KYP MALONE
by Jonathan
Williamsburg townie, father, and possessor of one of the most distinctive hair styles in the tri-state area, and accomplished singer/songwriter to boot, Kyp Malone is best known for his adventurous guitar work with TV on the Radio. Tonight Kyp joins us in the booth to play an eclectic mix of esoteric sounds that transcend both time and space… If you’re appreciative, and he’s feeling generous, Kyp may just share the key to an entirely different dimension with you. You never can tell… More »
Local man-about-town Micki Pellerano is debuting his new experimental occultist film Hermatic Trilogy tonight. To celebrate, the NYNT DJ’s’ve pulled songs about witches, spells, black masses, mojo hands, black cats, and, of course, the giant canon of works about the man downstairs himself. We’ve enlisted the help of Pete from one of the finer 21st Century metal bands, Early Man, to be our Virgil - leading us through mountain of metalic portraits of everyone’s favorite fallen angel. 
The gigantic tone of Kid Congo Powers’ open-tuned guitar is one of the more readily identifiable sounds in the history of underground rock. Best known for his contribution to the development of the contemporary ambient, noise, and rock guitar with The Gun Club, The Cramps, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in the 1980s, Kid�s spent the last fifteen years as a sideman (Make-Up, Mark Eitzel, Angels of Light, etc.), as a partner in Congo Norvell and Kid and Khan, 
My distinguished guest DJs tonight are two of Australia’s finest exports to the New York music scene. Soulful baritone saxophonist Paula Henderson, who currently leads the legendary downtown trio Moisturizer and her solo project Secretary, is also a member or Reverend Vince Anderson’s Love Choir, Gregory Tate’s Burnt Sugar Arkestra, and moonlights with everybody and their mamas. She used to also play with James Chance and the Contortions, Tadanosion, Gogol Bordello, The Vanity Set, 
Nick Zinner, who is of course the guitar stylist best known for his trademark hair-raising sonic sophistication in Yeah Yeah Yeahs as well as Head Wound City, Bright Eyes, Challenge of the Future, Unitard, etc., and his soulful and often conceptual photography, has found time to also excel at rocking the people from behind dusty and rusty turntables throughout the greater downtown area. Tonight he will be reunited with his old friend, lover, and collaborator Zach Lipez 
In Japan the hand can be used as a knife but will it work on this watermelon? Ashville, NC transplant Curtis Brown is the outlaw leader of greasy Brooklyn rock starz Bad Wizard. Tonight he is being paired with his regular tennis opponent Jeff Jensen, formerly of the legendary Low Down Dirty D.A.W.G.S., and, of late, the golden throat behind romantic prettyboy goth duo, The Jewish. Jensen also has a crank call album coming out on Matador next year. Tonight’s rare glimpse into what lies beneath the luxurious veneer of two enigmatic figures marks the first ever public display of the best minds of our generation’s unique theological, socio-economic, and phylogenial perspective on everyone’s favorite holiday… A sonic/cultural volley of this magnitude has never been experienced by the civilized world. 
Welcome local heroes Vietnam back home with the eclectic party selections of thr band’s Ivan Sunshine and surprise guests. For those of you not familiar, Vietnam are a local Williamsburg institution that currently records for both the Kemado and Social Registry labels. The post-Velvet downer rock of the era when the band recorded for Vice has gradually morphed into the dark elegent classicism that appears on both their recent twelve-inches and their upcoming full-length debut. 
Gibby Haynes, a massive cultural force who should require no introduction, is of course the leader of one of the most compelling bands EVER, The Butthole Surfers. In addition to his solo project Gibby Haynes and His Problem and his electro group The Jack Officers, he’s has collaborated with everyone from Ministry to Moby to Johnny Depp. Tonight the king of contemporary Texas psychedelia will blow your mind with the trippiest music ever made.
