Cassettes Won't Listen Continue Tour of Brooklyn Industries Stores Tomorrow (March 30th)

Cassettes Won't Listen caught my attention with their free download "One Alternative" (a takeoff on the 90's 'No Alternative' compliation). I was intrigued that CWL is playing 6 shows at local Brooklyn Industries stores this weekend in support of a new shirt that main man Jason Drake designed so I stopped by the first show @ Brooklyn Industries' Smith Street location.

CWL played a 20-25 minute set in the front window of the store. After watching the performance, I'd like to see a full set (...so I guess that says it all). Here are some of my pictures from the show.


Here is the schedule for tomorrow's four Brooklyn Industries shows:
12:00: Williamsburg - (162 Bedford at N. 8th St)
2:00: SoHo - (286 Lafayette bet. Prince and Houston)
3:30: W. Village - (500 Hudson St. at Christopher St.)
5:00: Chelsea - (161 8th Ave. at the 18th St.)

Cassettes Won't Listen is also playing Limewire's party at Crash Mansion on April 4th (another free show).
