Whoah... The Jesus Lizard AND Bad Brains playing free VICE Halloween party in Brooklyn! ++ (and other dates) ++
Bad Brains @ Irving Plaza in 2008 (more by Tim Griffin)
"VICE magazine, which is still not only fully independent but is also flourishing while the dinosaurs that surround us slowly suffocate in the tar pits of their financial ruin, is throwing a massive Halloween birthday party to celebrate our 15th anniversary. There will be two floors of chaotic nostalgia, scary punk bands, full-on rave DJs, a skate ramp, glow sticks, grunge, big pants, gangsta rap, marijuana-scented flannel, and serious slacker vibes. Plus it's on Halloween, so if you don't show up dressed as some sort of a cultural cliché from 1994, you probably won't get in."That's the official description of VICE's upcoming Halloween bash in honor of their 15th birthday. And like their CMJ parties, it's happening in Brooklyn (though not in the same neighborhood). No other details have been released at the moment, but I just heard that, not only will it be a free/RSVP thing, and that The Jesus Lizard AND Bad Brains are both on the bill (theme of the night: 1994). More details TBA, and I think they will include even more performers.
One band who I'd imagine VICE would want to put on the show is one they recently added to their record label roster, The Almighty Defenders who are made up of the combined Black Lips and King Khan and BBQ. Conveniently, King Khan & BBQ do in fact have an early Brooklyn show scheduled on that very (Halloween) night. Whether they get added to the Vice show or not, I have no idea, but the "supergroup" is playing a free show in NYC even sooner for Topman during CMJ (and a they have a show at Maxwell's the same CMJ week).
This Halloween show is happening before both Jesus Lizard shows at Irving Plaza which is the same venue Bad Brains last played in NYC.
The Dead Milkmen are playing Philly on Halloween. The Dead Milkmen and Bad Brains co-headlined Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin last year. This year The Jesus Lizard is one of the headliners of the Texas fest.
The new issue of VICE, pictured above with Chloe Sevigny on the cover, can be read on their website.

WOW. But, in total agreement w/ Anon1
I wish they would just sell tix for $1 or something,
just so you KNOW you can get in.
BUT, I am sure it has something to do with something about business that we will never understand.
RAWK ON!

I'm in line right now. They just announced a late show and are handing out wristbands and delicious Capri Suns. This is insanity. Late show will be '95 themed, Silverchair and Better Than Ezra to cover entire Bush albums. I don't know exactly how many people are here right now, but I think it's everybody.

Why the excitement over Bad Brains? They have been awful for the longest time now, with HR so out of it he just mumbles about Jah with a trash can on his head while the band half asses everything. They've abandoned their audience since they became Soul Brains.

I HATE free shows in NYC. It just means hours of waiting in line only to find out you're not getting in. Hooray. I'd rather pay a cover to avoid the bullshit uncertainties that go along with the usual Vice shitshow. I will try to make it to this event, but I'm not holding my breath.
MEH.

Amen.

this show sounds great but that press release is exactly why its so hard not to hate vice. skate ramps, flannel shirts that smell like marijuana, and 1994 cliches! woohoo vice, you and rich kids who don't care about anything, shop at american apparel, pretend to skateboard, and act like they knew about music in 1994 are so cool. people who read vice were pooping their pants in 1994.

Unless you are 19 years old or some "networky" schlub out looking for coke hookups, anyone waiting in line for three hours to see bands that have confirmed New York dates is a sad piece of shit.
Grown-ups pay for tickets.

This seems great, but not for Halloween. No one will be dressed up or anything. It will just be hipsters in flannel and converse saying look at me! I am dressed like 1994...which is exactly how I dress in 2009.

It'll take place in an unoccupied warehouse on North 10th Street between Berry and Wythe in Williamsburg, directly across the street from the Vice offices. There will be an open bar all night, several skating ramps and dozens of security men and firemen and policemen. The warehouse has a capacity of about 1,800 over two floors.

as expected, it was a shitshow. the wrist band line moved about 4x faster than the non-wrist band line but we still were on line for over 30 minutes...ended up missing ALL of jesus lizard which was the only reason i was willing to deal with this crap.
saw bad brains from the beginning...they were horrible as usual. hr just stood there, tons of kids threw drinks everywhere, guards came out, the band played 3 sucky versions of their classic stuff and then i left.
this party made me hate people again...vice puts on a free show and hipster trash just destroy everything for no reason. we are pretty fucked as a society.

"but we still were on line for over 30 minutes...ended up missing ALL of jesus lizard which was the only reason i was willing to deal with this crap."
Well then maybe you should have shown up an hour earlier and waited a little bit extra. Wow, you show up right before the band you wanted to see played and expected to get right in? If you only had to wait 30 minutes you were lucky. You should have shown up earlier if you wanted to see a specific band. Your compalint is not valid.
If you only had to wait for a half hour and you missed the only band you came to see then you didn;t time it right and YOU fucked up, not the party. Take a look in the mirror and your watch and realize you are a screw up.
