We’re posting this because (a). the graphics for this performance amused us in an odd way and (b). it amused us even more because the venue is “The Yard,” the performance space on the Gowanus that until recently housed the Issue Project Room and now is home to show being put on by Mean Red Productions. Today’s offering is the Paul Green School of Rock Music, which is the original performance based, interactive music school, founded in Philadelphia. Here’s some verbiage from the email:
The School of Rock All Stars are comprised of the best, brightest, and hardest working students from the various branches, the All-Stars have but one mission: TOTAL ROCK DESTRUCTION.
To date The Paul Green School of Rock students have played over 350 concerts to more than 100,000 people. The All Stars have performed on stage with such name-artists as Peter Frampton, Jon Anderson (from YES), Alice Cooper, Adrian Belew, John Wetton, Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, and more.
The Yard is located at 400 Carroll Street, next to the Carroll Street Bridge. Doors open at Noon. Admission is $12 and $8 for students. The Yard, by the way, has a myspace page that you can check out here.
