03:10 PM - Harlem Shakes / PLUG Brooklyn show Friday

View original photo

The Harlem Shakes are a band who have made a name for themselves around town by opening for most of the great acts to come through over the past year, and it doesn't look like it will be long before they're headlining the same venues themselves. No downloads for you, but check the tracks on their myspace page - including two of the earlier demos which remind me of something between old local faves of mine The Atomic Missiles and perhaps OK Go. The new track ("Carpetbaggers") is much more developed and stronger though and well, sounding good!

The Harlem Shakes join other local favorites Takka Takka, Dragons of Zynth, and Illinois in co-headlining the Brooklyn stop on the PLUG City Hilights tour (did you vote yet?) - also DJ's Finger on the Pulse all night (we mean it - until 4am!). They ran a contest on imeem.com to pick the opening band for the show and... well, um... Man in Gray won. No joke. So MiG will open the show. I swear this was not supposed to be a self-promotional post but I'm definitely not complaining that it worked out that way.

Tomorrow - Friday, November 17th at the Syrup Room (directions) in Brooklyn. Show starts at 8pm and it's FREE but you must RSVP at http://plugbrooklyn.imeem.com - I suggest that you RSVP if you're even considering going just in case - you wouldn't want to get out there and not be able to get in. This is going to be one hot show.
