There are screening of new movies, artist signing, exhibits and a massive collection of comics and memorbilla for sale. If you have the money I would go just for the people watching at this one.

Album Cover Of The Day

The Phenomenal Handclap Band

This project is just AMAZING! I urge you to check them out. They just played Music Hall of Williamsburg last night with Apes & Androids for an Adidas B-Day bash. Pissed I missed it. If you get the chance to catch em' I highly reccomend it.

"The Phenomenal Handclap Band sound is an anthemic, dancefloor-oriented blend of progressive rock, disco, electro, and '60s soul with sprinklings of hip hop-styled orchestral breakbeats and moody, synth-heavy hooks."

You can download a track below

The Phenomenal Handclap Band - Testimony
