Posted: February 21st, 2007 | Author: justin | Filed under: FRICTION, events, music, nyc | 5 Comments »

Next month’s FRICTION is about one thing, and one thing only, gettin’ drizzed. That’s right, we’re turning The Delancey into a wall-to-wall sweaty-faced DANCE party, mixing things up with a little hip-hop and electro as we celebrate the 2nd birthday of CrackersUnited.com with a killer lineup featuring Toronto’s Holy Fuck, Philadelphia’s Plastic Little, and New York City’s Vampire Weekend and Dreamburger.

In addition, robot Blair from Music For Robots will be spinning between sets and afterwards and as always, we’ll be hosting an open Sparks! bar from 9:00pm-10:00pm.

Doors open at 8:00pm and advance tickets are available on Ticketweb. Set times are as follows: 11:30pm Holy Fuck / 10:30pm Plastic Little / 9:30pm Vampire Weekend / 8:30pm Dreamburger

 

 

 

“I had the good fortune of seeing these crazy crazy guys perform live a few weeks back at the Mercury Lounge in NYC…it was off the fucking hook. Seriously, totally bananas. Their songs made me want to run around in circles and fall down, or jump up and down and rock-kick my feet out in all directions. It was insanity in a nutshell.” [Music For Robots]

Holy Fuck  ”Junglor” (live at La Tulipe)

“Philadelphia’s four-piece hip-hop crew Plastic Little rocks some seriously funny rap. Like Spank Rock, these guys are dirty, hilarious and have hooks and beats that are entirely addictive. Plus, their influences are diverse. They got the mighty Ghostface Killah to lend his flow to their track “Crambodia,” but Plastic Little have also covered The Cure’s “Close to Me” (with updated lyrics that would definitely make Robert Smith cry, either in laughter or in horror) and have sampled The Smiths and PJ Harvey in their songs. These guys certainly march to the beat of their own drum machine, and have the talent to draw the fans of several music genres.” [Oh My Rockness]

“Vampire Weekend, a quartet of Columbia kids, offer up damn-near perfect pop tunes …with an endearing sincerity we can only hope survives a rocket to stardom. But don’t mistake their earnest ‘tudes for naïveté; the boys write beyond their years, with pointed, often sardonic commentary soaring over ebullient keys in sing-a-long verse.” [Flavorpill]

Vampire Weekend  ”Oxford Comma” (via Earfarm)

“And this must be some filthy IM exchange between members of the ADD teenage ghetto-core mafia, Dreamburger sound like M.I.A. on acid or Fox & Wolf possessed by Satan or something.” [20 Jazz Funk Greats]
