Junk Science Plays Southpaw on Thursday (NukFam, Hip-Hop)

Junk Science is playing Southpaw on Thursday night as part of a night of hip-hop. Also on the bill this night is Akrobatik (from Boston), Willie Evans Jr (from Jacksonville) and Dope Sandwich (from Savannah).

Junk Science released a great debut disc, Gran'dad's Nerve Tonic, last year. Since then, Baje One released a solo EP as a free download and Junk Science just appeared on one of the tracks, "Snaf Rinse 3ft." on the new EP from Iller Than Theirs.

This should be a great show and tickets are only $12. Doors are at 9PM and the show starts at 10PM.

More on Junk Science and Sixpoint G.N.T.

The "problem" with growlers is that you have to drink them within a day or two of purchase or the beer goes flat. Needless to say, I enjoyed Junk Science's Beer Release Party last Monday.

GNT is quite a tasty beer -- a bit heavier/hopier than some of the ales that I normally drink but nowhere near as heavy as the standard dark beers. Bierkraft (191 Fifth Avenue in Park Slope) is the only place you can buy GNT (and carry-out Six Points Ale).

I got a chance to talk with the guys in Junk Science for a few minutes that night. After Friday's CMJ show in Williamsburg, the band just kicked off a tour of the Mid-West with Iller Than Theirs, Del the Funky Homosapien and Devin the Dude.


Junk Science's new CD, GRAN’DAD’S NERVE TONIC, was released yesterday on Embedded Records. Check it out! On the band's MySpace page, there is an amusing song entitled "So Sue Me" which wasn't included on the CD (for obvious reasons) but you can download it from the MySpace page.

Junk Science (Nuclear Family) Host Gran’Dad’s Nerve Tonic Beer Release Party

Junk Science (featuring BAJE ONE and SNAFU from Nuclear Family) are hosting a beer release party at Bierkraft in Brooklyn on Monday, October 15th.

While most bands have a CD release party, Junk Science and Six Points Brewery are celebrating their jointly brewed beer, "Gran’Dad’s Nerve Tonic" Beer (Sixpoint GNT), which was brewed on August 29 at Sixpoint’s Red Hook-based brewery. The fruits of their labor will be for sale exclusively at Bierkraft in 64-ounce growlers (just a little less than a six-pack worth of beer) until the limited supplies are gone. Each $16.99 growler will come with a free copy of the brand new Junk Science CD “Gran’Dad’s Nerve Tonic”.

In the spirit of Sixpoint’s brewing ethos and Junk Science’s sophomore album effort, the “Sixpoint GNT” represents a mash-up of beer styles – an extremely malty and hoppy beer with an 8.0% ABV and a reddish hue. It is also Sixpoint’s first beer brewed exclusively for a retail beer outlet.

Both the band and members of the Sixpoint brewery team will be on hand at the party. The party starts at 6PM and Bierkraft is located at 191 Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn, NY.

Check out this video of the band with the Sixpoint brewery team brewing the beer.

The official CD release party for Junk Science's new CD is October 19th at Music Hall of Williamsburg and the band will be playing with EL-P.
