bar matchless
557 Manhattan Ave
Brooklyn, NY
**SUPER** **MODEL** **DEATH** **DIVE** Prezents:
A ROCK AND ROLL SHOWCASE SPECTACULAR at Matchless STARRING:
**LOVESTRUCK**
...Somewhere in someone's mind concepts of future and past lose purpose and instead flow into one concise thread of chronology: THE PRESENT. Meet **LOVESTRUCK**, a brand new BROOKLYN ROCK GROUP that takes the frenetic whimsy of rock and roll's past and clothes it in an icy modernity, like if Gene Vincent and Suicide had a baby whilst on vacation in LEGOLand. ++Also:_ULTRA_RAD_CLOTHES_&_HAIR!!!++
**TWIN*GUNS**
One of Brooklyn's NEWEST and HOTTEST acts, **TWIN*GUNS** combines equal parts TIGHT BLACK LEATHER JUMPSUITS, MASSIVE ELECTRICAL GUITAR and ACOUSTIC PERCUSSIVE FORCE! Expect minimalist blues reminiscent of Suicide (yes, again), Jesus and Mary Chain, early Spacemen 3 etc. If the term "WALL OF SOUNDS" hadn't yet been invented by BILL SPECTOR, it would have to be invented for the **TWIN GUNS**!
++Also:_TIGHT_BLACK_LEATHER_JUMPSUITS+ULTRA_RAD_HAIR!!!+++
**SORCERESS**
Resurrectionists of southern guitar funk long since lost to the world since days prior to your parent's birth, **SORCERESS** makes it their endeavor to ROCK the ROCK but NEVER NEGLECT the ROLL!! Its no big secret that these penitent sonic pilgrims worship at the altars of T. Rex, Slade, Sweet, Mick Ronson, Gary Glitter and Pink Fairies, but would you also believe... SUICIDE! Tis' true,dear children, be there and BELIEVE IT! (they do have one song entirely composed in a single chord after all)
++Also:_ULTRA_RAD_CLOTHES_&_HAIR!!!+++
In addition to all of the phenomenal acts listed above we have spared no expense to line up NYCs finest collection of heavy riffing, funk rocking, boogie blasting DJs that will be shaking the main room ALL NITE LONG!!!!!
**ULTRA*RAD*BOOGIE*DJS**:
!!!MILLION DOLLAR RIFF!!! (formerly boston's last rocker left alive and Dio tribute ruler)
!!!DJ KELLE CALCO!!! (proprietor of the super happening Electric Ladyland rock n roll dance party)
!!!DJ BRENDA BRAND!!! (unrivaled SMDD house disc jock and confirmed STONE FOX)
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

HULLABALOO Fri Aug20 w/DEVA, Othermen, Twin Guns, more @ Bruar Falls
245 Grand St
Brooklyn, NY
I hereby trumpet the next occurrence of the most holy and righteous Hullabaloo happening on Friday, August 20th, 2010 at BRUAR FALLS in the burgh of William, Brooklyn City.
We have a literally once-in-a-year bill topped by the excellent DEVA, who are NOT necessarily men (no!) but rather WOMYN fronting an excellent Devo revival band, complete with choreographed jerking and pitching, costumes and god knows what els...e (Booji Girl? Don't be surprised). This will be your only chance in YOOL 2010 to check this experience, so don't you miss it!
Brooklyn's own OTHERMEN will also perform with their fantastical new 'mark 2' lineup featuring the most right reverend HEARTLOCK on keyboards. This show will serve as the opening day of Killer Diller season as the Othermen's first LP on said label of record will be available at this show! Order your pizzas now!
They will be most ably supported by the double-barreled action music of TWIN GUNS, who continue to blast away at the crumbling infrastructure of a sleepy new york scene with their glorious two-headed thrash.
Not to mention that the legendarily impossible-to-book HEADLESS HOOKERS will be opening with gospel-inflected punk fuzz... a booking 3 years in the making!
What more do you want? DJs?
You'll be visited by three:
Shimmy, Charles Gaskins and special guest Seanzi Dirtbag (Othermen) !
They'll be spinning... forever and ever amen!

After Party for the Fort Greene Park Literary Festival
Music, refreshments, and signing with Festival authors and hosts
The 6th annual Fort Greene Park Summer Literary Festival will present a free outdoor reading on August 21st at 3:00 PM at the top of the park, featuring young writers (seven to eighteen-year-olds) reading alongside six poets who have appeared at the annual Calabash International Literary Festival in Jamaica and in the anthology So Much Things to Say: Kwame Dawes, Gregory Pardlo, Willie Perdomo, Carl Hancock Rux, Patricia Smith, and Cheryl Boyce Taylor. Created by the wonderful Fort Greene nonprofit organization New York Writers Coalition, this exciting event brings several generations of writers together to build on the rich literary traditions of the neighborhoods surrounding beautiful Fort Greene Park.
Greenlight is honored to be the alternate "rain venue" for the event, and to welcome all of the authors and audience to the bookstore after the event for music, mingling, refreshments, and a chance to purchase copies of So Much Things to Say and get them autographed by the featured authors.

Picks!!!!!!!!

Hey folks,
Its the 3 year anniversary of my Copycat at Ottos this Wednesday. Honestly, I can't believe what it has grown into. Every one is getting better and better. Who knew that a one off I did in 2005 at the late great Rififi would turn into such a long running thing?
Stop by on Wednesday for two great bands, a great guest dj and the return of the Cat Scratch for Five Bucks all night. Those who had it last year may or may not remember how good it was.

Zone Zero
AN exhibition of contemporary work of inner space. Zone Zero is the center, a brain tuned to its own synaptic snaps. It is a state of inner dialogue, or inner monologue that is active, not reactive. It is consciousness; it is stream of consciousness; the world is not enough. To fearful outsiders, it appears as a barren landscape; however, the initiated know the zone to be infinitesimally expansive. It collapses onto itself in mirrored feedback. It is elemental.
Our first extended art show at Port d’Or starts at Zone Zero. This show brings together artists working in performance art, film, experimental theater, the art world, the underground, and the outdoors.
With Ben Boatright, Crow Hill Gnostic Temple, Keith Connolly and Tom Thayer, Kyle Eyre Clyde, Dylan Hay, Natsuko Uchino, Mary Kidd, and Turner Williams.

Expect wild music to delight your ears, colorful costumes to delight your eyes, full cash bar to delight your gullet, and plenty of surprises to delight your soul.

BURLESQUE: Gimme Some Sugar, Baby Bruce Campbell Burlesque
Casino O'Fortune Cookie Productions presents the world's first all striptease, fire-eating, bald-magician tribute to Bruce Campbell, B-movie cult hero and hilarious horror movie icon, as part of the 15th annual Burlesque at the Beach series on the historic Coney Island sideshow stage. Bruce Campbell is the star of dozens of low budget classics from Maniac Cop to Bubba Ho-Tep, cameo artiste in every Spiderman movie and small screen powerhouse in shows ranging from Xena: Warrior Princess to The Adventures of Brisco County. This night of all new performances dedicated to his famous characters will star Anita Cookie and Clams Casino and emcee Neil O'Fortune and will feature performances by Jezebel Express; Sizzle Dizzle and Velocity Chyaldd; sideshow magic by Albert Cadabra; and world class fire eating by Reina Terror.
