Happy Cinco de Mayo! To celebrate, we're hosting a 2 hour BOBBY pre-party at Knitting Factory tonight from 6-8pm. Free cocktails courtesy of Hornitos Tequila for all BOBBY ticketholders. In other words, for $10 you get 2 hours of free drinking followed by 3 bands (BOBBY, Alex Bleeker & the Freaks and Prussia).

Liturgy have a new video for "RETURNER" from their new album "AESTHETHICA" (out May 10). Check it out below...

What else?

It's Bill Ward's birthday today. That's more important than anything that could possibly be listed here.

The Bills are making it happen now.

Cinco De Mayo, another excuse for stupid American's to get drunk. But ask them why it's celebrated, what's the historical significance and watch them fumble with their iphone until they pull up wikipedia and read off some hackneyed explanation of why they're throwing back 2 for 1 margaritas.

I'm hoping to eat taco crumbs out of Tim "take it to the tape" Putnam's beard.

What time did Fiery Furnaces go on last night?

Posted by Edward | May 5, 2011 12:35 PM

fiery furnaces yo

Posted by chris g | May 5, 2011 12:35 PM

Seems like no one went to the Fiery Furnaces last night...or no one wants to give us the info. Useless.

Posted by Anonymous | May 5, 2011 12:44 PM

Village Voice reviewed Fiery Furnaces last night... I'd link to it but it seems like whenever I link something lately it gets held for approval... I guess google it? Best I can do...

Looking forward to Jukebox the Ghost tonight

there's something wrong about having rammstein and amon amarth on the same night, in different places.
