A few interesting things happened at our first show in Crown Heights, which took place at the backyard of Homage Burger & Bar.

Quiet Hooves, Bird Names, Darla Farmer at a backyard in Crown Heights

quiet hooves homage

Quiet Hooves, a gang of lovable hooligans from Athens, Georgia, was my favorite discovery at this year’s SXSW. Whether it was playing a hill top at 2AM or rocking out at the back of a thrift store, it seemed like they were always the ones up to most interesting things. They’re currently touring with Bird Names, an experimental pop outfit from Chicago, and both are stopping in New York for a few dates. Naturally, we jumped on the chance to host a show for them, and it’s gonna be on May 25th; in Crown Heights no less (official home of this blog); at the backyard of a burger joint, even; open to the public for FREE, what’s more! On Memorial Day, say what?! So why don’t you put on your herb-fries-loving best and come out?!

Featuring live sets from Quiet Hooves, Bird Names and Darla Farmer.
