Tomorrow night (Wednesday): SoldOutMusic launch with The Bloodsugars and more!

SoldOutMusic Launch Party: The Bloodsugars, BM Linx, Ludlow Lions and The Ropes
Wednesday, February 10 7pm 18+
TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE

SoldOutMusic.com is a music blog that delivers the goods in many flavors. They're breaking new talent like a bull in a china shop, and they report on industry trends through an experienced critical standpoint. Tomorrow they'll be consumating (yum) their launch and showcasing a line-up of hand-picked dopeness.

THE BLOODSUGARS
The Bloodsugars' unique brand of exhilarating, polished synth-pop is a thoughtful combination of lyricism and kinetic beats that reflect the group's charming optimism in the face of adversity. Imagine a house designed by Paul Simon, built by Prince, decorated by The Flaming Lips and you’ll have some idea of where The Bloodsugars live.

BM LINX
An answer for those who need a little more testosterone in their electro comes in the form of BM Linx, who have taken elements from disco and trance and fused them with the dirtiest elements of shoegaze, southern rock and blues. Grooves and riffs provide the catchy backdrop for confrontational lyrics, and somehow, between the twang of guitar solos and eerie synth padding, it all makes sense.

LUDLOW LIONS
It’s difficult to get a retro, “classic” rock sound if the band doesn't identify with any specific era, yet somehow Ludlow Lions accomplish this with flying colors. Melding the psychedelia of the early 70’s, the off-kilter harmonies of 90’s alternative and the recent explosion of garage punk, Ludlow Lions depict the atmospheric topography of the Lower East Side with incredible vividness.

THE ROPES
Picking up where The Smiths left off is a duo making a orchestra’s worth of sound. The Ropes are new wave punk with a perverted interest in off-kilter samples and lo-fi aesthetics.

The CRO-MAGS played last night. Everything went fine and no one was hurt.

BrooklynVegan took some pretty riveting flicks of our show last night with H8 Inc, Razorblade Handgrenade, Last Call Brawl and the immortal Cro-mags, brought to us by N.Y. Drew. The concert asserted the health of NYHC, starting with an intense pit that had built to Bermuda Triangle whirlpool proportions once the Cro-Mags hit the stage. A memorable night for all who survived.








Darryl Nau (Not Andrew W.K.... or is he?) shows us a perfect 45 degree angle.

Vegans Saving Dolphin.

The set featured covers of Bad Brains' "Attitude" and "Banned In DC," as well as Cro-Mags classics like "Street Justice" and "Malfunction." Ensemble for the night featured original Mags John Joseph and Mackie Jayson, as well as bassist Craig Setari from Sick Of It All and lightning fast A.J. Novello from Leeway. The band was especially tight considering the rare appearance.
