***Saturday, January 19***
THE BOY BATHING (Manhattan, NY)
http://myspace.com/theboybathing
"Think precious acoustic-sounding indie lullabies ("Cuddlecore," they say on their myspace, which sounds ominous but is kinda misleading), but so wordy that the lyrics start to avalanche in a way that's kind of sweet and romantic." -THE L MAGAZINE
PETER NEVINS (Manhattan, NY)
http://myspace.com/peternevins
My own guess is that if you taught a very impressionable 17th. century troubadour all about Syd Barrett, Donovan, Stephin Merritt, and the Lower East Side as it is today, he would most likely end up sounding something like this inimitable man.
DIBS (Brooklyn, NY)
http://myspace.com/dibson
"Jonathan Richman meets Beat Happening. Daniel Johnston punches Stephin Merritt. Anyway you compare him, Dibs is his own weirdo. "
Music starts at 9 PM
