Why do people in New York call grilling barbecue? Heating up hot dogs and hamburgers is grilling. Not barbecue. SUNDAY You have lots of options for today/tonight. In about half an hour the My Endless Summer party will be kicking off at Don Pedro. A lot of shit is going down at this thing, so [...]
This week’s a slow starter
Yeah, I have weekends like that too. Sunday We’ve had a bit of debate over whether to include Deadbolt on our calendar. I think they’re basically a surf-rock band rather than a “psychobilly” band so we should give ‘em a mention. They’re definitely unique and may just be worth checking out at Bowery Electric tonight, [...]
Time to put some thought into your name.
The Netherlands (The Band) at The Knitting Factory.Monday night it’s The Place to The. Sunday Today starts with a big record sale down in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Debbie D of WFMU is moving and needs to get rid of some records (though she’s also open to trades, funny how that works). Our calendar helpfully omitted [...]
This time R’n'R means "Rest and Relaxation"
Concert or hair-stylist convention?Alana Amram and Daddy Long Legsat Southpaw on Tuesday. Time for a little public service announcement: CopyCat is looking for a band to play on April 14th at Otto’s Shrunken Head. It’s their “Tribute to Bubblegum” night. If your band can do a set of about 50% covers of bubblegum pop (the [...]
Weekend ain’t over yet
Yes, I stole this picture of Brownbird Rudy Relic.Check him out at Bowery Electric on Tuesday. Sunday Moving up in the world, local punks German Measles are opening for local more-melodic-and-artsy rockers Vivian Girls at Brooklyn Bowl. That’s a free show ladies and germs, starting at 7pm. Show up early if you want to stand [...]
Sunday is better than Saturday for once
The Box Elders are playing almost every day this week. You can’t avoid them, so just give up and go see ‘em. Photo by elchicodelaleche (really?) Sunday We all thought this weekend would be a little slow because of SXSW. And we were right, until now that is. Tonight begins at 5pm with the Big [...]
Rock around the clock, starting _now_!
Personally I keep records in my car,not the other way around. Sunday The Asbury Lanes Garage Sale and Vinyl Swap is happening… now? OH SHIT, GO NOW! It’s from noon to 5pm, and it’s free. Conveniently scheduled immediately following the Vinyl Swap is a vinyl listening party at the Bell House. The Boogaloo Omnibus, Billy [...]
Hooray for President’s Day!
This is why we do not mix Valentine’s Day and President’s Day. Sunday Apparently someone here at GaragePunkNYC has something against Valentine’s Day, ’cause the calendar is a complete mess. It appears that the Bowery Boys are playing a free show at Otto’s Shrunken Head, a venue which sounds like it needs some Viagra. Okay, [...]
Another scorching week.
I’m referring to themusic of course.I wish my spaceheater worked this well. Monday I believe that this is the first benefit for Haiti we’ve mentioned on GaragePunkNYC: Fresh Kills, Cerebral Ballzy and more perform at The Woods in Williamsburg. There is a $10 minimum donation which goes to the BSVAC Haiti rescue effort (I dare [...]
It’s still January, dammit.
The Reverend Vince Andersonon St. Patrick’s Day?Maybe, but he’s definitelyon Monday at Union Pool. Monday The Rev. Vince Anderson and His Love Choir continue their Monday evening residency tonight at Union Pool. The show starts at 11pm and there is no cover. Tuesday Netflix or… Hot Dog! at Bar Matchless, featuring DJs spinning Rock-n-Roll, 50′s [...]
