wild nothing all over the place.

Jack Tatum, aka Wild Nothing, will be playing Thursday, Friday and Saturday, all in Brooklyn and all with respectable lineups. Thursday's show at Market Hotel will include Blissed Out, Miho Hatori (who I had never heard of before today - she's great), and Fluffy Lumbers (also playing tonight at Monster Island Basement with Dream Diary and others). Friday is Wild Nothing's biggest gig of the three, at Music Hall of Williamsburg with WOODS and Real Estate; and he will finish up at Shea Stadium on Saturday with PC Worship and The House Floor. All are shows worth attending, do some listening to straighten out your priorities.

Thursday is the new Saturday!

The coolest place to be tonight is probably the Silent Barn. The Barn will be hosting a show-paper benefit with four brooklyn bands covering four monumental 80s punk bands: Grocery Theif (throw-back punk outfit) as Joy Division, Le Rug (post-punk w/ Ray Weiss) as Dead Kennedys, Graffiti Monsters (a lo-fi/punk/experimental project) as Minor Threat, and Rainbow Party (more modern punk) as Gang of Four. All four are going to be awesome. Starts at 8.

Also happening on thursday is Shea Stadium. They have a long night of Brooklyn noise makers including Equestrian, The Binary Marketing, Video Daughters, The Last Nights, Childproof, Touching You and more. Video Daughters highlight the night with low guitar riffs and robot electronics. Their swimmy vocals effect the room like a wash of acid haze. Show starts at 8.

That's all for today, gotta go to work. If you're bored come by Plan B in Prospect Heights for a drink. Mention this blog and it's on me (I'm the tender).
