Title: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 (And Looking Forward To 2011 As Well) Post by: isfet on August 22, 2009, 11:15:28 AM MY SUBJECT
SO POETIC ok, i dunno, i thought we had a topic for concerts but maybe that disappeared and was never recreated? if there is one and i can't find it for some reason, then someone feel free to merge this post with the other. anyway, here are some shows i THINK people here might wanna see: Sunday August 30th -AFTERNOON- @ 979 BROADWAY BACKYARD :: LIGHTNING BOLT :::: Teeth Mountain :::::: Talk Normal :::::::: Hot Box | 979 BROADWAY BACKYARD | 979 Broadway btwn Myrtle Ave & Ditmars St | Bushwick, Brooklyn JMZ-Myrtle, L-Jefferson, G-Myrtle-Willoughby | DOORS --3PM-- | $12 | all ages RAIN OR SHINE seriously, all of you need to come to this. they did it last year and it was awesome and i want all of you at this Lightning Bolt concert or i'm going to be kind of not really bothered but maybe slightly sad. Friday September 25th @ MARKET HOTEL :: WAVVES | MARKET HOTEL | 1142 Myrtle Ave @ Bdwy | Bushwick, Bklyn JMZ-Myrtle, L-Jefferson, G-Myrtle/Willoughby | 8pm | all ages | $tba | MYSPACE |-- http://myspace.com/markethotelnyc Saturday October 31st - HALLOWEEN @ MARKET HOTEL :: MT EERIE ----------- aka the Microphones :::: Liturgy | MARKET HOTEL | 1142 Myrtle Ave @ Bdwy | Bushwick, Bklyn JMZ-Myrtle, L-Jefferson, G-Myrtle/Willoughby | 8pm | all ages | $tba | MYSPACE |-- http://myspace.com/markethotelnyc Friday November 27th @ MARKET HOTEL :: Fuck Buttons :::: Growing | MARKET HOTEL | 1142 Myrtle Ave @ Bdwy | Bushwick, Bklyn JMZ-Myrtle, L-Jefferson, G-Myrtle/Willoughby | 8pm | all ages | $tba | MYSPACE |-- http://myspace.com/markethotelnyc for anyone unfamiliar with the Market Hotel, it's a small DIY type of venue located in Bushwick/Bed-Stuy (i dunno it's hard to tell on Myrtle-Broadway) right off the JMZ. it's not exactly pretty to look at, but the sound is always good and the venue is just the right size to fit enough people but still be intimate. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: FortNinety on August 22, 2009, 11:18:01 AM So Joe, you're seeing NIN again this week, right? How many times has it been thus far? 8 or 9?
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on August 22, 2009, 11:33:31 AM i honestly have lost count by this point. it easily has to be at least the eighth or ninth time i'm seeing them live. but yea, i'm seeing them on Wednesday. the last last show in NYC. i know no one around here really digs NIN very much (or digs them enough to follow them the way i do), but this is probably going to be a weird show for me.
the main reason for it being the "last" show is apparently financial. with his current business model, Reznor can't really turn the same type of profit (or any) by touring the way he used to. knowing him (in the superficial "i read your interviews" way), i doubt this is really the last tour. i think it'll be the last tour in terms of this grandiose rock band live on stage with flashing lights and smoke and general Rock(tm) absurdity. but i think it would be naive to assume he will never perform live again in some capacity. also considering that he still plans to make music (possibly even under the NIN moniker), i don't see how it can't happen. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: Fitz on August 31, 2009, 05:44:44 PM Anyone want to feel a little icky?
