Baker Falls venue in NYC needs help to square up with folks starting with artists and our wonderful team after a year-long struggle to build our community and stay open.

A soul night in a punk rock tiki bar? This I gotta see! a man once remarked to DJ Connie T. Empress, founding member of the Empire State Soul Club (ESSC). If you feel the same, you should know that the ESSC takes over the back room at Otto's Shrunken Head in the East Village on the second Saturday of every month, with Empress spinning her 45s along with a changing roster of guest DJs for a room full of happy dancers who are guaranteed to hear more than a few discs that they've never heard before.

I want to run it in a smaller theater, and look into the eyes of everyone in the room. I have so much history on the Bowery - I played CBGB's as a kid, and grew up in the neighborhood. My grandfather sold liquor to the bars up and down the Bowery. It's nice to go back to the scene of the crime. There are a lot of beautiful ghosts and spirits on this sacred ground.
K-pop powerhouse MONSTA X kicked off the show, making their triumphant return to MSG for the first time since their We Are Here tour (in 2019). The performance marked a full-circle moment during the group's 10th anniversary year, with members Shownu, Minhyuk, Hyungwon, and Jooheon delivering their signature high-energy presence. The setlist included N the Front, new single Baby Blue, fan favorites like Do What I Want,
"There are lots of questions in the lyrics, a lot dealing with the idea of: You wanted this, didn't you? What do you do now that you have it? Is it what you expected? There is also a moment of humility towards the end, with the acknowledgement that even if we don't necessarily want to 'work' there is a power in being a part of something larger than yourself."
What began as casual rehearsals in a basement has evolved into a polished, high-energy sound that blends the city's grit with a fearless approach to experimentation. Pan Arcadia is a five-piece band that has grown from high school jam sessions to one of New York's most exciting rising acts. Hailing primarily from New York, with drummer Brian representing Connecticut, the group's members met in middle and high school and have been making music together ever since.
