"Choosing a single favorite DIY venue in Brooklyn is sort of like Sophie’s Choice – if Sophie had like 50 kids but could still only save one. And with Market Hotel apparently still bogged down in legal nonsense, the tiny Shea Stadium is our pick. The place run by a great local band, The So So Glos — which means it’s plugged in to great, new acts — along with producer Adam Reisch, who records and mixes all shows so performers will have great-sounding live material. Shea also boasts a pretty nice concrete balcony — a great place to cool off between sweaty sets."
"Shea Stadium is the type of brilliantly trashy music venue/recording space that bleeds a working class rock and roll vibe—which is perfectly suited for the band’s almost constant record, tour, repeat philosophy."
Saturday November 6 - Chocolate Bobka Presents: Sore Eros & Mountainhood Album Release Party w/ Double Entendre, White Laces, Sultan, No Demons Here & Animal Hospital
"If you have to see new bands (and you do, let’s face it), there’s nowhere better to see them than the confusingly named Shea Stadium. First of all, there’s that delicious moment every time someone tells you that they’ve just been to a show there and you’re honestly confused, picturing a baseball stadium. This is half the fun! Suddenly, unbidden, your mind tries to juxtapose Dinosaur Feathers with cracking bats and stinky peanuts. This only lasts a second, because you know Shea Stadium is a venue. It’s a nice venue, actually, with a bar, kind of, lots of space and that cool roof that sort of feels like you shouldn’t be on it! Couple this with the crowd (younger but not prettier than you) and you’ve got a damn fine place to catch next month’s hot new thing today."
This is a conceptual party--lit entirely by candles, projectors and 500 glowsticks. Shea is a loft space near the Grand St. L train. All the bands are strictly analog. <3
