Bush Tetras “Too Many Creeps” the Greatest New York Song Ever?
Posted January 13th, 2011 in press shows

Lots of Bush Tetras tidbits in the press this week… New York Magazine asks “The Greatest Song: “New York State of Mind,” “Across 110th Street,” or “Too Many Creeps”?” Of course you know what our answer is… and we hope it’s yours too!

NPR also has featured the Bush Tetras in their great women in post-punk mix, dedicated to Ari Up of The Slits. Speaking of Ari Up, I hope you’ve heard about the Ari Up Punky Reggae Birthday Party this Sunday at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Full details after the jump…

We also have another special announcement from the Legendary Pink Dots…. it’s no secret that Amanda Palmer loves the Legendary Pink Dots but what we’ve not been able to tell anybody until now is that Amanda has asked them to play the Dresden Dolls very special Halloween show at Irving Plaza!

Of course, since this show is extra special, tickets are already sold out… But fret not, the Legendary Pink Dots are also playing another NYC show on Oct 29 at (Le) Poisson Rouge (tix here). Hell, they’re playing a bunch of other shows across the continent too.
