The Library The Library

No, we can't say that The Library advocates the religion church but they do stay out late and absorb. Before Giuliani shut down all the cool New York Punk Rock clubs there was this rumor that the secret basement of Coney Island High was a refuge for teenage vampires. One time we actually went down there. There were no vampires, but that was the first time we'd ever heard Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. It kinda changed our collective life.

Such as it was back then.

One time, during detention, we inadvertently poisoned ourselves with an anti-psychotic medication. We'd try our absolute hardest to rise from our chair and escape the room, but were unable to get any further than thirty feet down the hall before being instantly transported back to said chair. It took eight hours to make it onto the bus home.

By the time we'd graduated college, we'd aged an unfair amount and driven ourselves more than a bit looney.To this our music was a testament.

With this fiery impetus, the kids have set out to inhabit the space where the philosophies of The Wu-Tang Clan, Radiohead, Ennio Morricone, Rush, and Whitney Houston overlap. Fronted by a vocalist that invokes the ghosts of classic-era Bowie and Mariah Carey, the six man-children have recorded an EP. a metropolitan discothèque-dancehall earthquake/earthrape that celebrates tenuousness, uncertainty and the church that is the city.
