Paranoid Larry and his imaginary band
Paranoid Larry was discovered several years ago on a rooftop here in DUMBO by a video location crew. Since then he’s performed regularly with his imaginary band throughout the country. A highly unique show, blending music,satire, insanity, romance, push-ups and humor.

Joey Cutty samples and scratches live, he’s the kind of dj that’s fun to watch!

Asako Fujimoto
Asako Fujimoto plays analog synthesizer, glockenspiel computer & little tribal instruments. The result, AsakoMusic, is dreamy and spacey, and sung in different languages.

Fa Ventilato
Sound and mash-up artist Fa Ventilato’s freestyle approach incorporates the art of looping, real-time composing and sampling with simultaneous dj-mixing skills. We think this is some of the more interesting music you’ll hear. And he’s very handsome, ahem.

Kenny will make you dazzle!!! change your looks & your life with a precision haircut by master hairstylist Kenny!!!! Last week this was a lot of fun, four of us in the office got GREAT haircuts.

Katja Loher
Katja Loher projects her video works onto the surfaces of weather balloons and transforms them into Video-Planets. In Video-Tellurium (2008 work-in-progress) Katja Loher moves the viewer temporarily away from earth into the darkness of space and shows our planet from an exterior perspective. (katjaloher.com)

  • This seemed to be a very happening place. It was closed when I strolled by, but I had to look in, and the little lakes drew me in. I’d love to check the scene on my next visit.
