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!
Fall Back!
The Dirty Shames, The Back C.C.s @ Otto’s Shrunken Head on August 25, 2010
Copycat Night at Ottos with The Dirty Shames and The Back C.C.s performing music of The Sonics. For more photos click here.
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. [...]
My shortest post ever.
Whooping Crane covers Sweet at Otto’s this Wednesday. Last week was crazy, next week is CMJ. In between… we’re all sleeping in? This week is extra dead. Dead, buried, forgotten, disinterred and stood up in a museum. A good week to think about your Halloween costume. If we hear about anything else, we will definitely [...]
That Was The Month That Was: Marcus’s Pick
The Brimstones @ Otto’sPhoto by Christophe Lopez-Huici In a month of raucous shows, the single craziest had to be the Midnight Monster Hop last Saturday at Otto’s Shrunken Head. The back room of Otto’s is neither spacious nor well ventilated, and the place was packed by the time The Othermen took the stage. The combination [...]
You cannot read this blog.
A friend of mine tells me that GaragePunkNYC is blocked by the web filtering software at his workplace due to “sexual content”. Yes, really. Personally, I blame Shimmy’s profile photo. For those of you who have all of the necessary permissions and permits to read this blog, hello! I cannot tell you what the weather [...]
Time to kick back and/or let loose.
Doing both at the same time looks kind of stupid, however. FRIDAY If you’re in the mood to let loose tonight, perhaps you should head on down to Don Pedro for a night of rowdy rock-n-roll. Featuring Lubricated Goat (punk with an experimental edge), Shining Path (garage-psych), and Love-Struck (garage, punk, and rockabilly smoothie). Edit: [...]
The end of the week.
Yep, it’s Nobunny’s. Did ya’ miss him on Friday? Well get happy boys and girls, ’cause Nobunny is playing one more show tonight at Death By Audio in Brooklyn. Yes, the show finally appeared on their MySpace page, so it is happening. Also on the bill: Uzi Rash, Prism, Extreme Violence, White Wire. If you [...]
It’s finally time to see what your friends look like under their Winter outfits.
Nothing ends. Nothing ever ends. Not even weekends. MONDAY There won’t be any Winter outfits on display when DJs Captain Heartlock and Professor Z spin Garage and Soul music at the Monday Night Burlesque at Public Assembly. Still reading after that horrible joke, eh? Well good for you, because there’s some really interesting stuff going [...]
CMJ Hell Week – The Conclusion!
LiveFastDie play a non-CMJ house party this weekendIt’s ALMOST over.. the hordes of college kiddies let loose all over town, the iphones and porta-bloggers, stupid cover charges, douchy bouncers and badge whores. It’s almost over. It’s almost over. Just keep repeating… Here’s what there is this weekend. I recommend you steer clear of CMJ BS [...]
