Supp NY! This weekend is an outstanding practice in music that we love, so lets not get around to all that’s going on but clue you in on where we’ll be.
On Friday, FMLY Presents: Masters of the Universe, a free evening of music with Ethan Master of the Hawaiian Ukulele and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Ethan joined FMLY for SXSW ‘09 with his band Reverse X Rays and came out to Los Angeles for a FMLY backyard birthday party last summer with Peter & the Wolf. Philip Seymour Hoffman has joined us recently for Thank You Come Again, Beach Dazed, and was featured on IMPOSE today.
Party starts at 5, goes til 8 or 9. Probably a dance party following the sets.
Ethan Master of the Hawaiian Ukulele – Eight Note Run
Ethan Master Of The Hawaiian Ukulele – If You’re Acting Like A Baby (How’re You Going To Be Her Man?)
Philip Seymour Hoffman – Firing Missiles At Christmas And Easter Island
BNS
Reverse X Rays – Buffalo Machine
Saturday starts with a free performance of M. Ward, Mike Watt and Nels Cline at the Central Park Summerstage (gates open at 7) and rounds out with an APW afterparty featuring Tokyo Police Club and LA Riots. Flyer here, free with RSVP here. However, these events are repeatable which is why I’m going to be spending a chunk of my Saturday witnessing Merce Cunningham’s final piece, a site-specific work for Rockefeller Park in Lower Manhattan, as part of the River to River fest. The performance will take place at 6pm on Saturday, and again at 2 and 6pm on Sunday. Maybe hit up all three? More info here. A family movement workshop will also take place on both Saturday and Sunday at 4pm.
On Sunday JellyNYC boasts one of the most stellar shows of the summer at the Williamsburg Waterfront – a Round Robin with Dan Deacon (solo set), No Age, Deerhunter and probably some special guests. Lets just cross our fingers that this one doesn’t get rained out. Gates open at 3!
