What do you make of a DJ set where the headliners go on stage at 1am? On a Thursday night/Friday Morning? Not much, right? But the Le Poisson Rouge set was an immediate sell out because the DJs are Atoms For Peace Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich. Plus apparently THERE WILL BE MICROPHONES… Finally, AMOK is a very good album so do what I did, take Friday off workMonday – Maura O'Connell – BB Kings – Celtic singer who adds some bluegrass to her sound; that's some voice she has there
Tuesday – Tristan Prettyman – Bowery Ballroom – Former model becomes singer songwriter like the clock stopped in 1975
Wednesday – Dropkick Murphys – Yeah, they'll be at Ground Zero in Boston on Sunday. So enjoy the Celtic bad boys while you can. Imagine if the good will hunting formed a band…
Friday – The Saw Doctors – Irving Plaza – Yeah, and they are actually IRISH!
Saturday -Dr, John And The Lower 911 – Town Hall – Plus the one and only Allen Toussant, New Orleans comes to nyc and since we share a Hurricane we deserve them even more.
Sunday – Black 47 – BB Kings – I thought they were a little longwinded last year but with the Pogues gone they're the only game in town.
