We don’t get too many straight power/prog metal bands playing the bar. It’s seems to be a very European thing and as far as our scene here in Brooklyn, it’s pretty non-existant. Dark Empire not only exist but they fucking rip! I can’t wait.

Marston lends his quick hands [...]

This is a special treat brought to you on Feb 4th by 1000 knives at Saint Vitus Bar. Julie Christmas is the amazing voice of the equally amazing Made Out of Babies and Battle of Mice. Her solo effort “The Bad Wife” came out in 2010 and is a hauntingly beautiful art rock effort. Check [...]
