Takka Takka - 2 NYC shows, 1 tonight ++ some CMJ pics
photos by Leia Jospe
We've talked about tonight/Friday's show at the Bell House as one of many shows Loney Dear and Melpo Mene are/were playing in NYC, and we've talked about it as a birthday party. This time I'll call it a Takka Takka show (they are headlining), and it's one of two shows they have coming up. The other is January 10th at the BAM Cafe in Fort Greene. More picture from the BrooklynVegan show they played at Knitting Factory in October, and both of those dates again!, below...
Takka Takka - 2008/09 Tour Dates

Oh God above why do people wear scarves with t-shirts?!?!?! Do they not realize it raises the douche quotient?

I love how this site is so vitriolic about stuff that has nothing to do with music. Welcome to gawker. I love you all for it.

Unbelievable. The lousy band has a lousy bass player with a goddamn WAL bass. Lucky idiot.
