blink...blink...ON!
You know the sense of nervous dread you've been carrying around? The feeling that even though there hasn't been a Neon Lights Presents... show on US soil in the past four months, that you'll never be truly safe from unexpected attacks of awesome? Well, your most paranoid fantasies have been confirmed.
D and I have been nefariously plotting away indeed, and the time to unleash our evil schemes is at hand...

On Friday, July 6th, Neon Lights will make its Brooklyn debut, bringing a stellar line-up to the stage of Park Slope's Union Hall. Here is said line-up:
De Novo Dahl 11 PM
Mancino 10 PM
Thrushes 9 PM
El Jezel 8 PM
OK, so that's swell, right? You're gonna head on down for a some great bands, cheap drinks, and the bloodsport that is an ongoing DJ battle between Matt Earfarm and Danny, guitarist for the Big Sleep. Then you'll strut back home, catch your breath and wait for us to emerge again...
Like we will on Saturday, July 7th, perhaps?
Oh, snap!
They gve us an inch, and we took the whole weekend. Saturday's bill:
Ola Podrida 11 PM
Via Audio 10 PM
Tacks, the Boy Disaster 9 PM
Botany Bay 8 PM
Providing vinyl wallpaper for this vaguely Austin themed evening will be our favorite Texas ex-pats, Cindy Hotpoint and Pinkie von Bloom of the Rich Girls are Weeping.
Now how much would you pay?
Well, you're gonna pay 10 bucks a pop, so that answers that. Because we are moving up in the world, you can buy advance tickets for both nights at Ticketweb. For the Friday show, go here. For the Saturday show, here. Unless we sell the mutha out, you'll be able to buy tickets at the door. But it won't compare to the feeling of security and pride you'll get from being a big man, on the list.
There will be much discussion of this momentous weekend in the days to come; individual bios, mp3's, and general hype man enthusiasm galore. But I don't want to startle you with too much goodness right away. Our readers are skittish does, and that's how we like them. For now, follow the provided band links, do a little research, and check this spot often. Be our MySpace pals if you like.
I will be bringing this up again.

Nice posters once again. Though the top one is almost impossible to read, I like the play of yarn with actual neon lights effect.
Too bad I'll be missing it again..just barely this time. I'll be in nyc the weekend prior for a silly matrimonial ceremony by a friend making a big mistake (i kid!). Someday the scheduling will work.

That's why it's printed again, nice and neat at the bottom...
