Bloggy Goodness: Bowery Presents, The Sinclair
Bowery Presents continue to stretch their reach outside of their home base in New York City, as next month the concert promoters will open their second venue in Boston – The Sinclair. The 525-person venue, located in Harvard Square in the Cambridge area of Beantown, will take a page from their sister venue Brooklyn Bowl by also featuring a 104-seat restaurant “helmed by one of the country’s top chefs, James Beard Award–winner Michael Schlow.” The club will officially open on Tuesday, October 30, with a gig from The Meter Men with Page McConnell, and currently have shows scheduled with K’NAAN, psych-rock legend Roky Erickson, folk-rockers David Wax Museum and more.

Finally, Light In The Attic first caught our attention back in 2008, when the Seattle-based label reissued the fantastic lost debut from Rodriguez. The label, who has built a reputation on re-releasing similar lost albums, reissuing hard-to-find and out-of-prints records and putting out compilations, will celebrate their 10th Anniversary with a two pack of concerts – the first at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles (9/28) and the second at The Showbox (10/12) in their hometown that will both feature LTA artists: Rodriguez, Michael Chapman, and Donnie & Joe Emerson. Prior to the concerts, the label has announced that they will hit the road on a 2,500 mile road trip up and down the West Coast, where they will visit 58 record stores over the course of 12 days – and they want you to join them. If you’d like a spot in the van, simply email roadtrip@lightintheattic.net and tell them why you deserve to be chosen to join them. The winner will be announced on September 17th, 2012 at the Light In The Attic blog.
