The Flaming Fire/Sleepytime Gorilla Museum show Sunday night was fucking RIGHTEOUS. I haven't headbanged like that in quite some time. I may have sore neck muscles today, but as a tradeoff I may well have shook loose some cobwebs in my spine. If anyone made it out give a shout by PM to compare notes.
Here's another couple of events happening this coming weekend that I figure locals might be interested in.
FRIDAY - EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG
The Disinformation Company Ltd Presents A Special Night of Mental Insurrection at the CUNY Graduate Center Friday, October 21, 2005, 7PM - 9PM
WHO SAYS THAT NOTHING AVANT GARDE HAPPENS IN NEW YORK ANYMORE?
On October 21, 2005, the CUNY Graduate Center turns over it's hallowed halls of higher learning to The Disinformation Company [disinfo.com] for a wild night of lecture, art and film with artist Paul Laffoley who will discuss his amazing occult and science fiction oriented paintings; notorious New York performance diva Kembra Pfahler (The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black) and "weird science" expert Duncan Laurie on plant communication and strange electronic medical and agricultural devices from the last century that were banned because of "how well they worked!"
Expect the unexpected! It's NOT a night for the entire family, perhaps, but for jaded New Yorkers looking for something truly strange to do on a Friday night, this is it!
This event features:
Supermodel, rock star, visual artist, producer, Kembra Pfahler is the spirit behind the notorious band The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black.
Painter Paul Loffoley has exhibited his amazing canvasses at museums the world over and has been the subject of two books, "Arcitechtonic Thought Forms" and "The Phenomenology of Revelation." He is represented by Kent Gallery.
Duncan Laurie has been a pivotal figure for years in the underground culture of "weird science' and the "forbidden science" of radionics. He has pioneered some extremely odd acoustical research into how plant life communicates and he is now working on his first book documenting his decades of experience with fringe science.
Richard Metzger is co-founder of Disinformation, the host of the Disinformation TV series that ran for two years on UK television and the author of two books, "Disinformation: The Interviews" and "Book of Lies." He is currently working on his third book, a guide to business from a magical point of view.

There's also supposed to be the second local launch party for GENERATION HEX on Oct. 27 at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, but I'll let Boy In A Suitcase plug that if he so wishes. Oh, and if anyone cares, the Halloween Motherfucker is, as I understand it, Friday, Oct. 28 (sorry, Caleigh), tho I know not where. Kinda sucks for me, since I have a doctor's appointment at 10 am the next morning. (Is it frowned upon to show up at a doctor's appointment hungover or, worse yet, still fucked up? How much worse is it if I'm still in costume?) |
