The Lumiere Brothers @ Bubby’s Lounge

Packed house tomorrow night. Musically speaking, of course… we’ll have to see what crowds appear. But in other news, one of the shining stars of the New York City nightlife scene is leaving us on a jetplane headed to wasted New Orleans on Friday morning, so this show is dedicated to the one and only True.

We’ve lined up the urban-folk duo from the far North to send him off…

* THE LUMIERE BROTHERS

Thursday, Feb. 2nd
9pm
$3

(in their own words…):
The Lumiere Brothers, in spite of the Francophilian notion suggested by their name, play a unique brand of music that is mostly American. With only three players, the band includes a drumset, two guitars, and an occasional banjo, harmonica, ukulele, or tambourine. I’ve heard words like urban-folk and I’ve heard words like anti-folk, but I’ve also heard words like Google. And people are improving their wankels all around the world, but you can’t know everything at once anymore. Someone said we sounded like Modest Mouse and I wanted to say how it is but I couldn’t explain - the stories the movies that these songs are about. Putting on an act without putting on an act. You know what I’m saying? Available sound forms a cocoon and comes out flying. Stealing And like the Lumiere Brothers before them, they are inventing a motion picture camera of the 21st century. That isn’t really a camera at all. And the film is exposed by some intangible process that happens when your not paying attention to the radio tower attached to your head, tuning into a book that you haven’t finished yet and you already know the ending.

“We like drugs and making music but not necessarily in that order.”

[and opening the night…]:

* THE BEETS

The band formally known as “Jose Garcia & The Magic Bus To Infinity” is taking off their aprons and coming out of the kitchen, bringin’ the phat beets. Turnip the volume! And…

We dream of un-confiscated forties, shit-cheap liquor off a plywood bar, smoking inside, bands in the backyard, in the basement, in the bathtub. Out of necessity, we do shows at venues that are pretty lenient by New York standards, but in a perfect world every show would happen at home (in this city of eternal roommates). To get to the nitty-gritty, if you have a space, and think music forcefully shoved inside might work for us both, drop us an email. We can use all shapes and sizes, from pretty little alleyways or back porches for an acoustic kind of good time, or an industrial-looking basement for around 100 kids to spazz the fuck out in…
