DJ Swindle and Frank Lyon'sAlmatic, an occasionally splendid commingling of Nas and Al Green.

Transcendent Concert Experience

Declining at that show to explain to Ultragrrrl that you missed the opening set from Permanent Me, the Long Island band she's evidently managing, because you were in Queens at the time eating a grilled cheese sandwich.
