“Hero, Villain, Yeti: Tibet in Comics”
Characters as diverse as Mickey Mouse, the historical Buddha, Tomb Raider Lara Croft, and the Green Lama have something in common: Tibet. For more than sixty years Tibet has figured in comic books from around the world, at times creating and at times perpetuating notions of an otherworldly land roamed by the yeti, inhabited by wise and powerful lamas, or full of dark magic.
Hero, Villain, Yeti features the most complete collection of comics related to Tibet ever assembled, with examples ranging from the 1940s to the present. More than fifty comic books from the Belgium, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, and the United States reflect on the depiction of Tibet, tracing the historical roots of prevailing perceptions and stereotypes and their visual and narrative evolution over time.
Rubin Museum of Art, 150 W 17th St at Seventh Ave (212-620-5000, rmanyc.org).

REAL GONE presents a ROCKIN' HOLIDAY NIGHT of Ho Ho Hos!
Join us on December 30th at Otto's Shruken Head for a night of Chick-infused Rock/Punk/Post-Punk/New-Wave/Funk and a heavy-dose of Glitter and GLAM!
10pm- The Lovely: Two hot mamas and one hot dude who rock with the power of 500 Andromedas. Raw lyrics intertwined with thunderous punk.
11pm- Auto Bonfire (*Debut Gig!*): Inspired by bands from the late 70's and early 80’s, Auto Bonfire blends a poppy, new romantic sound with a darker, post-punk edge. (Featuring Esther & Derek of The Electric Mess!)
12am- Discovery: Discovery makes deep and groovy music--mingling rock with funk. The band's live sets bring rhythmic Afro-beat and Latin elements to mix with smooth, spacey tones. Comparisons have included new wave acts like Human League and The Creatures.
Djs Xerox, Kathleen Lupe Loop, Moonray, and Kitty Beat spin rock, punk and new wave all night long! And it's Patty Garcia's (bassist for The Lovely) birthday bash! Drink Special in her honor: The Hot Garcia! (Much prettier than the "Hot Toddy"!)

Hanuka Rock
Once upon a time, a long long time ago… a bunch of fringe radicals called the MACABEES opposed the powers of global hegemony: THE GREEKS. The MACABEES organized, and fought. And they won.
And THAT is the miracle of Hannuka!!
Today’s fight is just beginning. But you should still rock your socks off in memory of those righteous and radical Maccabeean freaks!
HANUKA ROCK
with….
THE SHONDES -Known for their political anthems and heartbreaking violin hooks, Brooklyn’s The Shondes bring the spirit of riot grrrl to their brand of Jewish-inflected indie rock. MTV Iggy called their new album, Searchlights, (9/20/11, Exotic Fever Records) “an instant classic.”
http://www.shondes.com/static/
YIDDISH PRINCESS – Double guitar onslaught. Drums beating you into submission. Precious analog synths beckoning. And a voice that can shatter ice and coo you into mellifluous bliss. Oyf Yiddish. Looking to reconcile your love of power pop and hard rock with your love of Yiddish music? Your search is over. Behold, Yiddish Princess.

Hanuka Rock
Once upon a time, a long long time ago… a bunch of fringe radicals called the MACABEES opposed the powers of global hegemony: THE GREEKS. The MACABEES organized, and fought. And they won.
And THAT is the miracle of Hannuka!!
Today’s fight is just beginning. But you should still rock your socks off in memory of those righteous and radical Maccabeean freaks!
HANUKA ROCK
with….
THE SHONDES -Known for their political anthems and heartbreaking violin hooks, Brooklyn’s The Shondes bring the spirit of riot grrrl to their brand of Jewish-inflected indie rock. MTV Iggy called their new album, Searchlights, (9/20/11, Exotic Fever Records) “an instant classic.”
http://www.shondes.com/static/
YIDDISH PRINCESS – Double guitar onslaught. Drums beating you into submission. Precious analog synths beckoning. And a voice that can shatter ice and coo you into mellifluous bliss. Oyf Yiddish. Looking to reconcile your love of power pop and hard rock with your love of Yiddish music? Your search is over. Behold, Yiddish Princess.

