I’m feeling like a brand new person today. Maybe it’s because the weather is changing. Perhaps it is the fact that I just explored, in its entirety, the Jeff Buckley box set “Grace Around the World” (highly suggest). Whatever it is, I like it, and I hope it sticks. Before I get into some updates, I want plug my friend Helena… For anyone interested in good stories accompanied by some bad ass photography (or maybe it’s even vice versa), check out Queen of the Pavement. Thank me later. On with the show.
The new CD we’ve been tirelessly, well tirelessly at a point, working on has now entered mastering stages. Behind the helm will be renowned mad man, Dave Collins. For all intensive purposes, mad man = masterer. However, I’ve always found “masterer” to be an awkward word, so I use “mad man.” Just a few bands and artists Collins has worked with: Alkaline Trio, Ben Harper, Chris Cornell, No Doubt, Weezer, and even Spinal Tap (yes, we’re serious… and yes, this was his selling point to us). Needless to say, we’re very excited about what should come out of his studio. W00P WooP!
I’ve got two shows coming up in NYC:
Thursday, April 29th
Je’Bon - 15 Saint Marks Pl (btw 2nd & 3rd Ave)
Doors @ 6:30p / Show @ 7:30p
FREE Admission and FREE Appetizers until 7:30p / 2 for 1 drinks!
Je’Bon is a great place for Pan Asian delights as well as some great underground music. Speaking of, this show is part of the Underground Artists (UGA) series. It’s a free show, with free app’s for an hour before showtime, and 2 for 1 drinks specials… Can’t really beat that. I go on at 7:30p sharp.
Saturday, May 8th
Arlene’s Grocery - 95 Stanton St. (btw Ludlow & Orchard)
Doors @ 8:00p / Show @ 10:00p
This is my first time playing at this legendary lower east side venue. I am very excited to be opening up the show for my good friends from Washington DC, “NO SECOND TROY,” as they celebrate the release of their new CD. I go on at 10pm sharp with NST immediately following.
I hope you cool cats can make it out to one of these shows. Or both. That would make you an über cool cat.
Peace,
Brooks Lee
PS: To all my Raleigh brethren, please mark your calendars for June 26th, 2010. More news why soon.
