Howdy ILM New Yorkers -
firstly, an open call for anyone in NYC interested in volunteer work building in the next few months, have rented a little space in Brooklyn and am going to be doing some renovations towards hosting the occasional show / party / whatever. Looking for folks with tools, some knowhow would help, and some time on your hands. Connections to cheap building supplies appreciated too. Anyone with any or none of the above is great too, as long as you want to help, we can use you. This is being done totally DIY. Email me @ [email protected] with BUILD in the subject.

[ CHEESEBURGER ]
Fuck Yeah! Three piece straight oughta Greenpoint, firing off the schlock with miles of smiles on their faces. Rock 'n Roll thunder ala the best minutes of the Stooges or MC5, shirts off sweaty goofy gratification ala Iggy at his stankiest. Awesome! "When Joe Bradley screams "Ahh, every night is Saturday night, awwwwhl-riiiiiight" on "Saturday Nite", or yells "White liiiight, white liiiight, awh baby, let's get hiiiigh" on "Cocaine", it seems just so wrong, but as the cliché goes, it feels so right. This is basic, nonsensically simplistic rock'n'roll stripped of everything but soul, belly-fire and vim. It may well be the stuff of entirely disposable, inconsequential, primordially basic, post-ironic rock'n'roll trash, but to rephrase Eric Schlosser somewhat, there is definitely meat in this shit." -Splendid Ezine. Self titled cd out on Aerodrome Records.

[ BIG BUSINESS ]
Jared, the singer and bass player from KARP and also from THE WHIP, and Cody, the drummer from MURDER CITY DEVILS, tear it up two man style with bass and drums pummeling. "their sound is obviously related to the works of the member's past bands, but also continues to tread into areas yet uncovered in the real of heavy, bass driven, down and dirty, up temp rock n roll craziness." - QuestionableContent.com . Record coming out in January on Hydrahead.
[ KYLESA ]
"Dirty Sludge metal from the crusty depths of the South."
-- MP3 --> http://www.kylesa.com/site/downloads.html
[ DIAMOND NIGHTS ]
these fellas used to be "DIAMONDS" - four piece rock'n'schlock'n'roll suicide. Tommy's will briefly be transformed into Giant's Stadium, opening slot for Ted Nugent, 1974. Rocks. Licks galore. Request "Mess Around" and you'll be humming it all week long. Full length coming out on Kemado Records
-- MP3 --> http://www.kemado.com/media/audio/thegirlsattractive.mp3
-- LOOK AT THEM --> http://www.diamond-nights.com/see.html
[ COP ON FIRE ]
COP ON FIRE is a new double drummed insanity rush from Joel (x PARTS AND LABOR), Oran (x X27, current CHILD ABUSE), Robert Paredez (Young Sinners) and friends. See Robert screaming, wreathing, and tangled up in microphone cables at your feet.
[ PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ ]
It ain't Paco. Big BJ Rubin (x Ferrari Testarossa) & Kevin The Shea (x Storm & Stress, current Coptic Light, etc) play the standards. Sometimes dudes take their shirts off, be warned. drums and vocals and that's it. Don't try to play pool while they're playing.
