Four impressive newcomers play RUMBLE Brooklyn

91

THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN has a line up for December that is like an early Christmas present to you. This Wednesday’s party features a group of bands that have 2010 to open up and blossom and will continue to give us great music for years to come.

Headlining is the mighty MARIANNE the Brooklyn based, Japanese psychedelic freak-out that must be seen to believe. Think ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE meets BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW and you’re getting close.

Supporting will be THE BLOODSUGARS,

Rough Trade’s SHE KEEPS BEES delivers the third Brooklyn artist on the bill, riding in on a glowing review in Mojo and songs like “Gimme” make you want more more more.

Opening up is a real treat, someone we’ve been trying to get close to for over a year now, and up from Brisbane, Australia comes VIOLENT SOHO. We heard “Jesus Stole My Girlfriend”, in all it’s Kobain-like glory and Gil Norton-styled nob twistin’.

The Rumble: Brooklyn is a collaboration between Future Sounds, DEFALCO PRESENTS, SOUND FIX RECORDS and WOXY.COM, but this month we’ve added a new partner that we’re thrilled about – MUSEBOX.

TONY Digs Deeper…

Fresh off their successful Brooklyn Soul Festival, the dusty-fingered record freaks Mr. Robinson and DJ Honky are back with their night devoted to vintage funk and soul. This month’s edition features another in the party’s string of fabled R&B performers, bringing in the four surviving members of the Green Berets, a Chicago soul group that also went by the name Walter & the Admirations. The group’s records are Holy Grails for the Northern Soul scene; this will be its first performance in more than 20 years, and first ever in Gotham. The Sweet Divines and the Divine Soul Rhythm Band open up (the latter combo also serves as the Berets’ backing band for the night).
