NY beware: Wooden Shjips invasion imminent

When you wake up free of the shackles of 2009 on January 1, remember one thing: Dos by Wooden Shjips was one of the three best records of the previous 365 days. 

This San Fran band of psych gods is heading over to the fair hamlet where I live to play what will undoubtedly be the most epic Halloween weekend in the history of New York City.

Friday, October 30: The Shjips take over Tribeca along with Silver Summit and Effi Briest, playing selections from the most crucial pagan-suspense-murder-mystery ever: The Wicker Man. The film plays, then the bands will all take turns interpreting songs that originally sounded something like Incredible String Band, and do whatever they please with their selections. At 92Y/Tribeca, 200 Hudson Street.

Saturday, October 31: Sacred Bones present a Brooklyn blow starring our above mentioned Bay Areas heavyweights along with Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, and Religious Knives. At 171 Lombardy Street at Varick Ave.

Citizens of New York City, don't be fucking stupid.  Go to both of these show.  If you don't some really spooky shit like in Halloween 3 will happen to you.
