How to be a Witch House Poser

Brush Up on your Salem, Shams and Pendu



If you want to get in on the Witch House scene, read this piece first and enter with dark cred.
For example: Listen to Horror Scores for the Dance Floor Vol. 4, deny the legitimacy of the term "Witch House," and please, please, please have an opinion on Salem, even if only to say that their fame rides on Jack Donoghue's hair.

Ariel Pink, Mongolian Contortionists and 12 Liberty Ponies

THE ROCK & ROLL CIRCUS


Ariel Pink

The Rock & Roll Circus happened over two days in Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park. Punks be Not Proud--a photo essay with pictures of Japanther's performance that ended prematurely--can be viewed on BlackBook.com. Day 1 had performances by the So So Glos, The Pharmacy and Japanther. Day 2 had Ariel pink, Aska + Nick Zinner, Saint Motel and Amazing Baby. While you can see a photo essay up on BlackBook as well, here are more photos of the 2nd night.
