KT and I went to a Dungen upcoming album listening party last night at a hip new space in the heart of the NYU Village…where I don’t typically hang out, as I’m a little old for the area…and had a great time! The venue is called (le) poisson rouge, which is a beautiful space where we got to see Dungen mastermind, Gustav Ejstes on grand piano and vocals along with new drummer, Johan Holmegard, play a stripped down set of old and new tunes. The sound was fantastic and the performace was absolutely beautiful. And I got some great pics…
Oh yeah, and the new album, 4, is quite possibly their best yet. It will definitely be up there with Ta Det Lugnt. Pick it up when it drops in September!
Oh yeah #2…be sure to visit The Stoned Crow pub when you’re in the Village. We had an absolutely great time there, didn’t feel old like you do at other Village bars, and had a great bartender who served our “Absinthe Ritual”. Wow, that stuff fucks with your head! Some after-hours pics at the end of the post…
