BEST MISTAKES POD / COMEDY SHOW
So True, Bestie (A Queer Comedy Show & Social Hour)
Laughing at ourselves, together.
Best Mistakes Podcast brings you an evening each month for queer night life to restore, rejuvenate, and relate!
Standup comedy hosted by Nika Lomazzo and Anya Volz, taking the time to commiserate about and celebrate our mistakes, life lessons, and growth. Lineup TBA!
Followed by social hour "Get Real" -- a fun way to have deep conversations with people you've never met. Utilizing a psychology-based format and thought-provoking prompts, it's a great way to make new friends with no stress! Hosted by Lincoln.
The vibe of the night is all about putting energy and effort into the human beings that surround us on the dance floor each weekend, or on the train to work each weekday. Investing in the strangers and friends around us, that, when woven together, create the beautiful tapestry of the NYC queer community-- and to carry with us that care and support from this event to the rest of our lives! Bring your besties to and leave with even more besties!
Last Thursday of every month (unless specified otherwise for holidays or special occasions).
Please note the venue requires proof of vaccination and is 21+.

Doors 7pm
Deep Listening IV: Break All the Bones in Your Heart Record Release
Kevin Kenkel, Adam Tendler
KEVIN KENKEL:Kevin Kenkel’s second album Break All the Bones in Your Heart comprises elegiac compositions for synthesizer and sampler, filled with pathos, heady atmospheres of longing and loneliness, unanswered calls, and missed connections. The album’s eleven tracks evoke the familiar sense of alienation experienced when the desire for human contact is mediated by apps and AI chatbots. Yet, at the album’s farthest end, it soundtracks dawn breaking over a far-away city, and to borrow one of Kenkel’s track titles, offers the tentative promise of “a different way to live.” Kevin is an artist and musician based in Brooklyn, originally from Los Angeles. His method of composition is inspired by aleatoric or chance methods, having studied the works of composers including John Cage, Henry Cowell, Brian Eno, Paul Lansky, Elodie Lauten, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and Laurie Spiegel. The exploration and exploitation of developing technologies — especially chatbots and other AI-powered systems for communication — are of paramount interest in his work, complementing his use of analog synthesizers, analog mixers, outboard equipment, and tape recorders.
ADAM TENDLER: Grammy-nominated pianist Adam Tendler is a recipient of the Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists, the Yvar Mikhashoff Prize, and "currently the hottest pianist on the American contemporary classical scene" (Minneapolis Star Tribune), a "remarkable and insightful musician" (LA Times), and a "relentlessly adventurous pianist" (Washington Post) "joyfully rocking out at his keyboard" (New York Times). He has become one of classical music's most recognized and celebrated artists, commissioning major works from composers as diverse as Christian Wolff and Devonté Hynes, and appearing as soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra, LA Philharmonic, and on the main-stages of Carnegie Hall, the Barbican Centre, and BAM.

TASTY LICKS WET SPOT LIVE MUSIC LINE-UP:
Tasty Licks: Violet & the Stanzas, Zoe Briskey, and Stepneck
Zoe Briskey is one of the most exhilarating electronic-pop artists of this generation. Her clever and caring nature can be felt through her lyrics, which center around queer love and the discovery and empowerment of oneself. Self built, self funded, and entirely self produced, she is intoxicating to be around, unabashed in who she is, and unafraid to be herself, both in life and in her music.
Stepneck met on Lex (an app for queer lovers & friends) in fall 2021! Their genre is affectionately know by us as queer, dance, pirate, rock—— and THAT is the best descriptor for it. They are passionate about queer, black, poc, and all marginalized genders feeling seen & heard wherever we are.
