Easy Star All-Stars
This Wednesday at the Stuyvesant Town Oval, go see the Easy Star All-Stars, a reggae dub band whose covers of such greats as Radiohead, Pink Floyd and the Beatles are sure to make you shake your groove thang. Nothing like free outdoor music in a muggy Manhattan summer.
"Life's dirty. Life's unclean. It's birth, it's sex, it's the intestinal tract. One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right? Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey pies. That's us. We're fabulous."
