As Tall As Lions w/ School Of Athens
Wed. June 13th @ Club Cafe 7pm

Long Island's As Tall As Lions have had a history of touring with emo bands but their sound is a more lush ambient pop than emo. They have a rep for some very strong live shows and 2006's self-titled release was well received by both critics and fans.

AS TALL AS LIONS - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

AS TALL AS LIONS - MAYBE, I'M TIRED

Blowfly performs tonight at the 31st Street Pub with Blueprint from Soul Position and locals BZE, J. Malls & Omar-Abdul and The New Alcindors. Blowfly is the alter ego of songwriter Clarence Reid who collaborated with R&B acts from the 60's and 70's ranging from Sam & Dave to KC & The Sunshine band. Reid created the alter ego, hid underneath a low rent superhero costume, to protect his career as a songwriter. Read Manny Theiner's article, "Raunchy rapper Blowfly lands at 31st Street Pub" from this past week's Pittsburgh City Paper. The article examines Blowfly's influence on rap music (1965's 'Rap Dirty' is considered by some to be the very first rap song) and even indie DIY culture. The video here is not of the greatest quality but you get an idea of what the show is about. This content is obviously NSFW due to the lyrical content of Blowfly