www.musickamysticamaxima.com/ Quote John Zorn and Bill Laswell added to Musicka Mystica Maxima! Confirmed line up includes: * GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE with THEE MAJESTY http://www.myspace.com/theemajesty (featuring Bryin Dall and Morrisson Edley) * Larkin Grimm http://www.myspace.com/larkingrimm * Nautical Almanac http://www.myspace.com/nauticalalmanac * Spires that in the Sunset Rise http://www.myspace.com/spiresthatinthesunsetrise * Amber Asylum/Kris Force http://www.myspace.com/amberasylum * Daniel Higgs http://www.dischord.com/band/danielhiggs * Monica Richards (of Faith & The Muse) http://www.myspace.com/monicarichardsmusic * arrington de dionyso/Old Time Relijun http://www.myspace.com/arringtondedionyso * 4th Sign of the Apocalypse http://www.myspace.com/4thsignoftheapocalypse Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dhex on August 31, 2009, 06:21:08 PM it's a good venue.
larkin grimm has a nice voice. amber asylum is pleasant, if boring. i can take or leave lungfish. two days? dang. zorn and laswell are quality stuff at least. the crowd, i'm sure, will be fantastico. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dmauro on September 01, 2009, 12:10:40 PM Joe, Julia that you met the other night (if you weren't black out drunk that is :P ) is a huge NIN fan. She still carries her school girl crush for Trent Reznor. She was pretty envious to hear you went to both "final" shows.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on September 01, 2009, 12:56:30 PM hah! that's pretty funny; well if i meet her again i'll be sure to discuss fanboyish Trent Reznor data with her.
also, i always feel bad when i meet someone and i'm piss drunk. i have a recollection that i met this girl and that she was a blonde, but really don't recall anything that we talked about or even her name until you mentioned it just now. second impressions are the most important! Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: Fitz on September 03, 2009, 03:28:25 PM two days? dang. zorn and laswell are quality stuff at least. the crowd, i'm sure, will be fantastico. Looks like I'll be going to both nights currently. I'm looking forward to having cringe-worthy conversations with O.T.O. members. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: loopback on September 03, 2009, 06:22:59 PM For the love of whatever, bring a pocket recorder and tape them.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on September 10, 2009, 09:50:19 AM hey, Matt! BrooklynVegan quoted you for the report on the Boredoms show last night.
http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009/09/99_pictures_9_r.html#more as usual, people take issue with your comments! Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dhex on September 10, 2009, 10:19:42 AM the crowd was fine except for that dude with the sports coat and he took himself out of the game with a self-inflicted drinking injury.
that was some damn fine boredoms. almost makes up for the animu. joe: dunno if you saw the flyers but sunn and pelican are playing a show with earth at the brooklyn masonic temple on the 22nd. i'm not going but i know you luv earth. (as any right thinking american would) Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: FortNinety on September 10, 2009, 12:13:11 PM They mostly got on my nerves, and something quick and fierce, when you guys all went for a smoke, when all of a sudden I was surrounded by a ring of jerk-offs who wouldn't shut the fuck up while Lichens was getting starting. It was all "this is soooooo cooooooool man" and "is he the Boredoms?" and "what the fuck is he doing" and "dude, I just got tagged in Facebook, look". Who all somewhat disseminated by the time you all showed up, of course, but hence why I was in such a pissy mod when you found me Mike.
Plus, sports coat dude standing right in front of me, giving me less than half an inch breathing room, despite the fact that my immediate surrounding was hardly dense, I guess is further proof that I simply attract douchebags at any show. As bad as it was at Terminal 5 last night... which honestly wasn't horrible... imagine how it is for me when I got to, say, Union Hall? Which is why I hardly go to live shows anymore. But yeah, last night's performance was fucking awesome. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: scratchmonkey on September 10, 2009, 02:07:50 PM I think I'm gonna try and head over the newly reopened Bay Bridge and catch Health at Bottom of the Hill. Report to follow if I make it.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: pilot on September 10, 2009, 03:17:49 PM How do I totally not remember sport coat guy? Where was I?
