If you live in New York City and Halloween is coming, you know that there is nothing like a visit from Brooklyn’s own Type-O-Negative to get you into the proper mood. It’s been some time since we have seen these Lords Of Flatbush doing a show in the Big Apple so when they announced this visit we made sure to be around. The exciting bill would also feature both Destrophy and Seventh Void and fall right in the middle of CMJ week. That meant there was a lot of music to enjoy at almost every turn. You can learn about this gig and see all of the photos by clicking the logo below as that will take you to our article on the main PiercingMetal.com site.

Jimmy Duff announces the Lords Of Flatbush

Jimmy Duff, owner of "Duff's Brooklyn"
We mentioned that there was a lot to do during CMJ week and prior to our attending the Type-O-Negative show we hit the Bowery Poetry Club down on the Lower East Side and caught a smoking set from The Texas Hippie Coalition. Sink your teeth into that commentary by clicking HERE.

Nokia Theatre Marquee: Type-O-Negative & Company
I just loved how the colors displayed on the marquee this evening so I snapped a shot of it which you will only see here on the blog and not elsewhere in the main article.

Destrophy's Phil T. (bass) & Ari (vocals/guitar)
After their set I caught the guys in Destrophy at the merchandise booth trying to make the sales that help keep bands like this on the road. I raise the horns to the bands that work the merch themselves after the set as it lets the fans get to meet them which is always a plus for some of the audience who attended the show.

The name of the Type O Negative album relased in 07 is “Dead Again”. . . this article says it’s “Dead After Again”. Just a thought, since Type O negative just linked this article in their myspace blog today. =]

Thanks for catching our “typo” in the Type-O article, that was more resulting from quick coding and not double checking the final draft as opposed to not knowing the name of that fantastic album. It has been corrected. Your invisible gold star for this catch is in the email. Horns up.

Great piece on Mr. Jimmy Duff – The owner of the Metal ‘Mecca’ DUFF’S Bar in Brooklyn.
He is the last of a dying breed – just like Peter Steele and TYPE O NEGATIVE.
