New Feature Alert! In a city filled with music, bands and venues we sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed and underenthused. So here's the deal, we are going to write about one NYC band each week. We want to introduce you to some new music that we've heard, and we want you to introduce us to some new music as well (see end of post). We're all listening through cluttered ears, but that's only because we know there's something worth listening to out there.

Gothamist Band of the Week: Overnight
Inquire Within
Gothamist Wants You! Yes, you. We are looking to add some contributors to the ever-expanding Arts & Events section. More specifically we need people who can write two posts a week in one of the following areas:
A Movable Hype Thank You
- And most of all, you, the readers who came out to enjoy an evening of music and meeting new people. Thanks for all your support!
Gothamist Presents Movable Hype, November 16
As mentioned earlier, Gothamist is presenting a show at the Knitting Factory, Movable Hype, on Tuesday, November 16. Our Arts & Events teams have put together a fabulous lineup: Asobi Seksu, Snowden, Sons of Sound, The Fresh, and DJs Tarts of Pleasure. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door (for more info; or just buy tickets). There are also $2 drink specials all night thanks to sponsor Triple 8 Vodka. It should be a great night of music and mingling, plus some special surprises, so we hope to see you there.
Halloweekendry
Gothamist Arts & Events has fantastic Halloween weekend suggestions for what to do, what to watch, and what to listen to. And remember kids, we fall back this Sunday. Yeah, we know, that's mean more darkness (not to mention another hour of pre-election hoo-ha) so Gothamist recommends some sort of reflective clothing for you and your pets.

We hope you're been checking out our wonderful sub-blogs: Gothamist Arts & Events, Ask Gothamist (for advice), Gothamist Food, Gothamist Interview, Gothamist Sports, and Gothamist Weather. Plus the week in full.
Morningside Heights Saturday
You can find more events from Gothamist Arts & Events as well as Gothamist Food.
Some Sunday Activities To Keep In Mind
Tomorrow brings a few exciting but very different activities to partake in: First, there is Broadway on Broadway, a live free outdoor concert in Times Square, hosted by Wayne Brady (soon to be seen in Chicago) and Christy Carlson Romano (Beauty and the Beast), to celebrate the musicals and plays the Great White Way has to offer. Some of the participating shows: Avenue Q, Brooklyn, The Musical (who knew?), Chicago, Golda’s Balcony (which means the awesome Tovah Feldshuh, aka attorney Danielle Melnick from Law & Order, will be there), Hairspray, La Cage Aux Folles, Little Women, Mamma Mia!, The Producers, Rent, Wicked and Wonderful Town.

Today's Hump Day Plans: Bjork, Food, Football Fans
And it's a Wednesday Addams doll in the image...get it?
Coney Island Day
The invisible rabbit emailed us with a link to his post and cool photo gallery of last week's Coney Island Circus Day. Pictured above are the Pontani Sisters, Angie, Tara and Helen. The sisters are touring all over and will be back at Coney Island on August 27th for Burlesque at the Beach.
Summer Heat
- And the voice of the Mets, Bob Murphy dies, and Isiah Thomas continues to shore up the Knicks on Gothamist Sports
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle
The NY Times' A.O. Scott wrote about how Harold & Kumar "revitalizes" slacker comedy while also "persuasively, and intelligently, [engaging] the social realities of contemporary multicultural America." Okay. Rotten Tomatoes says it's pretty fresh and Roger Ebert gives it three stars. And Karen at Gothamist Arts & Events saw the film and gives her thoughts (it's fun).
Is the world ready for a Beach Boys musical?
, a musical inspired by the songs of the Beach Boys. The show began on July 29th and runs through August 2nd.
Burlesque, Hell, and More
And if you want some music stylings, check out Coolfer's weekend picks at Gothamist Arts & Events, which also has the inside scoop on music, film, and other stuff to keep you occupied.
Left on Flatbush, Right on the Great White Way
Gothamist is intrigued to hear that Brooklyn's in da house, not once, but twice in the upcoming Broadway season.
Inquire Within
Quick note: If you want to write for the Arts & Events section we are looking for someone to cover Art and someone to cover Theater!
Weekend Ideas
- See Otis the pot-bellied pig, above, and other animals at the Central Park Zoo (yes, cruel to show Otis and mention a pig roast, but we can't help think Otis is cute AND like eating pork)
Talking About NYC In The Movies
Some movies on the theme: On The Waterfront, Unfaithful (never has the Metro-North been so decadent), and Plaza Suite. And find other great events in Gothamist Arts & Events.
Gothamist Goes Sirening
Gothamist Arts & Events' Jen Carlson and Janelle Gunther headed to the Siren Music Festival and have some choice pictures from the hot Coney Island days of music (that's David Cross in the crowd, above). The NY Times' Kelefa Sanneh thinks concert goers were fortified/stupefied "by a potential toxic mixture of sun, beer and fried clams" (Gothamist loves the accompanying photograph by Rahav Segev which shows the Cyclone, fans, and Death Cab for Cutie). Carlson and Gunther, great pictures, but you left the fried clams out - what gives?

Second Season of Da Ali G Show
The Post's Linda Stasi says, the show is "Brilliant, original, horrifying, cringe-making, hilarious." You can see Da Ali G show on Sunday at 10:30PM on HBO, after the Marky-Mark produced Entourage (which has been getting great reviews) at 10PM. [Of course, there's Six Feet Under at 9PM; if you're been missing out, read Gothamist Arts & Events' recaps.] To catch up, watch some video from the first season and check out Da Ali G glossary.
Music Picks: Tiger Mountain and More
Our good friends, the band Tiger Mountain, are playing at Tis Was, which is at Don Hill's, this Saturday night, 9:30PM. Some of their press has compared their sound as being like the Kinks, Yardbirds, The Replacements, The Flamin’ Groovies, pre-sucking Soul Asylum, and the Stones. Gothamist would simply say that Tiger Mountain brings it and rocks out. You can listen to some of their songs here. And another Tiger Mountain Gothamist loves: Tiger Mountain at the Bronx Zoo!
For other bands to check out this weekend, check out Coolfer's Music Picks. And there's a great new Gothamist Arts & Events feature, Sets and the City, where our team of music lovers profiles and interviews some of the city's band. The first interview is with Madison Strays.
