MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND ROCK SHOW AND COOKOUT! It’s the unofficial start of the summer and we’ve got a whole bunch of NEW for you to kick it off. Kerbivore will celebrating the release of their new EP, All Dressed, 5 songs whose melodies are as powerful as the brute force of the band’s instrumental attack. (Yes, that’s stolen from their press release but I wrote it, so it’s OK). Cassettes will be available for purchase at the show. Check it out here: unblinkingearrecords.bandcamp.com/album/all-dressed Brooklyn noise-niks Rathaus will be making both their Staten Island debut and in all likelihood, an unholy racket. Slam if you want to. Or don’t. They don’t give a flying V. rathaus.bandcamp.com We’ve also got TWO bands playing their first shows ever. Wheels on Meals comes to you from the mind(s) that brought you Brownwater, Blank Postcards, Muddy Buddies and The Grand Pantrymen. Will likely ditch their name by the time they play next so this may literally be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Stark Relief is an acoustic project featuring local legend JT (Sleeper/Serpico, Darien/Amber Jets) and local hero Jerrold Kavanaugh. Come see for yourself what Apples and (nickname redacted) have in store for you. DJs Paul Bruno and Baricuda will spinning all the songs your mother warned you about before, between and after the bands. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a cookout with food. The menu has yet to be revealed but KC Pugs has definitely got some eats up his sleeve. Hopefully not literally. This magnificent evening of entertainment begins at 7pm in the opening airiness of Mother Pugs backyard (weather permitting) and will only set you back 6 American dollars.

Saturday, May 23rd Mother Pugs 1371 Forest Ave, SINY 10302 KERBIVORE RATHAUS WHEELS ON MEALS STARK RELIEF DJs Paul Bruno & Baricuda Doors @ 7pm $6
