Vintage 1970s Photos Show Lost Sites of NYC's Lower East Side
A quest to find his grandmother's birthplace led Richard Marc Sakols on a mission to capture his changing neighborhood on film.
A recent and massive theft has caused the DIY music spot, the Silent Barn, to temporarily close operations. They’re viewing this as an opportunity to begin a transition into a viably permanent, resilient, and safe part of New York City and are looking to raise $40,000 through Kickstarter. They raised half within 24 hours–an incredible feat.
Help them reach their goal by hanging out at this outdoor show featuring Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt, the Eskalators, Blastoids, 2 Ton Bug, Religious Girls and Bee. It’ll be hosted in one of the locations of Clinton Hill DIY festival, Hillstock. I’ve spent some hungover mornings at 106 Emerson watching The Wire, Flight of the Concords and making costumes for the house cat–and I can vouch that this place is awesome.
Join us for an evening of mind-exploding musical performances from six different genre-defying bands that will converge from the north, the south, the east, and the west of our fair country, for one INSANE night of music and dancing to benefit THE SILENT BARN.
August 6th, starting at 4pm. Facebook invite.
