Quintron + Psychedelic Horseshit + Wizzard Sleeve
One-man, multi-instrumental band Quintron bring New Orleans style, swamp-tech indie to the Big Apple. Mr. Quintron is often accompanied by The Drum Buddy, a rotating, light-activated analog synthesizer that he made himself, the Hammond organ, a Fender Rhodes for bass beats, and his mistress Miss Pussycat. It’s a total pretty mess!

Burning Down The House: The Story of CBGB
Fueled by vintage performances by the likes of Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Television, Bad Brains, and The Ramones, this doc charts the history and far-reaching influence of iconic downtown club CBGB and its fight for survival against the Bowery homeless shelter that sought to shut it down. Sonic Youth, Debbie Harry, Ice-T, Fab 5 Freddy, and others share their passion for the anything-goes spirit of the club and its founder, Hilly Kristal.
