DEATH, NYC CITY STYLE !!
\ndown with gruesome, up with . . you know, gritty c-r-e-a-t-i-v-e.<\/p>\n
though, sad to hear their band SISTERS, is no more.
\nguess that’s a kind of . . death.
\nsuch a great name for a boy band duo, or what.<\/p>\n
I caught them live at EASTERN DISTRICT, many summers ago.
\nYELLOW DOGS played that night too.
\nnow that was a kind of death too, and it was NOT by CHOICE.
\nthe very vocal, as in politically dissident . . YELLOW DOGS, the former Persian ‘cool cats’ who fled their homeland, IRAN only to be massacred in BROOKLYN, NOV 2013 – by a berserk band-mate ?
\nwith a friggin’ huge assault rifle.
\nyou can try telling me – that was just another ordinary day in Brooklyn ?!!
\nI’m going to tell you – more like a state-sponsored shut-up take-down, come on – how did the kid score that huge gun in the first place. there was absolutely no, NO follow-up in the media.
\nyou tell me, am I right, or am I wrong ?
\nthey had a huge anti-Iran footprint on the web – at their time of death including a feature documentary.
\nPersian cats . . to yellow dogs – think about it.
\nthough on the other hand, sometimes truth is stranger fiction.
\nand it was . . just death by ‘stealin’ (band equipment) ?<\/p>\n
oh, damn it just bring on the loud music, and shut-the-F-up.
\ngo Brooklyn. bye SISTERS. bye YELLOW DOGS. in fact . . bye EASTERN DISTRICT ?
\nthe biggest people to come out of that scene were the BLACK APPLE duo aka PUBLIC SCHOOL, clothiers.
\nEASTERN DISTRICT – like CINDERS, they sure put on some great shows, and had some great music.
\na lot of great artists you never heard from again had some pretty great shows there.
\nPOSTER BOY & all his pals, a really talented but stayed underground street crew, and – too bad.
\nCASH4 etc etc etc.
\nEASTERN DISTRICT ruled BUSHWICK, and CINDERS ruled WILLIAMSBURG.
\nEASTERN DISTRICT was as a little more hard-edged, outlaw rebel. CINDERS was more, for lack of a better word – more pictorial, alternative, comics-inspired . . narrative.
\nboth had political\/society\/status-quo breakin’ intentions.
\nboth had future-vision. both got no love in the mainstream press.
\nboth venues were hard-core – each on their own turf-side of the sunny-dark street. <\/p>\n
looks like MUDDGUTS . . is finally picking up that hardcore Brooklyn slack.<\/p>\n
oh yeah, the ex-sisters guys: AARON PFANNEBECKER & MATT CONBOY – of DEATH BY AUDIO, made the CINDERS OPENING, too.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/death-by-audio.jpg\" "\\"death-by-audio\\"")
