clutch, I was thinking about what needs to happen to make this summer even more awesome/batshit loony than it’s already been: Some guy behind an ice cream truck, who just can’t take it anymore…
Sunday Has Already Started
It’s real hard to find photos of these guys to rip off when I can’t read the links of their webpage. I’m late, so this is gonna go quick. Sunday Right now-as-in-4pm-now the Psychobilly vs. Punk BBQ is starting up at Public Assembly. We know the “Punk” side includes the 45 Adapters. Who else? Who [...]
As an alternative to listening to Christmas carols all week…
The Specific Heats bring their garage-psych sound andtheir Thanksgiving dinner to Bruar Falls on Tuesdaybecause even poultry deserves its 15 minutes of fame. Monday Glad All Over! hosts a show at Bowery Electric featuring the (cheese-inspired?) heavy rock of Humboldt Fog and the crunchy-like-a-cracker psych-rock of Whooping Crane, with DJ Lupe Loop spinning the platters. [...]
Stress release time.
It is just me or has this month been really stressful? I don’t just mean work and personal life stuff, I mean the music has been extra loud and crazy. The Brimstones yesterday, the show at Don Pedro the Saturday before, the show at Don Pedro the Saturday before that, the last few Jadewalkers shows… [...]
Here Comes The Sun!
The Black Hollies deck the Bell House Friday. Ok it’s rained all week but the weekend is here and in case you don’t work on Saturdays (you lucky so and so), there’s goodly amounts of stuff to do. Starting early TONIGHT, we’ve got the Black Hollies opening (can this be?) a show at Brooklyn’s Bell [...]
Start The Week With Two Bangs
Get ready to be invaded by foreign bands. I see that Mr. Eastwood is ready. Sunday Yeah, we already did Sunday, but this particular Sunday is hot enough to do twice. If you haven’t caught King Khan and The Shrines yet, they’ll be at Santos Party House tonight with Mark Sultan (performing as a 3-piece), [...]
