Fresh off a tour with punk legends GBH, rock band Outernational is back in New York (their hometown!) and will be playing a special acoustic set this Saturday at Bar 4 in Park Slope.
While traces of the dark, wandering weirdo vibe of Amen Dunes’ Murder Dull Mind remain intact, the blown-out “rock” moments of the former are largely absent, replaced by brooding, skeletal folk insinuations.
Jacob Blickenstaff stopped by Bar 4 last Saturday and snapped some great photos of Inyang Bassey and Moby at our launch party for Brooklyn Beats. Jacob is a music and portrait photographer living in Harlem (although he spent 8 years in Brooklyn) who shoots for Daptone Records, Norton Records, The Ponderosa Stomp, NPR Music and lots of other places. He currently has a solo exhibition of work featuring living soul artists at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music in Memphis, TN.
Brooklyn The Borough debuts a new weekly column with a nod to local trio Knight School and the great state of Indiana.
