Today is Elvis’ birthday! Bandleader of Leland Sundries and Greenpointer Nick Eaton sent me this music video of the song “Giving Up Redheads” starring Burlesque Dancer and Actress Lindsay Naas aka Vicky Sin paired with a Long Island-based Elvis impersonator by the name of RELVIS aka Randy Mancini. Directed by Jim Turner, this video is a toast to the king! The video is fun and silly and it’s shot in Greenpoint. The song is totally diggable, too. Below is a song all about Greenpoint called “Monitor Arms,” inspired by the big fire of 2006. Enjoy!
Justin Little from Blaqbook shot this awesome video of my new favorite band The Suzan at our CMJ Showcase at Public Assembly on 10/16/12. Thanks Justin!
Greenpointers is so excited about our CMJ Showcases on 10/16 & 10/20.
First a music video by Backwords, one of the awesome bands playing at Delinquency on 10/16. Next is a video of Il Albanico, who will be playing at Matchless on 10/20. Last is just funny. The band Cool Serbia is pretty rad, too! They are playing this Saturday 10/13 at 171 Lombardy in Greenpoint.
Loyal reader Xenia Rubinos submitted this video that is filmed in Greenpoint. It will wake you up so turn the sound down before you hit play. She described herself a “CubaRican” and made this “Puerto Rican Punk” video along with the filmmaker Francesco Lettieri and her drummer/coproducer Marco Buccelli (both sound eyetalian to me) as an ode to the “beautiful city we live in!”
