1 week ago Show me your #baconface ! Here are some extra crowd shots and dancing shots from @spacebacon ’s #soldout @mercuryloungeny show back on 12/29/19. I also wrote a brief thing up on the band on @thepokearound today, check it out (link in bio). It’s part of a new #weeklyartistspotlight that I’d like to start doing—a few blurbs each week about whatever artists I’m hyped on or want to help spread the buzz about. And I’m really hyped on Space Bacon—itching to catch them again in February in VT or Hartford, or both! #spacebacon #spacebaconmusic #mercuryloungenyc #phishafterparties #biscuitsafterparty #brooklynmusic #brooklynmusicscene #nyc #nysmusic #thepokearound #livemusic
