WHOOPING CRANE brings it large at HANK'S SALOON in Brooklyn with two of our kind buds - psychedelic garage overlords MADAM ROBOT & THE LUST BRIGADE (these guys just keep getting better and better) and neo-no wave nihilists THE HOREHOUND (the biceps on their lead singer and the drummer's backup vocals alone make them worth seeing.) Of course, WHOOPING CRANE will be walkin' the buzz with the fuzz and the hot smokin' sassafrass heavy boogie. Together, we intend to burn the joint (which shouldn't be too hard seeing as how the place is already engulfed in flames.)
The show is FREE and Hank's has reasonably priced beers and a laid-back vibe to keep you from gettin' uptight. It's also conveniently located, with access to every train imaginable at the Atlantic Ave. stop.46 3rd Ave. (@ Atlantic) Brooklyn
