Photos from last night’s Art Brut show at Bowery Ballroom.

Last year when we saw Art Brut at Southpaw, the little brother was still 25. Perhaps his 26th birthday is later in the year.

My fave band for the past 8 months is hitting town tonight in their first of 3 stops in NYC on their current tour. At this point in their rock star career, an afterparty is a definite must. We have tix for tomorrow’s show at Bowery Ballroom, but upon finding out that they will also hit Southpaw–like 10 blocks away from home–we swapped tix with one of karen’s pals. Come next Wednesday night, I will have seen them TWICE! sorry… couldn’t resist the pun.
