Sorry, folks, this show's a little shorter than normal.  I've had a rough week, so I didn't have all the time I would have liked.  However, I still was able to find some choice bands that will be playing in the 'hood.  So check out who's on the show this week...

Thursday, October 5:  Salt & Samovar will be having their CD release party at Pianos.  (The Glass start their month-long residency too.  I featured them way back on Show 5... still creating some nice beats.)

Friday, October 6:  Dead Rabbit hops the water from Staten Island to play at Fat Baby.

Saturday, October 7:  The Village Green, pretty popular band out on the West Coast, will be playing at Club Midway, right here in the middle of Alphabet City.

Also, on SATURDAY, The ColourSound (and here) is playing Crash Mansion, which is on Bowery, at 9:00.  I haven't featured any shows from this venue in the past, but I first featured this New York band back on Show 19, and they have a really cool, smooth sound.  Another reason why the local scene is so strong.  I'll be there, so it must be good stuff, right!?

I also saw an awesome show by Bettie Serveert last weekend at the Mercury Lounge.  Classic... played lots of old favs.
