Delocated Third Season Premiere Tonight
Don’t miss the third season premiere of Delocated on Adult Swim Thursday at midnight!
From the creators of Wonder Showzen and Xavier: Renegade Angel, in this show comedian Jon Glaser plays a man in the Witness Protection Program who moves his family to New York City so they can star in a reality TV show, forced to wear balaclavas at all times.
These guys have stopped by the stages a few times to shoot the show and we’re very happy to see them kick off their new season, which they say is going to be their sexiest season yet. Check out some behind the scenes footage here.
Teletextile- I Don’t Know How To Act Here

Eve to Adam- Run Your Mouth
Rock band Eve to Adam released their album Banquet for a Starving Dog this summer and with it they also released their music video for “Run Your Mouth.” Shot here at the Nut Roaster, this high energy video turned our stages into a concert venue/interrogation room. Thank you guys for bringing a little law and order and family values to our corner of Brooklyn.
Check out what Taki Sassaris and Alex Sassaeis from Eve to Adam have to say about the experience.
Das Racist
The Brooklyn hip hop group Das Racist just released their first full length album Relax this week. They also released their music video for the single “Michael Jackson”. We had the high-energy trio in our stages for the creation of this gem. Our baby Seltzer Room #1 even gets a little cameo, check it out:
Tayisha Busay
We love us some Tayisha Busay so when they decided to shoot here again we were STOKED. Here is their most recent audio visual one-two punch entitled “Focus”.
Rope outfits…Rarrwww. BUT WAIT there’s more: Tayisha Busay is playing TONIGHT with other Brooklyn legends such as Tiny Victories, Great Tiger, A&R, AND DJ JD Samson. They will all be rockin out at Glasslands at 9pm and so will I and so should you. I could go on and on but why read when you can watch vids on the internet!
Austra
If you have not had your ear drums tickled by this band you are missing out. Austra’s magical Toronto trio is made up of Katie Stelmanis (vocalist, pianist), Maya Postepski (drummer), and Dorian Wolf (bassist). Their recent album was released May 17 and they chose Brooklyn Fire Proof as the venue for their music video! Directed by M Blash (Lying) the video for “Lose it” takes place in an almost bare room and is both surreal and playful. Check it out below and look at their tour dates as they are set to play in Brooklyn on 10/6!

“AFTER WE MET”
November 6 – 21, 2010
Temporary Storage
120 Ingraham Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11237
Opening reception: Saturday, November 6, 6-10 pm Closing party (featuring a performance by Tao Lin): November 21, 6-9 pm
Temporary Storage Projects kicks off its programming at Brooklyn Fire Proof with AFTER WE MET, a multi-disciplinary exhibition organized by guest curator Claudia Eve Beauchesne, and featuring works by local and international artists.
These days, most relationships are formed and/or maintained online, but our mediated exchanges are still shaped by memories of face to face meetings, and sustained by the prospect of future encounters. AFTER WE MET is an exploration of the ties that can bind two people on a personal level or in an artistic context. Some of the works were made by two artists working in collaboration; others are formal or conceptual representations of interpersonal relationships made by a single artist; others still are remnants of past affiliations, or salvaged fragments of virtual exchanges. The participating artists live in different cities and work in diverse mediums, but their artistic practices and this exhibition are the products of true connections. Shown side by side, the works form a dialogue and become part of a larger conversation. After we met, this is what we made.
Participating Artists:
Bittertang (Michael Loverich & Antonio Torres)
Peter Giang
Shawn Kuruneru
Kristin Loekegaard & Ingvill Sunnby (NOR)
Blaze McKenzie & Jeffrey McKenzie
Dexter Miranda
