The So So Glos / Fiasco / Michael Jordan @ Uncle Paulie’s
Snap. Sorry to keep sending out all this shiz, but there’s a crazy number of shows this week that The Rats Of NiMH have got their dirty little paws in.
After two sick weekday shows, this is surely the icing on the cake. Three punk-rock rage-rs we’ve been wanting to put together forever are all joining forces at Uncle Paulie’s 2nite, beneath the smoke stacks and turrets of The Newtown Creek Water Pollution Control Plant.
It’s a simple fact that this show is going to rock. No way around it. No way to escape it.

[ INFO. ]
[ THE SO SO GLOS ]
“Mixing up a sometimes overlooked genre of rock and roll and brash swagger, The So So Glos have recorded one of the best collection of songs (four to be exact) to come along in a while. You can feel and smell the city on their EP, dripping with attitude, fun and angst. The tracks are thick with rhythm and gut deep sentimentality, criss-crossing bombast with gentility. Beginning with a singular siren guitar riff on ‘Black & Blue’ singer Alex Levine belts out The cops put a black boy in back of the car / The pretty people watch it as they strut into the bar. He sings as if being dragged away by thugs, his delivery soulful, like a staggered rally cry. The guitar is playful and pointed, moving along and then
going quiet, making a point, supplanted even further by the drumming and a howling chorus of have you got it all figured out? It is fucking blissful, hoarse and brazenly Joe Strummer to boot.” - Bootleg Magazine

[ FIASCO ]
“Brooklyn’s Fiasco rock the rapid-fire punk strums played at eighty-eighty miles per second - to create orchestrated chaos - There are ‘kid bands’ and then there are bands who happen to be kids. Fiasco are the latter. This is no Menudo - Make no mistake, this is punk rock. But there’s definitely a Strokes-y element to their vocals that make their noise pretty melodic, too - If Thurston Moore likes Be Your Own Pet (which he does, since he signed them) then he will LOVE these guys.” - Oh My Rockness (featured “Band We Like,” September, 2007)

[ 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.” AND “This was…different: loud, dissonant, abrasive noise from a quintet of NYU’ers. As my friend remarked the bass and (dual) drumming wasn’t bad, but the frenzied guitar, squeaky violin, and mildly irritating vocals made for the most painful set I’ve ever experienced.” —– WHAT? They’ve played with a violin? Shocking. Don’t fuck with MJ, seriously, these guys are a Dirty Jerz powder keg.
