BECK @ THE KNITTING FACTORY, NYC | OCT 26, 2006
Beck also played the mtvU awards, Angel Orensanz, Jersey City, & MSG’s Theater while he was here.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs also played Bowery Ballroom earlier this year.
I’m not sure The Fiery Furnaces ever played The Annex before, but I did see them at Bowery Ballroom in 2004, and I’ll be at the Annex on Saturday November 4th with special guest host Sara Shaefer who also performed with the Walkmen at the above mentioned AOL party at Canal Room.
