Our pal Sam Davis of Dog Gone Blog has put together a couple of late night shows of note that take place this weekend at NYC’s Mercury Lounge. On Saturday, Real Estate bassist Alex Bleeker & The Freaks will team up with RecommNeds alum Prince Rupert’s Drops for a night of psych-y goodness. Then, Sunday finds Sam offering up another performance from Brooklyn’s Superhuman Happiness.
Both shows take place at the Mercury Lounge on Manhattan’s Lower East Side and are scheduled to start at 11:30PM. Your $10 cover gets you plenty of music along with liquid light shows provided by Planetary Projections. Head over to The Merc’s website to purchase tickets.
This turkey week, I’m thankful for the opening act. Always try to get there in time to see a little bit of ‘em, you just might discover your new favorite band! Plenty of room on the bandwagon for these three… for now, at least.
Prince Rupert’s Drops: Run Slow
Rare and special is the band that’s just as comfortable writing a catchy 2-minute ditty as playing a 9-minute jammed-out burner. But that’s just the kind of firefly in a bottle Prince Rupert’s Drops have captured on their debut. This is high-level psychedelica that plays well on repeat and begs the “if this is the debut, what’s the ceiling?” question. Perfect for the old Thanksgiving family freak out, should you and yours be so inclined.
