Devendra Banhart + Swap ‘n’ Bop
SUNDAY 22
Devendra Banhart
Long before bearded boys (and some girls) roamed the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Devendra Banhart was the prophet that made being a pyschedelic hippie chic again. The buskers new album What Will Be brings a mix of genre experiments, including dips into stoner rock and even reggae…a slight departure indeed. Check out the more complex Banhart tonight!

Swap ‘n’ Bop
Listen up, all you cheap-a-nistas! Here’s your chance to get A list fashions at a D list price! Designer second hand duds like Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney are dirt cheap at Swap ‘n’ Bop! Basically, a lot of downtown kids are coming together to trade or sell all those gorgeous runway frocks and archival pieces, right down to the knickers, for much needed cash…. It’s kinda sad, but could be a score for you.
