It's 78 degrees! Celebrate by rocking out! Tonight at 8pm, come out to Union Pool (484 Union Ave) for the North Brooklyn Story Project Benefit Concert. Suggested donation is only $5, all of which goes to funding the oral history project. Here's all the info on the bands:
The Blue Album Group play Weezer's Blue Album straight through, note for note, with all
the vocal harmonies, ripping guitar solos, and cardigan sweaters
intact (or should I say undone?).

Rebecca Schiffman was born in 1982 in New York City. She studied cello and piano
from a young age. In 2000, while attending The Cooper Union School
of Art, Schiffman began to play bass guitar for the pop-punk band
Pearl Harbor, which featured Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Rival
Schools) on drums, Ryan Stratton (Walking Concert) on guitar, and
Masayoshi Nakamura on vocals. Schreifels began producing
Schiffman's recordings and in 2003 her first album "Upside Down
Lacrimosa" was released on Some Records. In 2008 she recorded her
second album To Be Good for a Day with Mike Musmanno in DUMBO,
Brooklyn.
Vice recently dubbed that album their "Album of the Month."

The Roulettes were born in an Oberlin, Ohio basement, where they practiced on
borrowed equipment next to a leaky washer/dryer combo. They grew up
playing basement and living room parties to crowds of adoring fans
and a few aghast fools who didn’t get their jokes. After
moving to Portland, the Roulettes met up with label Lucky Madison
to create the first ever LM release, a self-titled EP recorded at
Portland’s Jackpot! Studios with engineer Larry Crane
(Sleater-Kinney, Stephen Malkmus, etc.). The Roulettes EP finds the
band bouncing from the pressing issues of yesteryear (film students
with dinosaur-sized egos on “Crabs”) to love as seen
from a creaky Ferris wheel (“Motorcycles in the Mist”)
to straight up hot shit dance tracks (“Hot Ticket”)
faster than you can pour another bourbon.

About The North Brooklyn Story Project
The North Brooklyn Story Project (NBSP) is a new initiative of
Neighbors Allied for Good Growth (NAG), a community organization
that has been serving North Brooklyn since 1994. The project was
developed to encourage residents to come together and help build a
vibrant and friendly North Brooklyn community. NBSP is raising
money for recording equipment that will be used to document, share
and store the stories of Greenpoint and Williamsburg residents.
NBSP is looking for people with stories to share about the
community and people who can listen to and record these stories.
For more information, or to become involved with the project,
email: Gregor (
