Tonight: Benefit Party For Jessie Lee

Porn star and Burning Angel, Jessie Lee, was recently in a really bad car wreck. The story, from what I've gathered, is that she does not have insurance and needs to raise money to pay the bills. Her photographer friends and Burning Angel are throwing an art show fundraiser at Beauty Bar tonight to help her out. Go get drunk and look at photos of naked girls...for charity.

The Two Tears Playing Beauty Bar Tonight + MP3 (Free Download)

I got an email about The Two Tears about a week ago and have been meaning to write something up about them. Today seemed like a good time for a post since they're playing at Beauty Bar Brooklyn tonight. The Two Tears play really well done garage rock. There are so many fucking garage rock bands these days it's almost impossible to stand out but this band manages to make a splash. I haven't seen them live but with tunes like this it just has to be a good time.

 The Two Tears - Eat People

The Two Tears, featuring KERRY DAVIS on guitar and vocals, Ryan Spoto (Des Roar) on bass and Justin Ennis (Mutilation Rites) on drums, combines pop influences and clever lyricism with elements that come straight from the garage. Davis started out in 90's LA girl group the RED AUNTS, who boasted producer credits by BRETT GUREWITZ and the much revered MICK COLLINS of GORIES and DIRTBOMBS fame. She went on to join Collins as drummer in the Screws (In The Red Records) and played in Beehive and theBarracudas (Flapping Jet, Swami), which feature San Diego's finest musicians, including former members of the Rocket from The Crypt and Hot Snakes.

Tonight: NC-17, Ether, Steam Machine, Bowie Bash

My night starts at 9PM, Lit. A's Rage, which is a dude from my hometown, will be kicking off NC-17 with a live performance. Then there's 3 other awesome parties, luckily 2 of those parties are at the same joint - Happy Endings. So I have no plan for getting around tonight. I might stay at Lit or I might hit them all. Either way I'll be drinking heavily.

***Bonus: Open bar from 8-10 at CBGBs (or whatever they're calling 315 Bowery)
