ShowPaper #2 is out and it was designed by PaperRad! In celebration and support, five awesome bands have agreed to play this sweet benefit show to help raise money for this completely non-profit operation.

For those who haven’t heard yet, ShowPaper is a conglomeration of what’s already happening throughout Jersey, Brooklyn, Long Island, and all over the Tri-State area. Kids (of all ages) throwing good ‘ol fashion DIY shows at all sorts of weird spots, by all sorts of cool people. While we’ve all been toiling long and hard on our individual tip, we’ve finally decided to all start banding together to help spread the word a little more efficiently, and maybe entertain all ‘a y’all in the process.

If you see ShowPaper, grab one. If you’re setting up a show, drop us an email and we’ll list it (as long as it’s all ages). AND if you come out to the show this Friday, you’ll be helping with the printing costs!

Thanks!

[ ANIMANDIBLE ]

ANIMANDIBLE are about 1.5 years old risen from the remains of famed Brooklyn cowbellcore combo UKUK. Gypsy makes beats and shouts and writhes, Ronno decorates with choice cuts of melodic riffage and juicey keybass and also yells in the background. It’s exciting. but can you dance to it? Yes, you can.

Reasons to listen to Animandible
- Unique, Compelling
- Rocks

[ BOY CRISIS ]

“I don’t know if prince-y type sexy synth-pop is your bag” - but if so, here you go.

[ LE RUG ]

“A pop music exorcism. Ray Weiss (also from Hundred Dollar Elephant [http://myspace.com/hundreddollarelephant] and The Medics [http://myspace.com/themedics]) channels post-punk fire from somewhere mysterious inside of himself. He must be hollow, because it couldn’t possible fit anywhere else. Double-drum dance solos, electric keyboard freakouts, tearing apart his guitar until he looks like he’s going to vomit - Le Rug starts off every set by doing a nose dive off the roof’s edge, and just keeps gaining speed until the whole room goes splat.” - [ The Rats Of NiMH ]

[ MICHAEL JORDAN ]

“The Thermals & The Hold Steady at NYU with shitty openers the Michael Jordan. I mean, come on. Get a less ironic, more appropriate band name guys. Or, get off the stage already.” - Seriously, how could you say that to Michael Jordan? You say that to Michael Jordan, and he’ll kill you.

Fucking music blogs.

[ CountryCLUB ]

Yes. Like the 40.

We’re really lucky to have snagged this elusive rapper. This his first of only two performances in New York this summer, on a whirlwind tour featuring Indian Sari Palace in Jackson Heights, a subway car somewhere in Chicago, Illinois, Maharaja Grocery in Bellerose, New Mexico, and an alley somewhere in Gary, Indiana.

[ Yay! Thanks for making the alternative flyer, Animandible! ]
