Shangri La Studio party in greenpoint

Went to this rad party in Greenpoint at this huge loft. There was free booze all night with a door price of 12 bones.
They had done some renovations and the place looked a bit spiffy...as opposed to the DIY feel it had before. A bunch of bands including classy Brian Newman Trio played and the fire breathing burlesque chicks were tops.
The whole night was an epic win until Jon Toubin started setting up for his dj set...that's when the announcement came to leave cuz the cops were outside...apparently something really bad went down on the street.
That pretty much sobered us, so we moved the party to our friend's rooftop, zig zagging our way thru the police shit show at 4am.

Amon Amarth kinda sunday

So, there I was chillen at home being lazy and a bit hungover, knee deep in metalocalypse/futurama/southpark/aqua teen marathon, plus some PS3 and delivery, when I received a call to see Am0n Amarth and Holy Grail within an hour...of course I said, yes. Who am I to turn down a free viking metal show on a rainy nite.
Amon Amarth, they're pretty fucken tight live, wall of sound and tempos always in-synch that only seasoned veterans possess...their songs are long sometimes but they can rock shit out pretty epicly. good times. I took a couple pics.

Municipal Waste and Atakke do Knitting Factory good

The other night one of my favorite bands, Municipal Waste, played The Knitting Factory. In proper manner, a bunch of us started the night with some delish BBQ and drinks at that awesome F.Sau place near by...even the Earache dudes got in the action since I've been raving about it for a minute.
My friend Sam's band: Atakke opened up the night and they destroyed. Too bad I was too far back to snap some pics, but the ones I did take were from The Waste. Which, as predicted brought the building down.

Smell The Glove was pretty effin epic!

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.
