Tonight (10/9) at Silent Barn is also your last chance (for now) to see Lafayette, Indiana's TV Ghost, who played a NYC show last night, and one last week with Veedee and Pissed Jeans at the WFMU Fest at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Pictures from that latter are below.

They're on In The Red, so you know there's gonna be some element of garage rock in there, but they've got a Birthday Party paranoid thing going in there that is the perfect soundtrack to your next nervous breakdown. And Halloween's coming up. Consider them for your party mix. Tonight's Silent Barn show also has Wizzard Sleeve, FNU Ronnies, and Unholy 2.

All dates, a video and MHOW pictures below....

Teenage Jesus & the Jerks @ KF in 2008 (more by Lori Baily)

WFMU will be putting on a three-day Brooklyn festival at the Music Hall of Williamsburg from October 1st-3rd. Its Thursday and Saturday night bills will be headlined by two classic acts, German krautrock-ers Faust and NYC No Wave punks Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, respectively, while Friday night will feature Philly's Pissed Jeans (who have a new record out) in the top spot.

TJ & the Jerks last reunited in 2008 for a night at the Knitting Factory where Thurston Moore played bass. And like Faust, they're also playing Pop Montreal around the same time.

Tickets for all three WFMU days go on sale Thursday, September 3rd at noon. Pissed Jeans is only $12 advanced. The other two are $20 each.

The station writes, "These shows will not be broadcast over the air/net." Full lineup and poster below...
