Europa is a cool club in Greenpoint that has a really cool show tomorrow night: Bonde Do Role with the Deathset, Holy Hail, Gang, and more. Get tix here.
And, they have another cool show on Thursday: Suicide with Aa and Child Abuse and Diako Diakoff. Tix for that one are here.
Plus, they have a pre-show happy hour from doors until the first band goes on with $1 PBR and $3 well drinks. Sounds pretty perfect to me!

If you haven’t heard of JayMay yet, then listen up: She’s from New York and she’s been taking the local singer/songwriter scene by storm. Her new album, Autumn Fallin’, is a beautiful swirl of lilting vocals and soft guitar. She’s a little bit of jazz, a little bit of folk, a little bit of rock, and altogether wonderful. Her lyrics are so straightforward and real–no complicated metaphors to decipher–it almost seems like she might be reading your diary.
Check out her song “Grey or Blue” here and check her out on tour :
