FOR THE BIRDS

Myself and the other folks who brought you The Big She-Bang have finally settled on a moniker. We are now known as FOR THE BIRDS. We are a feminist collective & distro. We will book your feminist event, art show, punk show, whatever. We will distro wherever. Just get in touch!

Also: I drew the logo above.

::::::::::::::: MISSION STATEMENT :::::::::::::::

FOR THE BIRDS is a New York City-based feminist collective. We are interested in establishing alternative spaces that promote the creative interests of women and women-identified community members. For The Birds is a collaborative group of organizers with backgrounds in feminist social justice work and various artistic pursuits. Through DIY feminist cultural activism, For The Birds aims to empower and support radical women of action.

As a collective, we intend to connect with other groups to create a feminist network through a collaborative blog, shared resources, semi-annual zine, and future events. We aim to foster more of a visible presence of women at community events with a distro featuring feminist voices. We plan to host events like skill-shares, discussions, forums, art and music shows.

We are the collective that brought you The Big She-Bang 3. More information on that can be found at http://myspace.com/thebig_shebang

If you are interested in organizing or collaborating with us, please get in touch!

CARNAL KNOWLEDGE ADDED TO D4 SHOW

[poster by Black & Red Eye]

WE JUST GOT ADDED TO THIS SHOW TOMORROW NIGHT!

"mornin New Yorkers...

TONITE is the nite!

DILLINGER 4's record release party @ a brand new venue, the DANBRO STUDIOS WAREHOUSE !

DANBRO is a gorgeous, mid-1800's vintage, raw warehouse space in the East Williamsburg Industrial Park. Shows happen in an ancient, dramatic vaulted room that used to house stores of grain for the building's original incarnation: the Goldenrod Brewery, a once famous Brooklyn brewery that folded after the 1930s due to Prohibition.

Just look for the landmark smokestack that reads "VD 1858" - the bands play next to the base of that stack! Right around the corner from the Montrose L stop.

[ DILLINGER 4 ]
"Dillinger Four is an influential American punk rock band based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Formed in 1994. Current members are Lane "Monkey Hustle" Pederson (drums), Billy Morissette (guitar, vocals), Erik Funk (guitar, vocals), and Patrick "St. Paddy" Costello (bass, vocals.) Funk co-owns the Triple Rock Social Club, a popular bar and music venue in Minneapolis." - Wikipedia
-- MYSPACE / MP3s --> http://myspace.com/dillingerfour

[ THE ERGS ]
grungy pop punk infused with a healthy dose of Hüsker Dü and Replacements era Minneapolis. Great songs, savvy players, smart angst. From New Jersey. Catch them now, because this is their last show ever in New York City.
-- MYSPACE / MP3s --> http://myspace.com/theergs

[ THE MEASURE ]
coed punk rock pop from New Brunswick. "Can you bottle exuberance? Just sheer joy? Can it be dabbed behind your ear like a perfume? It sure as hell can be captured on vinyl and The Measure's got its number: über-earnest, let's-get-this-shit-right, dual vocals DIY punk that’s disregarding paint-by-numberisms... Like a supercharged Discount? Like watching otters magically frolic and play instruments? Like the best basement show, glasses fogged, windows steamed? Contagious? Yes, yes, and yes." – Todd Taylor @ Razorcake

[ CARNAL KNOWLEDGE ]
hardcore punk from 4 Brooklyn women. "The riffs are crazy catchy like early-era Reagan Youth with dashes of modern influences I can't put my finger on. They accomplish the ever so difficult task of mid-tempo punk/hardcore without falling victim to boredom. Some of the angriest most heartfelt lyrics I've read from a new band in a long time that touch on a wide variety of subjects ranging from politics to personal relationships. I had the chance to see this band live and they don't disappoint. Don't sleep on this." - Maximum Rocknroll. Their 2nd to last show ever.
