The New York Times, March 23rd 1990: an article on The Lizard's Tail and other Brooklyn clubs. Archived article hereâit starts, "What makes Brooklyn clubs so nice is similar to what makes the borough itself pleasant: smaller crowds, less pressure and more variety than in Manhattan. While the level of talent is not as high as in Manhattan, that is not always the point. Brooklyn clubs, if one can make generalizations at all, are good places for novice musicians and artists to learn about stagecraft, to experiment without the fear of failing in front of high-paying audiences. Brooklyn offers surprisesâthe chance of coming across a group or a musician who is enormously proficient, but not yet known. And at cheaper prices, and in a more relaxed atmosphere." — <p>The New York Times, March 23rd 1990: an article on The Lizard's Tail and other Brooklyn clubs. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1990/03/23/arts/pop-jazz-tomorrow-s-stars-today-in-brooklyn-s-small-clubs.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm">Archived article here</a>âit starts, "What makes Brooklyn clubs so nice is similar to what makes the borough itself pleasant: smaller crowds, less pressure and more variety than in Manhattan.
