Pianos and Scaryville

The other night we saw Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears play at a bar called Pianos on the Lower East Side. I turned to hubby at one point and said, "They remind me of one of the plays that main character in Rushmore would put on." If that doesn't mean anything to you: they were just intensely original, with balls-out flair and flourish. Every song was a story (including one about an old woman who got revenge on the teenage boys who used to torment her), and the music was dramatic to match... learn more about them on their MySpace page and at bryanscary.com.

Side notes:

• When you search for "pianos" in Google, this bar is the first place that comes up. I find that fascinating. I guess piano music and history is of less interest than hipster hangouts.
  
  
• The bar is in what used to be a piano store...they left the sign out front, hence the name. I like that.
