But the night before, Friday, May 22nd, while HF and APTBS play the Music Hall of Williamsburg, Crocodiles will instead play a free gig at Studio B with Japanese Motors and Finger on the Pulse DJs. That show, dubbed "Tux With Chucks Prom," is being presented by Converse and Death + Taxes; to get in, RSVP to tuxwithchucks@dt-mag.com.