HULLABALOO! LE CHELSEA BEAT, Baxx Sisi's, Apehangers @UNION POOL,SAT DEC 17
9:00pm until 12:00am
Description
it's the return of HULLABALOO! to that vene(a)rable Hall of Whorishness, that Salon of Sluttitude, UNION POOL.
Our final fornication of 2011 is a Christmas party presenting the Pepe Le Pews of Rock'n'Roll, LE CHELSEA BEAT. Montreal's own fantastical freakbeat fanatics, featuring Pat Meteor of Demon's Claws infamy, are releasing their first platter on Brooklyn's own KILLER DILLER RECORDS, and are traveling a great distance just to personally stuff your stockings with their shiny hard plastic product (available for just $10).
Supporting these francophone fools are Japan's greatest gift to America (after transistor radios, animated pornography and Mandom of course)-- the BAXX SISI'S! Frequent co-conspirators over our 4 year history, these ape-loving boogers promise to throw some holiday cheer into the mix with a few choice seasonal covers.
Opening this obviously hopeless boondoogle are the APEHANGERS, no strangers to simians themselves, who, besides cracking the obligatory PBR, will also try their hand at a few special covers-- dreidel dreidel anyone (one can hope)? and even attempt to capture instrumentally what it feels like to contract VD from some ho-ho-hoes while in the endless bathroom line.
Charles and Shimmy will be DJing between the bands and then LO! HARK! BEHOLD! et cetera yonder AFTER PARTY, at the Commodore, happening at midnight with special guest DJ GAYLORD FIELDS of WFMU!
7 Measly Dollars gets you entry into this Holiday Hoedown.
So remember: Doors at 9PM sharp, don't drink and drive (far) and wear protection. Merry Merry!

When the red light goes on take your place 1) in the audience, 2) as a guest performer, 3) in the band lead by Christina herself, 4) as one of the crew or paparazzi, or choose option 5) the "mystery surprise"!
PLUS special seedless grapes (can they exist in nature!) and a surprise appearance by the toilet bowl fairy! If you feel touched by the fairy dust, do a 2 min piece on stage and be interviewed afterward by your hosts Fritz and Christina. For the wallflowers and voyeurs, get the special Paparazzi pass and get to sneak back stage or even sit, "under the desk!" Also a chance to meet and hear from some of New York's most bizarre artistic talent. 90 minute show starts promptly.

HULLABALOO! LE CHELSEA BEAT, Baxx Sisi's, Apehangers @UNION POOL,SAT DEC 17
9:00pm until 12:00am
Description
it's the return of HULLABALOO! to that vene(a)rable Hall of Whorishness, that Salon of Sluttitude, UNION POOL.
Our final fornication of 2011 is a Christmas party presenting the Pepe Le Pews of Rock'n'Roll, LE CHELSEA BEAT. Montreal's own fantastical freakbeat fanatics, featuring Pat Meteor of Demon's Claws infamy, are releasing their first platter on Brooklyn's own KILLER DILLER RECORDS, and are traveling a great distance just to personally stuff your stockings with their shiny hard plastic product (available for just $10).
Supporting these francophone fools are Japan's greatest gift to America (after transistor radios, animated pornography and Mandom of course)-- the BAXX SISI'S! Frequent co-conspirators over our 4 year history, these ape-loving boogers promise to throw some holiday cheer into the mix with a few choice seasonal covers.
Opening this obviously hopeless boondoogle are the APEHANGERS, no strangers to simians themselves, who, besides cracking the obligatory PBR, will also try their hand at a few special covers-- dreidel dreidel anyone (one can hope)? and even attempt to capture instrumentally what it feels like to contract VD from some ho-ho-hoes while in the endless bathroom line.
Charles and Shimmy will be DJing between the bands and then LO! HARK! BEHOLD! et cetera yonder AFTER PARTY, at the Commodore, happening at midnight with special guest DJ GAYLORD FIELDS of WFMU!
7 Measly Dollars gets you entry into this Holiday Hoedown.
So remember: Doors at 9PM sharp, don't drink and drive (far) and wear protection. Merry Merry!

Hanuka Rock
Once upon a time, a long long time ago… a bunch of fringe radicals called the MACABEES opposed the powers of global hegemony: THE GREEKS. The MACABEES organized, and fought. And they won.
And THAT is the miracle of Hannuka!!
Today’s fight is just beginning. But you should still rock your socks off in memory of those righteous and radical Maccabeean freaks!
HANUKA ROCK
with….
THE SHONDES -Known for their political anthems and heartbreaking violin hooks, Brooklyn’s The Shondes bring the spirit of riot grrrl to their brand of Jewish-inflected indie rock. MTV Iggy called their new album, Searchlights, (9/20/11, Exotic Fever Records) “an instant classic.”
http://www.shondes.com/static/
YIDDISH PRINCESS – Double guitar onslaught. Drums beating you into submission. Precious analog synths beckoning. And a voice that can shatter ice and coo you into mellifluous bliss. Oyf Yiddish. Looking to reconcile your love of power pop and hard rock with your love of Yiddish music? Your search is over. Behold, Yiddish Princess.
