Falling Off The Face Of The Earth


THE ELECTRIC MESS
THE GTVsTHE LOW DOSES

"[The Electric Mess] have two excellent albums under their belt, both of which are filled with all the trappings of classic '60s punk — fuzz guitars, snotty vocals, and swirling organs abound — with a big slap of psychedelic coloring; think early Stones, Animals, 13th Floor Elevators, Seeds, Chocolate Watchband, and Lollipop Shoppe, as well as latter-day revivalists like The Chesterfield Kings, Cynics, Lyres, and The Miracle Workers." -Achilles In The Alleyway

What's Words Worth?


M.O.T.O.
BRADLEY DEAN & THE TERMINALS
NIGHT SQUAD

"Masters Of The Obvious' (aka M.O.T.O.) sound is that of one would be a 100% appropriate heard searing over an AM station on a weather beaten drive-in theater speaker some place in the midwest that time forgot. A time when Kiss, The Four Tops, Sweet, Olivia Newton-John, Black Sabbath, Lou Rawls and Boston could be packed tightly next to each other across the tinny mono frequency. A couple of acres of customized vans, big block engines and paneled station wagons with teens inside clutching such bottles as Richard's Irish Rose or Sloe Gin and Mountain Dew inside. The humid summer air is snarled with the scent of snack bar grease and smoldering homegrown. The projectionist for 25 summers had seem films about surfing student council members, sadistic bikers, reckless auto thieves, cheerleaders possessed by the devil and magic Volkswagon's come an go. But the station they played through the speakers before the previews started at dusk always stayed the same. In his twenty sixth summer the Flavo shrimp rolls and the cheap whiskey finally caught up to him and stopped his heart. The guy that took his place declared that AM radio was for squares and little kids and started piping the Ramones through the speakers. All hell broke loose and M.O.T.O. is what was left standing in the ruins." -Smashing Transistors

Bradley Dean & The Terminals are a four-piece rock'n'roll band influenced by early punk-rock and power-pop (i.e. Stiff Records). Features ex-members of The Visitors (NYC) and Bad Manners.

Night Squad sings songs about Judy Garland (masturbating to The Pirate), getting fat (again), work nightmares, gay bounty hunters (Randolph Scott), preferring shooting guns to having sex, and buying your girlfriend shoes (yours, not ours). They steal wholesale from: Angry Samoans, the Descendants, and G'n'R.

My Waterloo


THE SLIM KINGS
THE MIDNIGHT MOANBEYONDO

You’ve got to revere and respect your roots in order to tread fresh territory. That’s when you can break ground and truly make a difference. The Slim Kings stand at the eye of a perfect storm for bluesy rock'n'roll. Among the New York group’s ranks are two young guns — singer, and rhythm guitarist Michael Sackler-Berner and lead guitarist Henry Geller — along with legendary drummer Liberty DeVitto, who spent over three decades playing on seminal records for, and performing with Billy Joel. Blending elegant song craft, impeccable instrumentation, and a whole lot of soul, this formidable lineup comes to life on its second full-length offering, Dirty Socks and in particular in the live setting.

46 Third Avenue (at Atlantic), Brooklyn, U.S.A.
Doors at 9PM. No cover. 21+ with ID.
