Mike is out in the Bay Area of California now and his content reflects his current home base as well as where he grew up.

BAD BRAINS DOC "A BAND IN DC" TO BE SCREENED AT NIAGRA IN NYC... OLD SITE OF FAMED A7 BAR

This Wednesday October 9th there will be a screening of the Bad Brains movie/documentary “A Band In DC” at Niagra Bar in NYC. Niaga occupies the same space that was once the famed/infamous A7 Bar that was a force in the development of an early NYHC scene in the early 1980’s. There will also be a dedication of a NYHC plaque on the same night with Jimmy G from Murphys Law DJ-ing so head on down if you are free. The last time we caught up with Mandy Stein who is behind the Bad Brains documentary was in February of last year. At that time we found out that they actually started shooting for this film way back in 2005 at a Bad Brains set at CBGB’s. The running time then was just over 100 minutes.
