Empty Bottle

If you're still chasing the next sonic high, seeking that elusive set where chaos marries melody and births something beautifully anarchic, Oneida's gig is your ticket. They're back with "Expensive Air," an album that detonates their previous work into a kaleidoscopic frenzy of structured dissonance. Imagine the thrill of careening through an ice storm, but this time, you're laughing as you spiral into the unknown. With the enigmatic Kid Millions and Shahin Motia at the helm, this trio of Oneida, Kinski, and BCMC promises a night where the lines between art and sound blur into oblivion. Think explosive riffs, instinctual improv, and a history that threads through the veins of NYC's punk and experimental core. Whether you're here for the out-of-tune licks or the avant-garde prestige of performances past at the Guggenheim and MoMA PS1, this show is where your FOMO ends and your senses overload. Doors at 8, show at 9; don't be the one who hears about it secondhand.

This Friday night, the sonic underbelly of the city will crack open, spilling its neon guts onto the grimy floors of the DIY haven you've only heard whispers about. Headlining the night, Replicant will unravel your sense of reality with their post-industrial dreamscapes—think Blade Runner meets the Velvet Underground in a haze of smoke and strobe lights. Before that, Slim Neck will shred through their set with the kind of raw, angular guitar work that makes even the most stoic crowds lose their cool. Kaput, the enigmatic trio that’s been the talk of every dive bar in Brooklyn, will deliver a blistering blend of noise-pop that sounds like a love letter to your teenage years spent in rejection and rebellion. And if that isn't enough to get your blood thrumming, Club Drippy DJ will be spinning a late-night set so electrifying, you might just dance your existential dread away. Doors at 9. Show at 10. Bring your best friend or come alone—either way, you'll be leaving with stories you'll pretend not to remember. 21+ only—because this kind of night is not for the faint-hearted.

Alright, fellow sonic explorers and connoisseurs of the cool, get ready to mark your calendars for a night that promises to be as unforgettable as the first time you heard that secret demo from your favorite band. On the docket, we have the legendary Brandon Curtis of Interpol fame, who cut his teeth in the iconic NYC scene with Secret Machines—a band so revered, even Bowie himself gave them a celestial nod. He’s teaming up with the dexterous Jesse Beaman, a globe-trotting maestro who's crafted soundscapes alongside indie royalty and lit up stages with the likes of KAZU and CocoRosie. This duo is set to weave a tapestry of sound that could make even the most hardened audiophile’s heart skip a beat. So, ditch the Netflix queue and come lose yourself in the kind of live music that reminds you why you ever got obsessed with this scene in the first place. Doors at 8, show at 9—21 and up because this isn't just any gig, it's a rite of passage.
