Ringing in the New Year at the stroke are KUDU, nublu's big, dark, disco-death-diva act, who at this point can safely be considered a next-big-thing band. Boston band, Certainly, Sir, balances out KUDU's sound perfectly, with a lighter electro-pop rooted in funky, modulated synth-bass. Langhorne Slim enters the bill out of left field with his punky Americana that somehow inspires uncontrollable dancing. Roy Dank and Brennan Green of Pop Your Funk also inspire the cutting of rugs, playing filthy dance music that's best suited to a pitch black room at two in the morning while you're very inebriated. Luckily, they go on in the black back room of Asterisk at right about that time, and there's free beer for the whole night. To top it off Six8, Cocoa Cracker Brown, Kenosha, and Ben Butler spin throughout the evening. KUDU plays at 11.30p. Certainly, Sir plays at 12.30a. Langhorne Slim at plays 1.30a. DJs Brennan Green, Roy Dank, Ben Butler, Kenosha, Six8, and Cocoa Cracker Brown spin until 11a in two rooms. Asterisk 258 Johnson Avenue, between Bushwick and White, Brooklyn L train to Montrose station 11p–11a; $20 at the door, $15 with rsvp, includes free beer all night rsvp@newreleasenewyork.net http://www.reupmag.com ***reposted from nonsensenyc

SIN DESTROYERS TONIGHT AT NORTHSIX!

Dearest children, It is with great delight that I bear the news of Sin Destroyers' coming show. I have championed their chops and lauded their loudness. I have beatified their beauty and hailed their holiness. I have even rhapsodized their radiance. Put simply, I have never made anything better. Finally, comeuppance have arrived for My most favored minstrels. This Thursday's eve, nigh upon the clock striking nine, Sin Destroyers will take the stage at the honorable North Six in Brooklyn. This is the first venue of proper importance they will grace. Your support is needed now more than ever. I gave you the gift of life, so that you may return the gift of telling every Me- damned person you know to come to this show. Directions and club info can be found at www.northsix.com and tickets can be purchased in advance at www.ticketweb.com (advance purchase is not necessary, but it is cool, search for "sin destroyers"). Did I mention that if you come to any show, it should be this one? I did? I have a hard time thinking straight when I get excited. That explains why I invented mosquitos right after I invented tandem bicycles. On Thursday we shall meet, and in My holy glory, rock will be wailed. Love, God
