The Men, Nude Beach and Parquet Courts played Bowery Ballroom (pics)

The Men. Ghey names for Bands. 101.

Durring the Men it looked like some guy in the balcony was painting a portrait of the Men? Anyine else see this?

does anybody know if the young girl that took the unbelievably bad spill down the stairs to the smoking door ever got up, is alive, is hopefully miraculously okay?
frightening shit. happened 2 minutes before the set.
was not looking good, don't think she moved after hitting the floor, not an inch.

Blog rock for publicists

Saw the girl who took the jarring dive. Paramedics came quickly, she was put on a stretcher and lifted out the first floor door - her mouth was pretty gnarled and bloody but she was definitely alive and breathing. But yeah, saw there when she took that spill - it was a scary thud. She didn't move let alone show a sign of life for a solid five to ten minutes.

But she's alive.

@4:13 and you jetted right by her to go see the show. good man!!!

i like that new album.

I found last nights show to be incredibly disappointing. Parquet Courts was the only moment that was not only enjoyable but exceeded expectation. Nude Beach was good but not exciting...I want to say, having seen The Men before, that they were lackluster and missed a fullness that I had enjoyed on pervious occasions. But I can't truly say much because four songs into their set I left.
I left the show because I had the unfortunate fate of standing where The Mens entourage ended up walking over to as they began playing. Not only were they so fucked up that two of them spilled beer all over me, but one of them even pushed me out of the way to get in front so that she could dance in a way that seemed she was hallucinating the return of Christ all while her flailing arm smacked me in the face from behind. She proceeded to drink my beer and began chat-slurring with the near photog about the show they both saw in LA-- though she embarrassingly thought his name was something completely different.
Word to the wise for those with friends in bands...your behavior is a reflection of your talented friends, you should be trying to let the crowd to enjoy the show, not ruin it for them.

Dear BrooklynVegan, STOP blocking comments about Ben Greenberg's defense of his rapist friend Jeremy Villalobos (Drunkdriver, Pygmy Shrews).

that, "but you didn't do anything to help", is pretty much the, "your mom," in these cases.
cool, bc i thought she was either dead or paralyzed, from what i could see as they were clearing out the area.

so these guys are being bred to be the next big time alt-rock thing outta NYC? ehhhh...

no crowd shots again.

austin from parquet courts made that statement about playing manhattan. also, the first song after the drone by the men was () not Electric.

4:13, 5:21 pushed that girl down the stairs. I saw it. She was asking for it, though, what with her slurred speech and forgetting people's names. That photographer was from LA. They don't take that lightly there, it's not at all how they roll.

5:22 - yeah, it's pretty incredible how quickly everyone forgot about that situation

new men is weak pub-rock

parquet courts were the best band that night. so glad i got there early enough.

yeah 4:18.. because EVERYBODY's an EMS worker in disguise..

11:31 is totally on point.

new moon starring kristen stewart is an awesome record. yall crazy.

The first song was "()", not "Electric"

if the rapey stuff was real, then why were the police never involved?
