Guaranteed rarity for the East Village in its current state of disrepair. Do attend. Reg Bloor does what she does best as Thætas and Haagenti celebrate the release of their split recording. 7pm doors.

The glowing reviews keep rolling in. How about some praise from “name brand” sources? Sure. The The New York Times called the Marc Edwards/Mick Barr Duo release “The Bowels of Jupiter” “bracing”. Rolling Stone says “their performances push post-Interstellar improv to punishing new extremes”. Grab it from our store and try to hold on.

More tour dates to be announced, along with record release details…LA, if you are not at this show you are blowing it…

…if you wanna celebrate our good pal Jason Sigal’s birthday at this really good show.

You thought that stupid snowstorm could keep Brown Angel out of NYC? Nope. They’re making the trek this Friday to make up the date and play the newly christened Coney Island Baby(formerly Brownies) with The Utter Nots, Marc Edwards/Mick Barr Duo, & Kevin Hufnagel(of goddamn Gorguts) with DJ Sex Chapel(of damn Dälek) btwn bands.

Limited copies of “The Bowels of Jupiter” will be on hand, among other titles.

RSVP here.

In an unexpected turn of events, Avenue A reclaims its role as the home of the heaviest, most adventurous amplified sound in New York City. Join us at Coney Island Baby(formerly Brownies, directly next door to the legendary 171 A) for an SGG showcase of sorts, with Multicult, Gnaw, Stern, & Sally Gates/Trevor Dunn/K. Grohowski.

A night of this magnitude warranted a poster by Patrick Keck, and he delivered, as this show certainly will do.

RSVP here. Tickets on sale now.

Ava Mendoza’s Unnatural Ways(LP forthcoming) are playing with Marc Edwards/Mick Barr Duo(The Bowels of Jupiter available for order), along with Bbigpigg and Thaetas.
