Friends, I am proud to announce the Grand Finale of Precious Metal. After 6.66 years and over 300 events, the series I started in May of 2006 will come to an end on January 21, 2013.
We had a good run! Monday after Monday, we brought all sorts of heaviness from across the city and around the globe (Iceland, Italy, Australia...) into the den of Downtown grime and glamour that is Lit. These forces combined and added up to something special. I like to think we played a part in the resurgence of a New York City metal scene, one which now looks stronger than ever.
Thanks to:
• The owners and staff of Lit who made this all possible over the years: Erik Foss, Max Brennan, David Schwartz, Matt Kepler, Jeanette Converse, Ryan Jones, Dorian Wolff, James Jameson, David Blackshire, Lori Murphy, Renee Armstrong, Nikki Sneakers, Kyle Krueger, Brian Shapiro, Ryan Piccirillo, Jason Tormos, Rob Walters, Quincy Cummings, and many more.
• Every band that played. Every DJ. For a full list of every lineup, May 2006 through January 2013, please enjoy my complete calendar of events.
• You. The people of NYC and beyond who came to the shows and supported this thing.
Now:
We have four Precious Metal shows remaining! The first is this coming Monday, December 17, with longtime Precious Metal favorites Tiger Flowers and Meek Is Murder. January 7, we have Ghostlimb, from LA, followed by Chicago's Jar'd Loose on January 14. Our Grand Finale is January 21 -- a celebration of 6.66 years and a benefit for The South Sound, a Brooklyn music space destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.
Please come and take part in the final four shows. Spread the word. Let's end this with a bang.
