I always liked the Luna Lounge okay. I didn't much care for the back room where the bands played because the sofas were so nasty, but the front room was far less annoying than most bars on Ludlow Street. I forget why they closed (I'm guessing more sweet, sweet condo action), but they recently reopened out here in Brooklyn.
Unlike the old place, there's no free ride or foosball here. But also unlike the old place, there's a big stage, a huge room, and what seems to be a pretty great sound system. Last night was the Pipettes. My man (I'm turning into one of those annoying "we" people, aren't I?) guilt-tripped me into going and once I got there, I was pretty happy he had.
These girls are as cute as a pile of shiny new buttons. They wear polka-dots and sound like all my fave lady singers—Kirsty MacColl, the Revillos, Shangri-La's, and even a little touch of Lush and the Slits. Plus, they have a song called "Judy". It's not a particularly kind Judy song, but like Wreckless Eric's "Hit or Miss Judy," that just makes it better.
I went to this show too. I LOVE these gals! So much fun. I also like the new Luna -- huge space but it doesn't feel crammed or cramped.
