[PARTY] DYNGUS DAY IS NOT STUPID! Don’t listen to what Anderson Cooper tells you, this is a real holiday with real traditions like squirting water guns and… whipping each other with pussy willows. Ok, it sounds stupid, but it’s all got to have some kind of origin story, right? Like, we sprinkle water on each other in honor Polish Prince Mieszko I’s baptism in 966 A.D. It signifies cleansing. The kind of cleansing you’ll need AFTER A HARD NIGHT OF DRINKING! Am I right? Yes.

[ROCK] Award-winning alt-rock band Whiskey Reverb are just getting started. Earlier this month they released their latest single, “See You Soon,” a pop-rock power ballad that should have the crowd feeling like it’s homecoming night all over again when Whiskey Reverb comes to the Tudor Lounge this Thursday, April 2, with Sacramento, California’s Arden Park Roots.

[SCREENING] The last time Buffalo 66 played at the North Park—when it premiered there in 1998—Vincent Gallo told me this when I asked him if he now thought of himself as a “filmmaker”:

“I’ve always thought of myself as a hustler, a control freak. Being in a movie has a certain amount of impact: it has social status, it has freedom, money, recognition…it gives me validation, it allows me to take revenge on my mother and father, who doubted me.”

[ELECTRONIC] Over the course of two EP releases, Northampton-by-way-of-Savannah duo Boy Harsher, formerly Teen Dreamz, has evolved considerably since beginning as a live-scored storytelling project that approached the realm of performance art. Augustus Muller supplies a dark-but-danceable undercurrent of beats while vocalist Jae Matthews puts a compelling assortment of vocal nuances over the top. The results are solidly gothic without becoming pastiche.
