A new venue featured this week... right in the middle of Alphabet City!  Where else?

The Station Myth (www.thestationmyth.com, www.myspace.com/thestationmyth) are playing at Sin-e on Wednesday, July 26.  Check them out here.  If you like them, you can download their whole album on their Web site.  Amazing work.

And for a rebirth of smooth '60's tunes...
Cake Shop is the place to be on Thursday, July 27, to see The Black Hollies (www.myspace.com/theblackhollies, www.ernestjenning.com).
