Music Review: Unimpressed at New York City’s Knitting Factory

Authored by Chris Fulenwider on March 2, 2007 - 6:01pm.

The Knitting Factory is one of the best music venues in the city. I walked into the main venue on February 27th after grabbing a drink at the front bar, paying no attention to the music. I posted up with two friends and we took frothy sips of our cold beers before taking note of the catastrophe happening on stage. The shock to the system was so profound that I didn’t even know what instruments were being played. I can tell you that the band, which calls itself Lucibel Crater, was comprised of three members. The lead singer, to my astonishment, was looping poetry on top of poetry on top of poetry. It reminded me of a story about a friend in San Diego, Frank, who lived in an apartment complex across from another friend, Big Red, and the legendary haze that took place one hot afternoon.
