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.
Stuart Bogie’s sublime Superhuman Happiness project has a busy end of 2011 ahead with the release of a six-song collection called The Physical EP, a support slot this Friday at the 92Y Tribeca for Royal Potato Family label mate Marco Benevento and headlining duties at the just-announced Dog Gone Blog Post-Phish Party on December 30. That’s right, our friends at Dog Gone Blog will throw their second event of the year on 12/30, when they welcome Superhuman Happiness to The Cakeshop on Manhattan’s Lower East Side for a Post-Phish Party. Check out the announcement vid…
DGB has been championing Superhuman Happiness for years as Bogie’s group mixes jam sensibilities with just enough psych and funk to create an interesting musical stew. Add a light show and talk of “very special guests expected to appear” and you’ve got a can’t miss spectacle. Ticketing information will be announced soon, so keep your eyes on Dog Gone Blog for further details.
And with that we want to premiere Superhuman Happiness’s video for Needles and Pins…
Brooklyn-based sax wiz Stuart Bogie has a resume most musicians would kill for. The Antibalas musical director has worked with a ridiculous list of musicians spanning nearly every genre, is featured in Broadway’s Fela! and was a member of Phish’s horn section for the Waiting for Columbus set on Halloween. Bogie also fronts Superhuman Happiness, a Brooklyn-based band whose single GMYL channels Oingo Boingo, Talking Heads and MGMT with Nigerian beats over the course of three horn-fueled minutes. Take a look at the video for GMYL filmed and edited by Tatiana McCabe…
