Hi basket-friends.
OK- I haven't posted a gig notice in a bit- I try and save it for the cooler venues.
This is one of them- NUBLU is on Ave C btwn 4th and 5th st- there's no sign, just a little blue light outside
$10 cover and they have a good bar with nice fancy euro beers - NUBLU is a cool place to hang out.
BILL McHENRY tenor saxophone (yours truly)
DUANE EUBANKS trumpet - Duane is Kevin's brother of tonight show fame- he's my favorite trumpeter of his generation
BEN STREET on bass - world class
RJ MILLER on drums- he actually made it to a UK gathering! A bad boy himself.

anyway, we play tonight and every Monday this month from 10pm to 1am. Hope some of you can make it.

From my googling......it seems like a nice spot.

I may head out there for a few. I could use some jazz in my life.

Very interesting.....I know a cheetos eater when I see one.

Hey man, I play out in NYC every other week and don't post those gigs!

haha...

Maybe I should?

Not sure if people will be into what I spin so I keep it on the low low. Maybe though.

Yeah, it's just my regular gig so I don't post it. My group, The Impossebulls, was going to perform with Public Enemy (whose label, Slam Jamz we're on) during their recent shows here, but members couldn't make it so we reneged.

Respect to you as an artist and performer of "non-pop" music 93Buick! Part of my interest, pursuing an MSW, is to work on facilitating more opportunities and money for folks who aren't doing just mainstream music and therefore don't get paid as much for their work.

I have sense a big problem with the American music scene, including NYC, and part of why I am planning to bounce by the end of the year. There was a fantastic documentary I caught on PBS recently narrated by Forrest Whitaker that went into the downslide of American music culture into corporate manufactured entertainers that are far more about selling an image than anything else.

Let me not hijack your thread though.

Congrats on the recent positive press too.

Peace!

Peace, eVil!

I'm down with checking your group sometime too, and if you ever are interested in a DJ to play with you all live, like to do cuts/scratches, I'd be interested. I have done that for my group, and several others primarily, although now I'm doing more production work.

Actually, the gigs I was referring to was my own DJing live. I play every other Sat. at a lounge Uptown, called Sip. It's a real chill spot, with a good vibe. It's modeled a bit after my podcast called 'Indelible Beats' which is an eclectic mix of what I consider to be dope beats and rhythms of all genres for dancing or 'head nodding.' Of course, I've been fortunate enough to have worked with and be on the label of my idols, Public Enemy, which I sometimes still can't believe, but I love and play sht more than hip-hop now-a-days.

Ok, here's a cheap promo for my gig to hijack 93Buick's thread:



I have always been down with hardcore, punk and rock, even though I don't play a lot of it live. I used to do a crazy fusion show in college that mixed hardcore/metal and whatever I felt like which was great.

What I can say is I always support artists/musicians trying to do there thing in a city that seems less and less conducive to living that life, unless you have certain assets many don't. That's actually part of why I am so interested in doing the work I do outside of music.

Peace and mad respect to all musicians and artists!

haha...you funny eny.

That sounds exactly like what I imagined the convo to go too...haha

Naw...chill...

You should pull through some time though. They just did some renovations which are pretty cool, and the mixed crowd is cool, although sometimes a challenge when spinning, with so many different tastes.

I was there last night since my boy DJ Know1 was playing, and I like chilling there anyway. Good peoples, and less b.s. than a lot of other spots, especially downtown (and I'm from there).

PresIke when are you at Sip. I go to Columbia so that's really right around the corner.

Hope your gig went well, Buick!

metra,

I'll be at Sip this coming Saturday, and then every other Saturday afterwards (usually). Hope you can come through.

Peace!

sounds were amazing. the music was hypnotic, enveloping, transporting. all of that!

nice club. real chill vibe.

as always a pleasure to hang with eny and buick. and buick's drummer rj who had come to bbq and a game with us once before.
