The Wailing Wall / Tall Ships / Polite Sleeper @ Micheline’s

WailingWall(smallllll)

Come out this Saturday to the classiest establishment between Bushwick and Bed Stuy: Micheline’s! Check out the photos from the last couple of Micheline’s show in the SleepDead Gallery, and prep yourselves to dance to the dirty banjo until your feet fall off!

[ The Wailing Wall ]
“Led by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Rifkin, the Wailing Wall transformed from a very private home recording project into a sprawling collective in October 2005, and they have been playing shows constantly ever since. Based in Bronxville, NY, the Wailing Wall consists of up to ten musicians playing guitar, banjo, mandolin, accordion, viola, glockenspiel, drums, trumpet, bass, harmonica, and whatever else happens to be lying around on any given day. Their new 7″ (on gold vinyl!!!!) is coming out in a couple weeks.” - Jesse Rifkin

[ Polite Sleeper ]
“Jason’s television acting career landed him in New York with only a hope and a dream; Tim was nice enough to deliver some socks a few months later. Our songs are all about missing one thing or another.” - Polite Sleeper

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…
