The premier edition of Smell The Glove went down at St. Jerome in the Lower East Side.
NoiseCreep.com's Power Hour kicked things off with the listening party for the new Scorpions album Sting In The Tail.
A bunch of people came out to check it out and they seemed to really dig it...pretty solid record, I might add.
At around 10pm brody Matt aka Klicka from Wizardry started his set of hair metal, gritty punk and hard rock tunage. Then our lovely dancers Amber and Apathy took the stage like only they can. Meanwhile, Scotty Skitzo was giving free mohawks. Our homie Lex was the ballzy one to get one. fuck yeah!
The nxt Dj was iLan who was celebrating his bday that night and he brought out some hard rock gems and 80s metal radness. Dj Cobra (Sean Carpenter) closed the night with a heavier set with some Sabbath and Maiden to much delight of all our drunken asses.
The crowd was a mixed bag of nuts, from metal heads to a few hipster kids, local band members to nightlife figures. The Dim Mak bros were having a great time and Andy Shaw promotions showed up and fist pumped for a few. He scored a killshopkill tote bag with goodies from our sponsors (Nickels and Dimes included) we were giving away. After he left he was cruising on his motorcycle and the bag apparently burst into flames without him realizing it. From what I hear it was a very Ghost Rider-esque scene down on Delancey St.
We had a blast and we'll be doing another one soon...brewing it as I type this.
Everyone had a great time and even the Village Voice featured pics from that night on both online and their print edition. Here are some pics from DrivenByBoredom, Dr. Photog.
