The Final Exit


Modern Needs is listening and dance party with special guest DJs and monthly musical themes. The April shindig features special guest DJ CAPTAIN HEARTLOCK (The Electric Mess/Madam Robot & The Lust Brigade). The Captain, and your Modern Needs host and boss DJ, MR. LEE (Going In Style Sound System), will be spinning scorching, strictly vinyl sounds until the wee small hours.

Last Exit has been the incredible home for the Modern Needs party since its inception four years ago. Sadly they are closing their doors at the end of the month, which makes this our final party there. So please, come on out and make the scene.

WONDERBREED
A DEVIL'S BROADCAST • THE WHORES
DOZIAC • CERAMICS • SINGLE RED CENT
MOON TOOTHTWEEN • SLIM WRAY

Brooklyn-based rock trio Wonderbreed was formed in the summer of 2012 by singer/guitarist Chando Yun, bassist Joe Mastracchio, and drummer Mark Sev. Their mutual rapport instantly translated into a sound that effortlessly leaps from punk to psychedelic, from sludge to cartoon funk, from the man who gave you life to the man who serves you rice. With an intensity rooted in the creative tradition of '80s underground and '90s alternative, Wonderbreed forges forth with a level of sonic power increasingly rare in today’s indie scene.

THE COFFIN DAGGERS
VON GHOULS • TRIPLEDEUCETHE HESHERS

The Coffin Daggers, an instrumental surf-punk band from New York, delivers an all out attack on the senses drawing from diverse influences, ranging from Dick Dale, Henry Mancini, Link Wray, and the Cramps. Viktor Venom, one of the founders of legendary NYC punk band Nausea, started the group early in 1999. Vik's punk influences (he has also worked with Reagan Youth and Chaos UK) give the band's music a unique melodic sensibility. Their performances have floored both European and American audiences from start to finish, prompting Chart magazine to declare "no one comes close to The Coffin Daggers when it comes to all-out intensity... they will stomp a mudhole into your fragile minds."

BLOCKHOUSES
THE PIGGIES • SUPER SCENICS

There’s a shortage of no-frills rock'n'roll these days, but Blockhouses are keeping the flame alive. The New York City trio recreate the time-honored tradition of classic rock'n'roll — following the thread that connects the early rock'n'roll of Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry to the seminal ‘70s punk of the Ramones to the garage-pop renaissance of today. It’s all about great songs with catchy choruses, lyrics that people relate to, and live punk-rock energy. The band came together in 2013 after singer-guitarist Guy Lyons — a pivotal member of the Figgs back when the hooky, brash power-pop band was on Capitol Records — pledged a return to rock'n'roll. Looking to carry the torch for bare-knuckle, sing-along rock, he joined forces with bassist Christopher Peifer (the Kowalskis) and drummer Bill Wolf (Wolfhaven), and Blockhouses were born.
