Rad Town is the Bed-Stuy based show space / practice space / recording space / fallout shelter hosted by Lame Drivers and friends, located in the basement of Jason’s apartment. The Toothaches, the cool band who lives upstairs and also practices here, already had a sign that lights up and says “rad town” when we moved in, hence the name.

Stevie Moore, Circuit Des Yeux, Starling Quintet, Famous Men, Bird Names, Party Party Partners, Quiet Hooves, Bubbly Mommy Gun, DJ Prince Rama, Ed Schrader’s Music Beat, Vaz, Epileptinomicon, The Polyps, Rhyton, Äss, Family Treasures, Sick to the Back Teeth, McCord, TinniTusk, Sea Lions, Alan Watts, Trees, Sloppy Heads, Platinum Vision

Well we had a great time playing live outside in Fort Greene Brooklyn during the Summer Solstice for Make Music NY, even though they foiled our elaborate stage set up involving the statue of General Fowler and we instead played in front of Mullanes Pub / La Bagel Delight, we still had a great time. We promised a 90-minute set, but got a bit of a late start (we brought all our own stuff even the extension cords, PA, speakers, drum rug, everything!) and were cut off at 8pm so we didn’t get to play all of the songs we’d rehearsed for the show. Oh well, maybe some day we’ll do a 90 minute set but for the foreseeable future all of our sets will be under 30 minutes. Thanks to all of the people who watched us including our friends, Cecil Taylor, people doing their laundry, and these kids who have AMAZING DANCE MOVES to the song “YouTopia”

Lame Drivers is looking forward to participating in Make Music NY, our local Fête de la Musique where 1000+ bands play live outside all over NYC in honor of the solstice. We really wanted to play on Punk Island or join the Wall St iPhone Jam, but are just as excited to be playing live on Fowler Square, at Fulton & Lafayette in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. We’ll be sucking electricity out of Mullanes Bar & Grill via our own extension cables, and borrowing our neighbors’ PA to play before the General Fowler’s statue and in his park.
The best part is that Lame Drivers have a 90-minute set, which is the longest set we have ever had. How will we fill the time? By playing 45 two-minute songs? Or 30 three-minute songs? Will we fill the time with banter? Or with wankery? We’re not sure, but we’ve been working on a lot of new songs and bringing back old ones, so we’re gonna make good use of the time. We would be looking forward to this even more if we knew that you, a reader of this blog, were going to be among the hecklers and passersby. See you on Tuesday at 7pm 6:30pm on Fulton Street!
