Last night, despite a mind numbing headache, a long day of walking and two pints at 1849 (the best happy hour in the city that I've seen), I headed over to Sin-e to see one of my favourite bands bopping around NYC right now- Band of York.
On a Sunday night, Sin-e wasn't that filled but after the group started to play their brand of infectious dance/rock/soul, more people began to curiously poke their heads around the door and trickle in.
Sin-e has a nice stage, decently priced drinks, a near perfect location and a good sound system and yet they can never really pack the place. I think this has to do with the high ticket prices. For a place like Sin-e, to see a band you don't really know anything about, 10 bucks is a bit too high- at least I wouldn't pay it. Their money policy with bands/parties I think also is a deterrent for big things to go on there. This isn't a swipe, if anyone from Sin-e is reading this, but rather a note of concern because I think this place could do a lot better than it currently does.
Anyway, as always I had a great time seeing B.O.Y. I think I fall in love a little more with front man Billy Jean every time I see him. It was fun to see people come out last night who haven't seen the band before and catch their excited reactions. It was also great to see people dancing! At every show I always want to full out dance but always end up doing that solo hip shaking thing I do instead. Next time, watch out fellas, I'm pulling one of you in there with me.
