Tonight: The Drums @ Mercury Lounge; Dirty Fences @ Don Pedro's

I'm still pissed at The Drums for cancelling last minute on two shows I was involved with back when they first started getting popular (not cool bros). That said, they're a good band you should try and see at some point ($15 cover tonight). But if sunny, surfer music isn't your speed you can head to Don Pedro's for one of the best down and dirty rock n' roll bands in NYC, Dirty Fences (FREE SHOW).

Tonight: The Sounds Of Kaleidoscope @ Trash Bar; The Drums & Surfer Blood @ Bowery; Ninjasonik @ Webster

So yeah, The Drums and Surfer Blood are playing together at Bowery Ballroom. I'm avoiding that show like the plague. It's going to be indie nerd blogger fuck fest at that thing. Ninjasonik is playing at The Studio at Webster Hall which is cool and should be fun. But I'm going to be at Trash Bar to see The Sounds Of Kaleidoscope because they're bad ass rock n' roll. If you haven't checked them out yet you should. They're from Philly and played one of the first ever Brooklyn Ski Club shows. I think the cover is $8 but Trash Bar always has an open bar or some shit right so it's well worth it?

Brooklyn Ski Club Shows (The Drums, Young Lords, Sundelles, Gunfight, & More)

I just wanted to let you all know about the next couple of Brooklyn Ski Club shows. The first is at Crash Mansion this Friday. It's a NY Underbelly show that BSC curated. The lineup is pretty awesome, if I do say so myself - Young Lords, Hank & Cupcakes, Gunfight, and Cinema Cinema! Yeah, that's for reals yo. I'm going to probably get some killer DJ added to keep you dancing between bands.

The other show is the following Friday. My homeboys in Raccoon Fighter put the whole thing together and my other homeboys, Radio America, are playing too. I offered some advice along the way but didn't curate it. That said I am sponsoring it so while it's not a BSC show per se it kinda is. The lineup is again quite awesome - The Drums, Raccoon Fighter, The Sundelles, and Radio America. There is a catch though, it's the early show. So go straight from work, suck down some free Colt 45 from 7-8PM. Stick around for the bands and then go do your thing after, should be over by 10:30PM. It's the perfect way to start your night.
