Last night was another in a hopefully long line of Vice / Scion AV Club Garage parties at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, featuring the garage barrage of Hunx and His Punx opening for the legendary Kid Congo Powers who was backed by The Pink Monkey Birds. This wasn’t any ordinary [...]

Last night, Bruar Falls threw a birthday party for The Men’s bassist Chris and hosted a series of bands for the occasion. My love of The Men’s Immaculada should be well known by now, but their habit of putting all of their music online for free has given me a deeper [...]

While the weather was not one hundred percent cooperative, alternating light sprinkles and heavy humidity, the day was still pretty good, showing an evolution in [...]

Gordon Voidwell was performing and I was curious to see how things were looking for the former four piece turned three piece when Jamie Lidell snatched Guillermo E. Brown to be a part of his band. With [...]

Let’s [...]
Category : Show Review June 26th, 2010 by Eric RexFrom a logistical standpoint, last night was a bit of a bust. We had planned on hitting Shea Stadium to see Shilpa Ray perform a solo set then head out and catch MEN at The Knitting Factory but it didn’t go according to plan.

From last night’s many offerings, from Wavves and DOM at the Knitting Factory to ?uestlove DJing at Brooklyn Bowl to My Teenage Stride at The Charleston, we choose to cover MeanRed’s Crush Fest, a multi-genre, [...]
