We pretty much never play on weekends. UNTIL NOW. Our debut performance at BAM Café at the prestigious and elegant Brooklyn Academy of Music is SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd. Free. All ages! A double-wide set featuring 90 minutes of awe-inducing music including new songs that will break your hard little heart.

Check it out: BAM Cafe Alive
No cover.
No minimum.
ALL AGES.

Just sit in the robber baron luxe vaulted ceiling’ed room and feel it. You can eat or drink something delicious there if you want to but the point is no one will make you eat anything you don’t want to eat.

BAM Café is located:
The Gilman Opera House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Address: 30 Lafayette Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11217

BAM is within walking distance from the 2, 3, 4, 5, Q, N, R, M, G, B, D, and C trains.

For reservations, please call 718.623.4139 or visit BAM Museum

Why not make a weekend of it? Seriously! When do we get to see each other? Leave your cat with a friend if you have one!* (*A friend.) See the majestic umber (brown) foliage! See the remains of Coney Island if it’s not already bulldozed. Walk over the Brooklyn Bridge after the show and just feel the energy coursing through your frothing pelvis.

Hop a Trailways Bus or Net Jet to NYC for the weekend.
