The Ristorante Retina Flyers: A Year & A Half In The Life Of A Converted Storefront
|
Panopticon & Carr/Lisciandro. Our first show at the newly renovated Ristorante. Flyer by Jared Rosenbaum |
From Ashes Rise, Born Dead Icons, The Bad Form, Balance Of Terror, & Tear It Up. Flyer by Avi Cohen |
|
Catharsis, The Skabs, & Something In The Water. Flyer By Avi Cohen |
Some shitty emo bands. Flyer & show by J. Lisciandro |
|
Noggin (awesome noise band with elderly violinist!), Etherdrag, & Treelinedhighway. Attended by about 8 people (but that left plenty of food for them and the bands). Flyer by Avi Cohen
|
An evening of blaring rock n' roll, with live music by the Bad Form, and New Brunswick locals Python Angelo. Flyer by Jared Rosenbaum |
|
Art by Amy Diaz & Christina Baute, with The Skabs providing an ornery drunken onslaught, and a "rare performance by the Post-Its", whoever they were. . . Flyer by Amy Diaz |
Our second art show, two weeks after the first. . . Flyer by Rachel Mackow |
The Skabs returned to piss more people off, and The Mange guitar-heroed everyone to death with ironic 70s-rock riffs, while The Bad Form have nothing to say about their own set. Flyer by Avi "oh, it's SKABS, huh?" Cohen |
Kill The Man, Something In The Water, Most Precious Blood, & Books Lie. Flyer by Rob |
Suicide Party were real sweethearts, I remember that. They were joined by Tear It Up and Down In Flames for a night of mid-winter thrashing and revelry. Flyer by Avi Cohen |
|
Video screening. Flyer by Rachel Mackow |
Charm City Suicides caused the few audience members brave enough to stay through their set to put holes, boot marks, and blood smears all over our walls. Johnny B. from Panopticon got blood all over the mattress we used to soundproof the door to the street. Alice B. Talkless, The Bad Form, and Monotract also played.

Mile High, Python Angelo, Orgone Energy, & The Cream Chargers. Flyer by Avi Cohen |
An art show. Flyer by Amy Diaz
|
We decided to have a Flea Market and exhibit of poster art all at once. We hung up all sorts of flyers done by local and not-so-local artists and bands. Nobody really showed up. Flyer by Jared & Rachel |
Walker from Charm City Suicides once confided in me that this was one of the top five most fun shows Charm City ever played. Since they were such a spastic, possessed-by-demons band, seemingly always, that made me really happy. Anyhow, The Oath, Total Fury (from Japan), and The Bad Form also played, so it was a great thrashy noisy messy show, all around. Flyer by Avi Cohen
|
Sutek Conspiracy, The Quick Fix, Fortunato, and The Dukes of Hillsborough. Flyer by Megan |
Art and Live music by The Control Group, American Altitude, our upstairs neighbor Owen, who played demented childish songs with a flamenco guitar, and the Drowners, which was Doug from An Oxygen Auction creating hellish and entrancing noise with a bow and a cymbal. Exquisite corpse by Rachel, Jared, Mike Nigro, and Tim Scammel
|
Dalek, The Cherry Valence, and The Bad Form. Flyer by Avi Cohen |
One day after 9/11, we had some pretty apocalyptic punk bands, including DS 13, Nine Shocks Terror, Out Cold, Down In Flames, and The Bad Form. I think this was the last Bad Form Show ever. Flyer by Avi Cohen |
Boulder cancelled. Flyer by Avi Cohen |
