Genre is Death live at Berlin

Photos by Stacie Joy

We 🖤 Genre is Death. 

We also have a stash of photos from the noise duo's last EV show, which took place on April 3 at Berlin, 25 Avenue A and Second Street, as part of a record release show for Star's Revenge.

Here is Ty Varesi and Tayler Lee in action...

Follow them on Instagram for upcoming shows. On May 18, they are collaborating on A Black Tie Nite of Noizz & Words at Madame X on West Broadway.

And a bonus photo from last week as Ty celebrated a birthday at 96 Tears on Avenue A...

Another local duo, The Acute, out with a new full-length release, will play Berlin this Saturday evening. (It's a great place to catch some bands up close for not much $$$.)

In a New York Groove

This past Thursday night, Hayley Griffin (above right) hosted her New York Groove Party at Berlin, the music venue below 2A at 25 Avenue A. 

The Silk War were the headliners with a record release party. (Singer-songwriter Alexandra Blair is on the left in the top pic). 

EVG contributor Stacie Joy stopped by for part of the evening, which included a set by local singer-songwriter Fiona Silver and her band, guitarist Guy Fiumarelli, bassist Steve Salerno and drummer Sonny Ratcliff ...

Stacie had another commitment and couldn't stay for the whole show... but she did catch DJ Bailey Leiter's turn in the DJ booth (you may know her from her Hello Banana vintage shop on First Avenue) ...

... and captured a few other moments ...
