Besides being a tongue twister, NY Eye and Ear is also...
a 2 day record fair and all-ages music festival celebrating NYC homegrown DIY recording labels and bands. This is NYC's only record fair devoted exclusively to NY record labels. The title is inspired from the 1964 Michael Snow film w/ soundtrack by Albert Ayler and from the all-too-familiar signs seen daily in the subway tunnels by riders of the L-train of the famous NY Eye & Ear Infirmary. The Fest will be held at Vanishing Point, a huge 4700 sq. foot industrial loft in Bushwick, Brooklyn (240 Meserole street, Brooklyn, NY 11206).Something like 36 bands are playing at this thing, plus "Dance-party from 1:30 - 4am" each night. Ticket info and all the record sellers, labels and bands are listed below...Friday, December 12 from 2pm -4am
Saturday, December 13 from 2pm -4am
