Ever heard of Acoustic Snuff Core?  Well, you will after tonight: Friday, October 15^th at the Alphabet Lounge.  At 7:30pm, New York City’s Gunfire-N-Sodomy will own the stage and take it as a prisoner.  No band in the history of metal has ever attempted what you will see GNS do tonight.  Their highly original band setup will grab you by the throat and then by your ears.  GNS invented a sound that is both disturbing and intoxicating.  Though heavily influenced by bands like Slayer, Six Feet Under, Decide, and GG Allin & the Murder Junkies, Gunfire-N-Sodomy has created their own brand of brutality with only an acoustic guitar and two voices born of fire, which are sure to leave a permanent scar on your brain. Filth provides the “Death Growls,” while Mule delivers the “Sodomizing Screams.”  The Acoustic Axe is shredded by Slit.  Do not miss this innovative performance, which is live TONIGHT.

THURSDAY OCTOBER 21^st: Kendra Morris

The Living Room-154 Ludlow St (Between Rivington St & Stanton St); 8:30pm

SATURDAY OCTOBER 30^TH: Rosewood Ghosts,

Halloween weekend is always a great time to head out and do something exciting.  If you’re in the mood for some live rock music, you need to make a point to head over to The Bitter End in New York’s West Village. Once you arrive, prepare to get your face melted by the six-pieced Rosewood Ghosts.  Frequent visitors to LocalBozo.com probably recognize the band’s name, with a sound that can best be identified, as “Post Classic Rock.”  But this tremendous band is so much more than that.   The Bitter End is known for their historic roster of talent and their incredibly intimate space. This will truly be a Halloween treat for your MF’n ears.
