« NY Dolls are gonna be at Best Buy and other places (updated) | LCD Soundsystem Terminal 5 tickets »
Posted in music | tour dates on February 21, 2011
"Austin based performance artist Ernestina Forbes aka "How I Quit Crack" is a gem. Aesthetically her performances are thick with fog machines, lasers, and ornate effervescence via black light saturation. Objects such as feathers, skulls, fake flowers, and a black light reactive guitar are strewn about the stage and vividly glowing. Meanwhile, doomed out synth-scapes and dimension bending frequency washes allow you to slip into a trance as a soft voice guides you through the fog. She recently released 7in" titled "Gone Away" and is available on Answering Machine Records." [Pendu]Witch House enthusiasts take note. How I Quit Crack is on the road. New Yorkers take note. How I Quit Crack plays a show at Red Light District in Far Rockaway tonight (2/21), and a Pendu gig at Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn Tuesday (2/22) with BL§§D OU†. All dates, flyers and some videos, below...
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST---
AT RED LIGHT DISTRICT (1034 bay 25th street, far rockaway)
8:00, 5:00
HOW I QUIT CRACK

Trust me... Quitting crack is much more easier then quitting hummus.

Just like Aerosmith and The Beatles maybe she was better when she was on drugs.

I would be a hater too if I was a fate middle age bore at home on a Friday night with my indie rock records. Why is everyone so threatened?

No one here feels threatened. We just have taste.

All you thick headed irono-wear dipshits that think a few jangly guitars and assholes with big lips are going to save 2011 are so backwards that your shoving shitty Williamsburg pizza in your assholes and shitting out your mouths. All this hater vibe is evidence that youll retire to your bland conformity seeking lives eventually completing the ritual of emulating your parents and having more asshole kids like yourselves. Why so threatened by a good time? Good thing the blogosphere is dying of a clogged ear canal and eyesore. Wow Brooklyn Vegan you really took a risk on this one, keep up on that edge! I actually wrote the blurb mentioned in this article for Pendu some time back. Tina is a friend, and I couldnt tell you how wrong you are. If you have any balls go to the show and see for yourself. ;)
Posted by Malcolm Elijah | February 22, 2011 5:52 PM
fuck all yall faggots. tina is good people. she would give you her last dollar, share her meal, open her house to anyone needing a place to stay. she apologizes for others. she cries when she hears someone is sick. she goes out of her way for you hater fuckin bitches. yall can all sit on a tack. stay at home, losers.
Posted by Anonymous | February 22, 2011 7:20 PM
7:20... You say she would share a meal, but is that meal chickpea based? That's the important question here.
Posted by Anonymous | February 22, 2011 7:38 PM
I would go but I don't think you want strep throat. BTW I like bloody meat, does that go with hummus?
Posted by toast | February 22, 2011 9:46 PM
I like bloody meat too... of humans.

I'm from Austin and I've seen this girl play private house shows and all around town, and trust me, the only thing interesting is why ANY of the people around her don't slap her silly and tell her how stupid her shit is. If this is really how she quit crack, that's great, but let's not confuse it for music or art of any value.
And if it's ritual magick, then a glamour it may be, but those are only good for fools.

you shitfags should hear the new album, she has a better voice than any of you anonymous internet turds
Posted by skullcaster | April 13, 2011 7:57 PM
How I Quit Crack is fun, creative and different. Her story is inspiring. I'm shocked at how many close minded, judgemental people there are reading this site. To each his or her own but I really can't believe that you all don't have anything better to do than sit around and hurl cowardly "anonymous" insults at someone's heart and soul. That is sad.
