In our backyard: Holopaw for CMJ Music Marathon!

Part of CMJ Music Marathon in NYC
Visit Band Site
Thursday, October 22nd @ 7pm

$5 Donations gratefully appreciated!

Hailing from Gainesville Florida, but steeped in the Brooklyn and Northeast indie-folk pop strains, Holopaw plays music that has sweetness and grit, longing and potential violence, lulling strings undercut by anxious guitars, lilting “la’s” turning sinister and demanding. Horns, keyboards, guitars, cymbals and harmonic convergences tell fairytales with unsure endings.

UPDATE – FOR THOSE WHO COULD NOT ATTEND….

An interactive, multimedia answer to the complicated question “What is Brooklyn? How can it be represented on stage, in an hour or less?”

This THurd THursday

Its time again for our monthly THurd THursday event again. We have a terrific line up for you, featuring:

In the Exhibition Hall:
Opening reception of Miss Subways, Past and Present, with current photographic portraits of the past Miss Subways by Fiona Gardner, along side archival photographs and posters. View a sample of Fiona’s work or visit the NY Times slideshow

In the Community Collection Window:
Closing reception of Amy Von Harrington’s Copper Mold Collection. Come see this spectacular eye-catching display during its last few days on view in our front window display case.

In the Urban Greenspace (aka; backyard)
The amazingly talented band, Frankenpine. This band has been described as a blend of folk, indie, and bluegrass which may help to explain their namesake: the large cellular towers thinly veiled with semi-realistic tree limbs. Frankenpine is also native to our corner of Williamsburgh having been founded on and recorded their first album here on Havemeyer Street.  Don’t miss these hometown heroes! For a sample of their music go to:

Expect an even more impressive live presence in our own backyard! (Band @ 7:30 PM)

And of course:
Brooklyn Brewery beers for just $3 a bottle!

Hope to see you at the next THURD THURSDAY, September 17th from 7-10 PM at your community museum, The City Reliquary.
