Gilbert Ng joined us for a photo session several weeks ago, in preparation for the forthcoming release of our first album, pastpresentfuture. Gil is an amazing photographer who shoots and develops real film. This image was taken on the rooftop of our DIY music space, The Yolk.
Tonight’s the night at legendary Lower East Side bar Arlene’s Grocery, one of the better-sounding venues in New York. HERE goes on at 10pm, followed by one of our favorite local bands, Bad Guy (11pm). FYI, it’s Bad Guy’s album release party and their final show — don’t miss it! This will also be your first chance to advance reserve a limited edition copy of our forthcoming EP, pastpresentfuture — only available at live performances.

I know you have 10 bucks. I know your plans aren’t better than this. Don’t be a square! Go to the show!
They all would’ve been killed in The Sound of Music. They would’ve found out that Pinocchio could never tell the truth. And she wouldn’t make it to shore, the little mermaid. He would’ve married a whore from a wealthy family… And Cinderella would have scrubbed those floors til her hands grew old and tired And nobody would look away…
I blame you Hollywood, for showing me things you never should Show a young girl, in this cruel world.
—Angus & Julia Stone, “Hollywood” from A Book Like This
Hi folks, a show just materialized at The Yolk for tomorrow night. I know you’re thinking this is ridiculously short notice, to which I respond by quoting Russian President Karpov from vastly underrated international crime thriller The Saint: “I proudly admit it!”
I really am proud — it’s an awesome lineup that runs the gamut from math jazz to soothing folk:
Redwing Blackbird Soothing folk — seriously, it’s like invisible hands are rubbing those tired shoulders. (website) Kevin Barker Folk with a twang. Traverses delicate whimsy and aching depth. (website) Noxious Foxes Mid-fi prog math rock with a splash of jazz. Dreamy yet driving. (website)
Doors at 8pm, Noxious Foxes go on at 9, and away we go from there. If you have questions, reach on out. yolknyc@gmail.com
Come warm up for Halloween by joining us on October 29th as we play to benefit Farm Sanctuary, an organization which does truly amazing work towards animal welfare, advocacy, and legislative efforts. We’ll be sharing the stage with Debra from Devi and Athena Reich.
:: ROCKIN’ OUT for FARM ANIMALS :: Devi, HERE, and Athena Reich :: Thursday 10/29 :: 7pm event start; we go on second, maybe 7:30ish :: Kenny’s Castaways :: 157 Bleecker Street, NYC :: $10 cover to benefit Farm Sanctuary
In a hotel room in Florida during the summer of 2008, we were given an exciting preview of a “Nintendo Mixtape” by burgeoning rap group, No Question?. As we listened, we felt like Mario must have felt during his first ingestion of a fire flower. In other words, we knew immediately that this was some good shit.
Then, like so many promising music projects, it was shelved. Until now.
We recently ran into Andreis Costa, a.k.a. Guesswho of No Question?, and asked if we could give these gems to the world.
