_ Quarterly 5/6 Release & Celebration of the NY Art Book Fair

What're you doing this Wednesday? Really. Interesting. I didn't know you were into that kind of thing – my old room mate was, too. He's... blind now. Well, mostly blind. Anyway, you should do this instead

Swill Children & Maddie + Lauren VHS are having an event for your cultural edification at the always lovely Monster Island Basement. A sliding scale donation gets you music from Amen Dunes, MV Carbon, Hunters (playing as the Melvins [!?¡]), and DJ International Tapes; a performance that sounds complex and amazing; and art + publications + art publications. If you need a reminder, you can RSVP (here). A good time for worthy causes. Come on out.

EARS OF FIRE

This week is going to entertain you in ways that you'd previously only read about on the Internet. Let's get down to it

TUESDAY 9/21
International Tapes and Vibes Management are summoning the giant galactic brain (pictured) at Glasslands this Tuesday. In case the brain can't make it, Laurel Halo, Mark Mcguire, Outer Space, Steve Hauschildt, and DJ Jan Woo will be there. Hope for the 2nd option, because brain juice is a pain to wash out of your clothes. Further details and tasty media (here)

Thee Oh Sees, Sex Beet, Happy Birthday, and Fergus & Geronimo are bringing piles of fuzzy joy to ye aulde Santos Party House. Promises to be as a good time as $12 can get you in Chinatown these days. Deeper knowledge (here)

In case you don't have your magnifying glass handy, I'll fill you in on what the flyer says: Boats, Fance in the Foles, Small Devices, and Phonetag are playing at Don Pedro's (90 Manhattan Avenue in Brooklyn) for possibly the price of a single US dollar. Cheaper than a load of laundry and twice as snuggably soft. Links to musics and everything you just read phrased in a different way (here)

It's also Country Night at Heather's! Gluten free beer and heartbreak for all!

THURSDAY 9/23
Tiger Beer is celebrating the equinox/end of the world with cheap beer and performances by These Are Powers or Powers or whatever they're called now, current super favorite GATEKEEPER, and DJ sets from Finger on the Pulse. If you RSVP to uh, RSVP@deathandtaxesmag.com with the word "Tiger" in the subject line, you can get in for free. It's happening at Union Pool, so take appropriate health precautions

SATYRDEUS 9/25
Pendu Disco presents a Rainbow Body Records showcase! $10 gets you WHITE CAR, NIGHT GALLERY, ROBERT A.A. LOWE, GOLDEN BIRTHDAY, and KONNICHIWA. Needless to say, it's a show you definitely don't want to miss. It's all happening at Secret Project Robot. Details and media samplings available (here).

PARTY OVER HERE (BUSHWICK)

It's a good ol' fashioned block party with many favorite/good bands (Electric Tickle Machine, Shark?, Phone Tag, Hunters, The Netherlands, Team Robespierre, Git Real, Knifeshow, y mas) + a super secret guest, DJs galore, a special selection of edible objects from Roberta's, and various other things that pile great on top of awesome on top of neato. The weather will be nice! The Deth Killers are throwing an after party in 3 dimensions! Bikini keg stand competition? OK, sure! Go do it now (Sunday)!

PENDU DISCO: CULT OF YOUTH + COSMETICS + KING DUDE

Oyez! Oyez! Pendu Disco is switching gears! Your favorite weekly has now metamorphosed into your favorite monthly. That means if you miss out on tonight, your life is destined to be an empty shell for the next 30 days or so. With performances by Cosmetics, Cult of Youth, King Dude, DJ magic by Bryan K of White Ring, and light throwing by Laurel Halo, tonight is sure to be a classic. And remember, the fog is always free. More details (here)

And if you haven't already, be sure and become a fan of Pendu NYC on Facebook so as to stay up to date on happenings and other associated wonderful things. See you at Glasslands.

FRIDAY LOVE TRIANGLE

Oneohtrix Point Never, ARP, James Ferraro, Future Shuttle, and Blondes (DJing) are bringing their all natural goodness to Coco 66. It's going to be everything you'd expect from a Visitation Rites/Last Friday party. That means good things, by the way. Full details (here). And there's a super ultra totally superlative words (not) secret after party that's right next door that happens to have all of its info available (here)

Ye auld favorite Phone Tone Boners AKA Phone Tag are making their Santos Party House debut! Think About Life and Tayisha Busay will also be there. They might even play, too. I don't make those decisions. Andrew WK will be there watching your every move through the security cameras, but privacy whatever cuz he's gonna be partyin' hard in his MAGIC MULTI-FEED PARTY CUBE OH YAHZ while he's doin' that. Go! It will be great times. Details (here)

It's ok, I don't know what those tan Pacmans are supposed to be either. Art? Let's go with art. Anyway, the honorable people of Devotion Gallery and 319 Scholes (that place you went to an art show at that one time, remember?) have teamed up to throw a birthday fundraiser in hopes of continuing to bring you more of various kinds of great things. The event features art objects on the cheap and performances from a slew of very talented people who you should probably meet. You can get people to contribute to your zine or something. It'll be magical. Further reading is available (here).

BLACK DEVIL MEETS PENDU DISCO + INTERNATIONAL NEWS HEADLINE

The ever enigmatic master($) of tropical punch infused dark dancefloor anthems known as Black Devil --> Black Devil Disco Club are playing Pendu Disco this Tuesday at Glasslands! If you're not excited, come and find out why you should be. Facebook invite is (here). Order your tickets online by midnight tonight (Monday) and it will only set you back $12, as opposed to $15 at the door. This is one of those shows that just won't happen again. Doesn't matter how many electronic music festivals you're going to. + some of the best veteran Tuesday Disco DJs are warming things up. Beyond worth it

In other news, I've started writing reviews for the always fun and unpredictable International Tapes, so be sure and check back there regularly for tapes from across the multiverse, exclusive mixes, and tape reviews. Don't worry, I'll pester you about it, too. Superb entertainment. Exciting stuff all around