(a: boredoms coma) Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: scratchmonkey on September 11, 2009, 08:40:20 PM I think I'm gonna try and head over the newly reopened Bay Bridge and catch Health at Bottom of the Hill. Report to follow if I make it. Hey, I made it. It was a good show, Health is much more of a noise band live than they are on record, with many sections that went closer to grindcore than anything else. Overall there wasn't a lot of differentiation between songs, it was more of a constant meditative throb of noise. Their drummer is amazing. Crowd was very hipster-y. Far more than I've ever seen at any other show. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on September 12, 2009, 09:32:43 AM yea, i saw Health a few months back at a DIY venue not too far from where i live. there live show is definitely a bit more intense and industrial-sounding.
and i assume the hipster-y crowd probably stemmed from their Pitchfork and Crystal Castles connections. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dhex on September 12, 2009, 10:33:30 AM crystal castles are just dreadful.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on September 12, 2009, 10:56:54 AM oh pish posh.
but yea, they rank pretty low on my "level of interest" list these days after that ridiculous ordeal that Matt and i went through when we tried to see them a while back. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dhex on September 12, 2009, 11:14:01 AM pish posh nothing they're terrible.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: Fitz on October 01, 2009, 02:23:54 PM This should be awful...
http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=100000228126773&share_id=170897940469&comments=1 Quote PROCESS MEDIA, FERAL HOUSE, AND S@1 present OCCULT USA: THE PROCESS CHURCH OF THE FINAL JUDGMENT RITUAL AND SALON at Anthology Film Archives, New York City *ONE NIGHT ONLY* Featuring Genesis Breyer P-Orridge as the "Sacrifist," Timothy Wyllie, Adam Parfrey, and The Sabbath Assembly band performing original Process Church songs Was The Process Church truly "one of the most dangerous Satanic cults in America"? Or were they an intensely creative apocalyptic shadow side to the flower-powered '60s and New Age '70s? Scores of black-cloaked devotees swept the streets of New York, San Francisco, London, Paris, and other cities selling magazines with titles like Sex, Fear, Love and Death, and a controversial theology proposing a reconciliation of Christ and Satan through awareness and love. Marianne Faithfull, George Clinton and Mick Jagger participated in Process publications, and Funkadelic reproduced Process material in two of their albums. The inside story of this legendary group has at last emerged with Feral House's LOVE SEX FEAR DEATH by Timothy Wyllie and other former members. TONIGHT, to celebrate the recent release of LOVE SEX FEAR DEATH, Feral House, Process Media, and Sound@One present a simulation of an actual Process Church “Sabbath Assembly” ritual, featuring Genesis Breyer P-Orridge as the "Sacrifist." Author Wyllie (Father Micah) will follow to discuss the cult and his time within it in a multimedia presentation. THE SABBATH ASSEMBLY BAND, comprised of Robert A. Lowe (Lichens), Kyle Forrester (Crystal Stilts), Jex Thoth (I Hate Records), Laura Leontine, Sophie Gonthier (Anything Maria), and David Christian (of No-Neck Blues Band), will perform Process hymns and songs throughout.

