What a night
for offbeat late night shows at unusual venues….
The first
and earliest event consists of two of Brooklyn’s most consistently
unpredictable acts, Black
Dice and Oneida.
While neither of these spectacular trios (both former quartets)
require an introduction to readers of this zine, the venue, however,
does: Studio B, formerly the Polish hotspots Pulse Nightclub., Klub
Ice, and Klub Hypnotik, with the fabled trapezoidal door, is located
at at 259 Banker St. Click
for directions. Or got to Todd
P's site for more info. DJs curated by Justine D and
Dan Selzer spin until late. Speaking of which….
The second show, courtesy of by Casey of
Ultra Productions, consists of Matador’s The
Double, the very rocking Blood
on the Wall, the very talented Damon
McMahon (of Inouk, with a new solo album on Astralwerks),
and a slew of DJ’s. Getting going fairly early, they plan
on rocking the party until long past the crack of dawn. It takes
place at 3rd
Ward, a gigantic performance space in East Williamsburg
off of the Grand stop at 195 Morgan Ave.
The biggest
surprise of all though is the no-longer-so-secret last-minute show
by Flipper
in the basement of Club Midway. You
can go here to read why I think Flipper is one of the
more important bands of the 1980s. And I can’t think of a
better atmosphere to see ‘em than a basement in the middle
of the night… Except for an East Williamsburg warehouse of
course… The newish
Club Midway is on Avenue B between 2nd and 3rd, the
site of the former Scenic.
Finally, while
nowhere funky, but at the old standby Mercury Lounge, but still
worthy of mention is LA’s Red
Sparowes, a cinematic instrumental band featuring Neurosis’
projectionist, Angel Hair’s guitarist, Pleasure Forever’s
drummer, and, for this tour only, Trevor de Brauw of Pelican.
