Some of you may know that I'm involved with the
East River Music Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to putting together free shows at an awesome venue and showcasing (generally) local acts (read mission statement
here).
Here are pictures for the season opener today:
Soiled Mattress and the Springs, which I previously saw/shot at a
WBAR concert (see
here).
Audience participation during
Lucky Dragons, who took part in this year's
Whitney Biennial and who curated today's show. You wave rocks over this thing, and it has a
theremin deal going on.
Animental, a pretty rad band from Brooklyn.
Lexie Mountain Boys, who are four ladies.
John Wiese also played a set, which I caught just enough to get a sense of what he's about (noise) but not quite enough to get my camera all ready.
David Horvitz opened.
There was rain:
Poor Titus Andronicus was rained out. How tragic!
But eventually, the showers passed.
Full set here.
