ARTANKER CONVOY

Artanker Convoy, Master Musician's of Hop-Frog, Izzttipir, Temple of Bon Matin - The Glass House $5:

If I had to pick only one show tonight, it’d be Social Registry’s Artanker Convoy at the Glass House. A New York Night Train local favorite, Artanker Convoy do their own groove which is sits at an eclectic intersection of all things with butt from the sixties on – from funk to jazz to 60s pop and assorted proggy etheria. So what’re ya waiting for… go already…

George Clinton & The P Funk All Stars - B.B. King Blues Club & Grill $38/$42
Anthony B - S.O.B. $25/$30 –
Contemporary Soundtrack Orchestra New York - Tonic 10PM $10

If the shows weren’t so expensive, I’d definitely say hell-yeah to one of the best live bands ever P-Funk (who shouldn't need an introduction) any day of the week as well as prolific Jamaican "bobo dread" Anthony B - who is definitely at the top of the recent reggae heap. Also, for sound and image, Contemporary Soundtrack Orchestra New York, AKA super-talented Swiss Italian composer Fa Ventilato, is at Tonic accompanying one of the best films of all time Tziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera (1929).
