Last night I fell down a hipster rabbit hole.  I’d paid five dollars for this concert, but upon entering the venue I was told the show was free and that I could have my money back.  Awesome!  It only grew stranger.  Why was a midget Kiss cover band opening for two Brooklyn bands du jour?  Why was the concert free?  Where was everybody? Why were there approximately twenty people at a free show that would’ve been packed anywhere else?

I don’t know, but the Mini-Kiss act was basically karaoke, Oxford Collapse was great, and Ninjasonik was kicked offstage after three songs on account of excessive horseplay.  By that point, there were ten members in the audience, an enormous, empty dance floor, and a lot of pissed off staff members (see bottom photo).  Best show ever.