so, some more show updates! according to Market Hotel's website as well as Todd P's, it appears that Fuck Buttons is no longer playing there late in November. it now simply says "TBA." this either means that...maybe that want to hide it? or, i assume, the show is canceled. either way, Fuck Buttons are playing November 2nd (very soon!) at the Bowery Ballroom. tix are $15, which is pretty reasonable for what will probably be a very good show. wanna hit this up Mike? i know it's almost THAT TIME, but i assume this show would be more doable than the one that was to happen later in the month. new Todd P show that we need to go to: Friday October 30th @ ABOVE THE AUTO PARTS STORE :: LIGHTNING BOLT :::: TV Ghost | ABOVE THE AUTO PARTS STORE | 600 Bushwick Ave @ Jefferson St | Bushwick, Brooklyn JMZ-Myrtle/Broadway, L-Jefferson | 8pm | $tba | all ages Dave is off the hook this time since he went, but seriously, if you haven't seen Lightning Bolt (or haven't in a while) i'm requiring you to come to this show. lastly: Melt Banana is playing Bowery Ballroom on November 23rd. tix are $15. not really familiar with these guys, but i assume i should be and also assume i'd like them. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dhex on October 19, 2009, 12:33:33 PM i'd go to see fb again, but i can't risk it.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on October 19, 2009, 12:37:33 PM yea, thinking about it after i posted, i figured it's probably way too close at this point. well, anyway, i'll let you know how the new stuff sounds. kind of disappointed that the Market Hotel show is probably a no go, though, as i really think that's probably my favorite venue overall.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dmauro on October 19, 2009, 01:46:05 PM (Re: Health) and i assume the hipster-y crowd probably stemmed from their Pitchfork and Crystal Castles connections. Crowd was very hipster-y. Far more than I've ever seen at any other show. Besides you guys, I've only heard young NYU hipsters talking about Health while dissing Crystal Castles. I think that might be a big part of their fanbase :? Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: FortNinety on October 19, 2009, 01:48:15 PM Maybe this isn't the right place to mention this, but Toups is in town this week with his band, for CMJ. He wants me to check him out, at least, and I'm assuming the invite is extended to the rest of us.
Haven't followed up with the guy just yet... to be honest, this week is kinda bad for me, but you never know. He's a nice enough guy, SB aside. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dhex on October 19, 2009, 01:52:26 PM toups' band is good stuff, if you like southern rock with a dash of woo ha. like comets on fire but not shitty.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: FortNinety on October 19, 2009, 02:23:40 PM So, are you going Mike?
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dhex on October 19, 2009, 04:16:13 PM nope! i'm not going anywhere this close to d-day.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on October 21, 2009, 09:22:40 AM a new challenger appears!
so November 2, at Santos Party House, Green Jelly (aka Green Jello [yea, really, those guys]) will be playing a reunion show. now, for the record, i'm not super into them, but the novelty of such a show definitely intrigues me. unfortunately it's the same night as Fuck Buttons. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dhex on October 21, 2009, 09:59:40 AM i would pick fuck buttons over those guys by a mile.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: FortNinety on October 21, 2009, 10:03:13 AM Sorry, but I'm seriously tempted to see Green Jelly. Just so I can tell my kids.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on October 21, 2009, 05:43:20 PM oh holy shit
so Black Dice just got added to the bill of the Oct 30th Lightning Bolt show. Come oooooonnnn. Y'all gotta come now Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: FortNinety on November 25, 2009, 09:34:40 AM Saw Boom Boom Satellites last night. Took Joe with me, figuring that he'd have a grand old time. Unfortunately, the two opening acts were by far the worst in the history of music and audio in general. The first band was just generic pop punk bullshit, which paled in comparison to the offensiveness to the piece of shit Staten Island guido that stunk up the stage afterwards, who simply lazily rapped over Garageband loops. Cuz nothing screams musician more than some asshole whose face is perpetually buried in an iBook.
Dude was so bad that Joe had to bail, and I can't blame him. Thankfully Boom Boom made the wait worthwhile, because they were pretty awesome. They played a decent mix of old and new (most folks can't stand the new stuff, and I can't blame them, but I don't passionately hate it either). It also finally dawned on me that I kinda have a thing for tiny, demure Japanese girls who can fucking drum like the devil. I know have to go back and figure out if all those songs which I thought featured drum machines was just this woman. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dark steve on November 25, 2009, 10:05:56 AM it dawned on you that there's blood in your veins?
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: dmauro on November 25, 2009, 10:34:27 AM Oh shit, Fort90 crushing on asian girls uitb.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on November 25, 2009, 01:04:15 PM update: the Fuck Buttons show@ Market Hotel on Friday is apparently still going on. this makes me happy because 1) they're awesome 2) i missed their last show in NYC.
Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on December 01, 2009, 12:26:13 PM Fuck Buttons tore shit up. in a way i'm happy i missed the Bowery show and went to this one.
so not really a show so much as a party, but apparently every Saturday for the next few weeks, some guy called "Mr. Saturday Night" is hosting parties at Market Hotel. and, apparently, open beer bar between 10-11pm? this sounds like something that might be fun. Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on December 04, 2009, 09:40:45 AM "help Michael Yaniro of Twin Stumps recover from attack - benefit show Friday (Pink Reason, Sightings, more)"
Quote As you all may or may not know, a dear friend of mine named Michael Yaniro was a victim of violent robbery in the Ridgewood area of Queens (NYC). He was savagely beaten beyond recognition, and now he's got a long road ahead of him with many surgeries. To add insult to his injuries, he has no medical insurance! A brief description of his injuries: His right eye socket needs surgery as there is a bone protruding into it... so it needs to be repaired to restore his ability to move the eye. (He has had this surgery, and will need more work in the future). He has a fractured jaw and nose which will require surgery to repair, as well as multiple broken bones in his face. Pieces of titanium metal is to be inserted in his face to support the bones. His girlfriend Abby is trying to get him Emergency Medicaid, but that is really tough to get approved, and its doubtful whether or not it will be rewarded. That is why this fundraiser was started. Its not registered as non-profit organization (so if you're looking for a tax break, this is not the time and place for it), but as a way to possibly raise a little money to help him through his crisis. that really sucks. and to be honest, i haven't heard stuff like this in Ridgewood very often, so i'm really curious to know the details of the assault. anyway, i plan to go to this for a number of reasons, but one of them has to do with the bands: "The latest show is scheduled for Dec 4th (Friday) at Death By Audio, where Pink Reason, Sightings, York Factory Complaint (featuring Genesis P-orridge), and White Suns are all on the bill. " anyone else wanna hear some tunes tonight? videos of bands here: http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2009/12/help_michael_ya.html Title: Re: Shows in the Twilight of '09 Post by: isfet on January 11, 2010, 09:31:05 AM so, as he indicated a few months ago, Swans are indeed getting back together for an album and some shows.
http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2010/01/michael_gira_re.html hopefully more info will be available soon Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: dhex on January 11, 2010, 11:08:56 AM hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
is swans minus jarboe swans? (maybe?) Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: isfet on January 11, 2010, 12:56:48 PM hard to say, really.
regardless of what we call it, though, Gira does really great live shows, so i'll see whatever the heck he does. Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: Fitz on January 11, 2010, 04:24:33 PM She wasn't there the whole time, but yeah, it is kind of a question.
I wonder if she'll do any contributions to the final album. Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: Fitz on January 13, 2010, 08:44:03 PM Planning on trying to hit the 9:00 PM session if anyone is interested.

Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: FortNinety on January 20, 2010, 03:53:08 PM So Killing Joke is playing again, at Irving Plaza, this May! Anyone else game this time?
Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: isfet on January 25, 2010, 09:52:59 AM http://lepoissonrouge.com/events/view/816
James Blackshaw! tomorrow night! Le Poisson Rouge! just found out about this today, but i think i'm going to try to go. for those unfamiliar with him, he's pretty much an incredible 12-string guitar player who makes really pretty music. Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: liz on January 27, 2010, 05:01:47 PM How was the show? I love the Glass Bead Game? If this was a year ago, I definitely would have been there.
Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: isfet on January 31, 2010, 12:13:24 PM unfortunately, i didn't actually make it out to see Blackshaw that night. hopefully he'll come around again at some point.
Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: isfet on February 10, 2010, 07:07:07 PM just found out that Tim Hecker is playing in NYC tonight at Le Poisson Rouge
if i knew 100% that i had no school tomorrow, then this might be the perfect weather in which to go see Tim Hecker perform. Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: isfet on April 09, 2010, 08:23:54 AM http://www.1119732.net/

Kenneth Anger. Lou Reed. The pretentious old fuck quotient just on the stage alone makes me want to go. Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: Fitz on May 03, 2010, 12:28:29 PM If being bored by the church you were raised in wasn't enough for you now you can be bored by a bunch of crypto-spermaphagists!
