« TV on the Radio played Radio City Music Hall (pics & setlist) | MNDR is playing the Brooklyn Museum w/ New Villager (who was remixed by Punches) -- MP3 premiere & other dates »
by BBG
Floor @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
A shade more than a year after their return which has included a Brooklyn show at Europa, Floor made their way back to Brooklyn to play Music Hall of Williamsburg last night (4/14) (the same venue that TV On the Radio, who were headlining Radio City at the time, played one night earlier). The Floor show was part of a tour with Hawks that hits Philly tonight.
Floor's genetic makeup last night was the same as their recent touring lineup (Steve, Anthony, Henry), and the band played a similarly crushing setlist comprised of faves like "Scimitar", "Trangle Song", "Tales of Lolita", and "Iron Girl" among countless others. The reunited Floor-ida band was supported by Atlanta's Hawks (not the basketball team), who churned out Am-Rep-faithful noise rock that featured a David Yow-sound-alike in front who took cues from Eugene Robinson in the wardrobe department... slowly, but surely stripping down to his underwear.
Magrudergrind opened the show to a meager crowd, and dependably delivered their grind-y hardcore with vigor. Small crowd or no, you can't keep some kids from going apeshit during songs like "Heaviest Bombing".
Floor's Steve Brooks will be back in NYC and at Music Hall of Williamsburg on July 20th with Torche, who will be on the road as part of a string of dates with Big Business and Helms Alee. Tickets are currently on AmEx presale and go on regular sale Friday (4/15).
And, heavy music invaded the whole block on N6th lastt night, as right next door The Ocean was teaming up with East Of The Wall and Flourishing at Public Assembly. Those pictures are on the way. Check out more pictures from Music Hall of Williamsburg below.

That singer for Hawks has to invest in 1) a belt
and 2) an ab roller.

Magruber played to a meager crowd because their shit is weak and uninspired!!!
Posted by Crom | April 14, 2011 3:06 PM
grind at mhow is a terrible idea. especially when bands dont have someone to tell the 22 year old behind the soundboard what to do. magrudergrind used to play kick ass basement shows tho, and still do

at the charlotte show, hawk's singer stripped down to nothing then ran around in the crowd trying to get people to touch his dick.
