// LEBOWSKI FEST //
Lord. You Can Imagine Where It Goes From Here.
Beyond celebrating the film with us, Lebowski Fest encourages ‘Achievers’ to live the film at our Bowling Parties. So rock your best costume: come Dudes, come Walters, come Maudes! Give us your best, and in exchange, attendees will be regaled with, you know, the usual: live music, trivia contests, White Russians, bowling… And the occasional acid flashback.
Brooklyn Achievers can abide on September 24th at Brooklyn Bowl. Those who purchase a ‘Bowling Ticket’ are entitled to one hour of bowling. If you’re dead set on throwing rocks, we suggest getting there early, ‘cause it’ll be first come first serve on lanes. This is not ‘Nam, Smokey; it’s Brooklyn Bowl. There will be rules.
When you’re not bowling, or for those who have non-bowling tickets, there will be plenty to do: between trivia contests and costume judging, Lebowski Fest has gone ahead and gathered a group of people who all have at least one thing in common (you all love The Big Lebowski, in case that wasn’t clear). Beyond that, Brooklyn Bowl features a Blue Ribbon menu with some of the best comfort food in town. Normally, people might judge you for chowing on some fried chicken while wearing your bathrobe… At Lebowski Fest, you will make a friend for life.
Mark it, dude.

Hailing from the town of Burlington, Vermont, Michetti is a high energy instrumental rock trio that plays mind melting shows with it’s own brand of, “Heady Metal”
Doors 6:00pm :: Show 9:00pm :: 21+
Lead by Raq guitarist Chris Michetti and featuring Greg Stukey, also from Raq, on drums, as well as Rob O’Dea (Page McConell, Deep Soda) on bass, the band continues the Raq tradition of high performance rock and roll, while allowing Michetti’s brilliant guitar compositions, and absolute shredding onslaught to reach new levels of ingenuity and improvisational wonder. Super tight songs, veteran performances, and amazing technical prowess have earned Michetti a reputation for simply blowing people away, from the novice show goer to the experienced aficionado. Most recently, Michetti was awarded “Best unsigned band” by Vermont’s own Seven Days newspaper. Don’t miss your chance to see these real life guitar heroes when they come to plunder your town!

// THE SPRING STANDARDS //
FREE
Featuring Via Audio
Doors 6:00PM :: Show 9:00PM :: 21+
The Spring Standards first sang together in the last summer of the 20th century. The three teens with a common affinity for “oldies” music and harmony spent the better part of the next 2 years playing shows around the Delaware/Pennsylvania area. Influenced as much by their parent’s record collections, their style began to take shape into something a little bit both and a little bit neither. When high school graduation came along, their paths divided; years passed, but before they knew it they were all living within a few blocks of each other in NYC. James, Heather and James are all songwriters and multi-instrumentalists. They use their strengths as a trio to create a sound that listeners might expect from a band twice their size. With an emphasis on 3-part harmony and a variety of instrumental switching, their range and energy onstage make each live show a unique event. The band is currently releasing their debut EP, which they co-produced with Rhett Miller of the Old 97s.
