Throbbing Gristle Finally Coming to NYC
Throbbing Gristle, Britain’s most famous industrial rockers who defined a genre in the late 70s, are coming to the US for a short tour for the first time since 1981. The band broke up in 1981 and reformed in 2004 but did not come to the US. Crazily enough, the band has NEVER been to New York or even to the East Coast! So…this is pretty huge.
They will be at Brooklyn Masonic Temple on April 16. $35 tickets are on… More »

Yeasayer and Man Man at Brooklyn Masonic
Two stellar bands played the ornate Brooklyn Masonic Temple on Friday night: Brooklyn locals Yeasayer and Philly’s extravagant Man Man.
Yeasayer are a tight, pulsating band that easily got the crowd pumped up. They played excellent songs like “2080″ and “Sunrise.”
Man Man came out in full mustachioed force to rock the room. Playing songs from new album Rabbit Habit as well as Six Demon Bag, they kept the energy up. The songs from the new album are a bit smoother and… More »

Balkan Beat Box Played at Masonic Temple
Thursday night saw a Israel-gypsy-funky party at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple. Openers Chin Chin got the energy up with their horn section and dancers on stilts that jiggled their way through the audience.
The Temple is a great place to see a show. Similar to the Warsaw, it is a beautiful old building with ornate chandeliers and ceiling work with a large open room with a stage. The Temple even has a balcony with ancient wooden fold-down seats.
Balkan Beat Box began… More »
