The Rock N' Roll Circus

I'm not really sure where to begin here. Basically a bunch of bands are playing the Big Apple Circus tent. It's a two day event and the first night is free. Night one includes Japanther, The Pharmacy, Voxhaul Broadcast, The So So Glos and Electric Tickle Machine. Night two, which is not free, features OK Go, Amazing Baby, Saint Hotel and Nick Zinner. There are also tons of sponsors involved who may or may not be dishing out free booze and food. They don't specify any freebies but it seems to be alluded to.

Rock N' Roll Circus Details

Picking up where the best of 1968's legendary rock superstars left off, the all-new ROCK & ROLL CIRCUS is a cutting-edge marriage of the best of circus spectacle with today's top musicians, creating a multisensory, explosive experience unlike any other live event available today. One of the longest running and top cruelty-free circuses, Big Apple Circus, recently featured in PBS' "Circus" documentary, will be hosting the event at Lincoln Center in the 40,000 square foot tents (used previously by New York Fashion Week). The spectacle is a rare event that brings unity to the progressive music community. Set for January 3rd and 4th - doors will open at 7pm and the show will start at 8pm on both days.

New Video From OK Go, "White Knuckles"

OK Go has a new video and while I'm not a huge fan of their music, the dudes know how to make a video. This one isn't nearly as spectacular as past ones but hey, it's got little dogs in it so the chicks are going to love it. That's all that matters now, isn't it.

Free Tickets To OK GO + We Saw Black Lips On Thursday 4/29

Last Thursday I was at the old office in Union Square worrying about whether or not I'd be able to get into the free Black Lips show at Knitting Factory later that night. I was so worried in fact I cut out a little early just so I could go home and get changed before the show (I had a meeting earlier and was dressed kinda spiffy).

I left my office and hauled ass to the L train at 14th Street. It was about 5:30 or 6pm at this point, the height of rush hour. I walk down to the crowded platform and towards the end of the train. On the huge map I spot a white envelope with writing on it. I'm a curious bloke so I walk over to see what we've got. On the envelope in black ink I read:

Free tix to OK GO! (Sold Out Show) tonight...I can't go. You go, OK go! Please take if you're going to show. DO NOT RESELL - Cheers 

On the back it also said, "Good Karma. I [heart] Brooklyn." By now at least 50 people must have seen this envelope but thanks to Giuliani's many years of scaring the living shit out of people no one touched it. Surely, it must be Anthrax or something, right? But fuck it, I'll bite.

I grabbed the envelope and held it up to the light - looks like tix to me. I opened the envelope and there they were, sure as shit, four tickets to OK GO. I would be lying if I said I didn't
