Raekwon & No Age playing NYU Mystery show @ LPR

Raekwon & Ghostface Killah @ Santos in NYC - 9/8/09 (Village Slum)

"[Thursday] night is NYU's yearly mystery concert, one of our school's most popular traditions that has featured some big names in past years. For those who don't like surprises, a little birdie told NYU Local that Raekwon (of the Wu-Tang Clan) and No Age will be performing tomorrow night.

This year, the show will take place at Le Poisson Rouge on Bleecker St. between Sullivan St. and Thompson St. The show is at 8 p.m., doors at 7, line forms at 6. All students with vouchers (plus student ID) will be admitted, but unfortunately, the bar will be closed.

Students can get vouchers for free at Ticket Central in Kimmel. All unclaimed tickets will be released at the venue at 7:45 p.m."

I also heard from one of those little birdies, and have since also confirmed that it is 100% true which is weird because Raekwon is scheduled to play SOB's the same night! Last night (9/8), Raekwon played Santos Party House.

For No Age, who reside on the west coast, this is a pre-ATP NY show. Then they're back in NY in October for four more shows, including another one at Le Poisson Rouge.

For NYU this seems like an interesting move - hosting a show at their local neighborhood, non-affiliated music venue.
