Readin' N Rhythm at Pete's Candy Store w/Octant, Gonul & What Army and more, Sunday, Nov 6th!
Oct 30, 2011 at 11:59 AM
Readin' N Rhythm returns with our third event on Sunday, November 6th at Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Our smokin' lineup features the talented and lovely Rene Steinke (author of The Fires and National Book Award finalist Holy Skirts), one-man and his robots band Octant, special guest poet Craig Teicher (recently published in The Literary Review, Fairleigh Dickinson's kickass lit mag) and a dance party with garage/soul band Gonul and What Army. Avant-garde trio The Brooklyn Players Reading Society and comedic interludes with emcee Jen Werner will keep the night flowin'. Octant’s creator Matt Steinke just happens to be Rene’s little brother so in an attempt to divulge some embarrassing stories, the night will revolve around the theme "Family Ties." If we’re lucky, Rene and Matt might even stop fighting long enough to perform a duet of sorts. Click here for a taste of Octant's awesome live performance and get excited!
The Literary Review will be gettin' the party goin' with a reception before the show. Raffles, giveaways and great literature? Definitely a winning combination. Join us at 7:30 pm in the front room then move on back for the 8:30 entertainment. Oh, and if you’re broke after CMJ and Halloween, no biggie – it’s free! However, every RNR event serves as a book drive for local organization ReadThis, so please bring any gently used books you have for preschoolers through high schoolers. It may sound cheesy but we need to spread the love of art to our young ones – our government sure as hell isn’t! Join the party and RSVP on our Facebook Event. More info on this show and the series can be found on our website.

Underground Show of the Night @ Glasslands
Oct 26, 2011 at 10:20 AM 
Opening up the night at the revered and infamous Glasslands Gallery down on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn, we have some fresh sounds for you. A true underground show and bound to be reelin' and rockin'
In One Wind - One of those multi-textual indie sounds, drawing as much inspiration from Arcade Fire as old folk ballads. For a new band, they have been receiving some favorable press from around the spectrum.
Noble Laureate - fresh band in what appears to be their first show. With weathered musicians from around the block, expect nothing short of sensational. (see below for sample)
Uncles - play sort of a country twang with a punk attitude much like a sadder yet ironic Cake. Judging by their lyrics, seem like they know how to throw a good party.
The Due Diligence - A real party band. Classic rock with a new, raw attitude.
