There are a couple of cool, totally illegal venues that were doing shows recently, though fatherhood has severely limited my show attendance. Just did a search. Market Hotel was an amazing shithole of a space where I saw Pissed Jeans and ****ed Up. Amazing show. Theyve been shut down for serving alcohol to minors. They are currently trying to reopen as a non profit arts collective, and I couldnt find any upcoming show listings. Look up Drug Front records and/or Dean Rispler on facebook. Hes a friend of mine and is regularly doing brooklyn shows. Sleazy old school NYC rock. I notice that Murphys Law is playing on June 1 @ Saint Vitus, an awesome metal bar in my neck of the woods, Greenpoint Brooklyn. Look at Saint Vitus' listings. They do shows nearly every night of the week and are kind of the only bastion of hope for the NY thrash/metal scene. facebook event attached: http://www.facebook.com/events/258744097556779/ Maybe we should try and meet up there. My best friend would probably be in as well. Let me know if you need anything else, dude. David
