A R&R SHOWCASE SPECTACULAR! Starring: Sorceress + Twin Guns + Lovestruck!
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?
get in FOR FREE when you RSVP to supermodeldeathdive@gmail.com!!!!!
otherwise $5 at the door...
PLUS! OPEN VODKA BAR from 9-10pm!!!!
MAKE SURE YOU GET THERE AT 9! We'll be starting promptly and YOU NEED TO SEE EVERY BAND ON THE BILL!
