"Written sometime between 1598 and 1599, [Much Ado About Nothing] is the first of three comedies that represent Shakespeare’s comic genius at its height. Is Hero’s reputation lost forever? Will Beatrice and Benedick finally admit their love to each other? Will justice be served? All Ages. Posted by Chris at 6:30 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend Mary Weiss at the SeaportDate: Friday, July 18th This is Evan from Hipster Travel's favorite Seaport show of the summer and he assures me that Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las, the Nouvellas (ex-Dansettes), and The Lost Crusaders (ex-Raunch Hands) are sure to please tonight. "Mary was 15 years old when she and her sister Elizabeth (Betty) began singing with identical twins Margie and Mary Ann Ganser in their neighborhood of Queens, New York. They soon shot into the charts with massive hits including Remember (Walking In The Sand), Leader Of The Pack, and Give Him A Great Big Kiss... Fronted by former Dansettes, Jaime and Leah, the Nouvellas are one part Stax Records, one part Black Sabbath and one part "good pop songs." The result is a 60s-influenced rock and roll sound tinged with classic Motown.. The Lost Crusaders -- comprised of renowned East Village rockers, including Michael Chandler formerly of Raunch Hands -- deliver rhythm and harmonies that combine all the good stuff -- rock, gospel, blues and country -- that conjure up classic Americana." All Ages.

Deerhof "forge a distinctive sound out of sophisticated improvisation, fierce dissonance, and weirdly catchy melodies. They’re paired here, via the forward thinking Wordless Music Series, with a world premiere by Metropolis Ensemble, led by Artistic Director/Conductor Andrew Cyr. The Rite: Remixed is a collaboration with composers and live electronics producer/performers Ryan Francis, Leo Leite, and Ricardo Romaneiro, who re-conceptualize Stravinsky’s monumental The Rite of Spring through the lens of the latest sounds and technology from electronica. The work combines keyboards and laptops with huge percussion and brass ensembles to create a futuristic, rhythm-inspired sonic tableau.

Tonight's kid flick is Bee Movie, the cartoon tale of a honey bee in NYC. Besides getting to watch movies outside on beautiful summer nights on the Hudson River, the other thing I like about River Flicks is that the popcorn is always free. Seating is first come, first served, so you and your little ones may want to show up early.

Catch short sets from Rob Cantrell (Last Comic Standing), Hanibal Buress (The Late Late Show), Rory Albahese (The Daley Show), Alex Castle (UCB) and Brent Sullivan (Stand Up NY). 21+ Posted by Chris at 8:00 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend Summer of SammyDate: Friday, July 18th With all the huge, free, summer events going on, sometimes we forget that there are hard working DJs out there holding it down for all of you that just want to go out, kick back a few, and dance a bit. Tonight there's none better then Sammy Bananas, half of Boston's Certified Bananas and one of the tightest producers coming out of the hipster-hop/nu-club world. Sammy spins a mix of shoegaze, break beat and hipster electro all night while the hope crew grill up some food (not free) and even kick it off with an open bar. 21+ Posted by Chris at 9:00 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend Battle of the Bounce-a-holicsDate: Friday, July 18th DJ Shakey, the San York Breaks Crew, and those good old Bounce-a-holics bring a night of assorted breakbeats (finally!) to the LES tonight. DJs Ursula 1000, Gefilte Funk, DJ Shakey, and Barney Iller hold down the night with funk, nu-breaks, baltimore and other assorted diversions from the 4x4 electro that is so ubiquitous these days. 21+ Posted by Chris at 9:00 PM | View This Article | Email to a friend |
