nye in nyc.

New York City seems to be the hottest place for good music this New Year's Eve. We are quite unfortunate to have very few good shows scattered throughout the fifty states, however, we have truly been blessed with the performances available in the Big Apple for '05/'06. For those that love the electronic beats and trancey sounds flowing from the amplifiers, I would suggest going to see The New Deal (B.B. King Blues Club), Infected Mushroom (Spirit), The Disco Biscuits (Hammerstein Ballroom), or Brothers Past (Bowery Ballroom). Some other great jam bands to check out if you are in NYC for the dropping of the ball, are Gov't Mule (Beacon Theater), North Mississippi Allstars (Madison Square Garden), U Melt (Coda) and Toubab Krewe (The Blue Note). The cool thing is, is that most of these shows are set up so that you can attend one after another and not miss a slobbering, drunken, New Year's beat. Cheers.
