Brillobox
Just found out about a much needed new venue in Pittsburgh. It is on Penn Ave. somewhere near Main St. I guess it has a bar and restaurant in it. It was formerly Penn Cafe Nooners and for a short time Zooty's. Not sure how big it is, but the Black Angels are playing there this Friday, and I'm not going to be able to make it.
The Black Angels (Austin, TX) currently only have an EP released at this time. Listen to Black Grease from their self-tilted debut.
Other upcoming shows that I dug up while surfing the ol' internet (Brillobox has no website, yet) are some Pittsburgh locals Dirty Faces and The Working Poor. Also, psych-pop vets Elf Power take the stage on November 16. Nice to see they are getting some national acts already.
Read the Pittsburgh City Paper article on this new space.
Posted by Matt Niemi at October 18, 2005 3:03 PMHey Matt check the city paper about this joint. It's right across the street from your favorite pizza place Graziano's (so we can drink super cheap, possibly even catch a nap at a table before our favorite indie rock shows)It used to be Nooners. Ah Nooners, it was the best that South Bloomfield/Northwest Lawrenceville had to offer. I through darts there when i played for Sonny's Tavern, alcoholics, crackheads, speed freaks, junkies, it was practically paradise.
