Dam-Funk @ Union Pool

Union Pool already has a taco truck, so It might have been physically impossible to get a low-ridin' Impala to bounce in that outdoor courtyard. But I'm guessing that's what was needed last night (10/26) to complete the atmosphere of a surprise appearance from electronic-funk great Dam-Funk & Master Blazter with DJ Matthewdavid and Lone Wolf & Cub. Here are some pictures of the party.

The show, announced yesterday, followed a show at Highline Ballroom with Matthewdavid the night before and was part of a string of East Coast dates for the Westside-Zapp & Roger-devotee. All tour dates and more pictures from last night's show are below...

These Are Powers

These Are Powers and Lone Wolf and Cub, a drum and trapeze act, provided the musical portion of a benefit at the Issue Project Room back on October 9th. The night was dedicated to Issue Project Room founder and artistic director Suzanne Fiol, who recently passed. Part of the event was the premiere of TAP's video for their song "Candyman," which was filmed in the Issue Project Room's future home at 110 Livingston St. You can see the space in the video below, with more pictures of the event.

Next weekend, Issue Project Room hosts the Darmstadt Essential Repertoire festival on December 3rd, 4th & 5th. Tickets are now on sale for all three dates. Their only other scheduled event before then is an "all night free open audio & video jam" on November 29th.

These Are Powers played for the year's last NYC Cinema 16 of the year on Saturday, November 21st at Galapagos. The next gig for the band is a DJ night at the Bell House front room called Ice Rink on December 1st.