Listen to a rambling liturgy written by a tone deaf junky! See unappealing naked people! Eat baked goods whose ingredients you do not want to know! That's right the Tahuti Lodge of the O.T.O.

so last night at the Peter Gabriel concert, Lou Reed played a cover of Solisbury Hill during the intermission. totally unexpected, but pretty cool! Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: Fitz on May 04, 2010, 01:20:04 PM very...interesting, haha.[/url] Lizards and Thelemites, oh my! It's too bad really. There's a few gems in Crowley's overall output. The O.T.O. remake he did, unfortunately, was not one of them. Quote so last night at the Peter Gabriel concert, Lou Reed played a cover of Solisbury Hill during the intermission. totally unexpected, but pretty cool! Reed seems to be popping up in all sorts of places. He's even doing the Mermaid Parade this year. Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 Post by: FortNinety on May 12, 2010, 02:18:51 AM Was gonna ask if anyone was down for Killing Joke in a few weeks, but just discovered that it's been pushed back till this December. Not too much of a bummer due to being so fucking poor at the moment...

Zion is playing this weekend in Williamsburg and the Bowery. tix still seem to be on sale, so uhh...i dunno if i'm going. anyone have any interest? their last album was pretty meh, but they're great live.

Pretty indifferent about Xiu Xiu...but Merzbow, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Gentle is also playing and judging from what's on their myspace, sounds like they have some potential edit: I won't be going, but for those interested, I found out Shonen Knife will be playing at the Knitting Factory in BK on Tues night - http://bk.knittingfactory.com/event-details/?tfly_event_id=13137 Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 (And Looking Forward To 2011 As Well) Post by: dhex on September 30, 2010, 04:45:08 PM how was merzbow?

Merzbow was really great, he played alongside a (Belgian?) drummer whose name escapes me, which complements his harsh, metal-y style perfectly imo. It was also my first time seeing him so I can't say how it compared to his other live acts. I know he played a 2-set show at Issue Project Room just a few nights before that one, so there was plenty of Merz lovin' to go around. My only complaints was the set wasn't long enough (for me..) and I missed seeing Gentle, argh (only sort of my fault) Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 (And Looking Forward To 2011 As Well) Post by: dhex on October 01, 2010, 01:44:42 PM neat!
fitz: i think sadly the pink dots best days are behind them. dunno if you've heard recent stuff, but it's damn far down the prog wormhole. i'm glad i saw them when ryan moore was drumming for them. Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 (And Looking Forward To 2011 As Well) Post by: dhex on October 03, 2010, 08:26:52 PM 1) anyone got any good pregame suggestions for ft. greene? round the masonic temple would be best. (isn't that always the case?)
2) on sunday you guys should come to coco66 in greenpoint and see me and joe absolutely bomb in front of an audience expecting comedy and fun times rock and roll. Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 (And Looking Forward To 2011 As Well) Post by: NeoRockman on October 03, 2010, 09:45:46 PM I actually live around Clinton Hill... while I don't think I could wholeheartedly recommended any place, Alibi on DeKalb might actually fit your bill if you are just looking for drinks: http://www.yelp.com/biz/alibi-brooklyn
The visit should produce a cheap drink and at least one entertaining story Also some decent food to be had in the area .. Title: Re: Shows in the Year of Our Fnord, 2010 (And Looking Forward To 2011 As Well) Post by: dhex on October 03, 2010, 10:14:24 PM polish cop fighting brew doesn't match well with food (i'm presuming the beer selection will be the same from throbbing gristle) so a cheap beer or four is all i'm looking for. thanks.
