RSVP: contact@brooklynfreeschool.org No single event will have a more drastic and more long-lasting impact on Brooklyn than the proposed development of Atlantic Yards by Forest City Ratner. This uncommon proposal, however, is mostly misunderstood. Brooklyn Matters is an insightful documentary which reveals the fuller truth about the Atlantic Yards proposal and highlights how a few powerful men are circumventing community participation and skirting legal protections to try to get the deal done.
Rally Against Demolition for Parking
Where: Pacific Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt Avenues
Date: 2007-04-15 14:00:00
Type:
Whether you support or oppose Atlantic Yards, the immediate reality of the project won't be the promised jobs and housing, but three enormous parking lots. The State is planning to permit Forest City Ratner to demolish two city blocks, including historic buildings like the Ward Bakery, to create “temporary” parking for over 1400 cars that could blight the area for decades. These parking lots will encourage more people to drive, leading to worse traffic, worse air quality and worse quality of life for Brooklynites. And the parking lots aren’t needed. No other large-scale development in New York has required the demolition of two entire city blocks for parking. Please join us in sending a clear message to Eliot Spitzer and Mike Bloomberg that New Yorkers deserve better. Mark your calendars for April 15th at 2pm for some passionate speeches and great music - including from the Lafayette Inspirational Choir and singer Dave Hall. Performers: Lafayette Inspirational Dave Hall Others TBC

My Teenage Stride is a rock band! Hungry March Band is a 25-piece brass march band from Brooklyn, whose musical repertoire consists of original compositions written by band members as well as scores selected from our multi-cultural world community. These songs range from New Orleans street bands, European brass traditions, Gypsy/Roma classics, wedding brass bands from India, the jazz world and the global community of NYC. The band is an ever evolving musical experiment influenced and inspired from Brooklyn's backyard with Latin flavor, Klezmer sounds, polish jigs, punk rock noise, hip hop beats and music of the streets.
Telepath, The Orphans, The Orphans
Where: Knitting Factory

Telepath is a unique new voice in live-electronic music. The 3-piece from Asheville, NC incorporates a wide variety of sampled sounds -- horn lines, rhythm guitars, Indian and Arabic musicians and vocalists n- and lays them over deep groove drumming and dark, reggae-infused basslines. The result is a multi-layered journey of sound that can transport listeners from a remote village in Pakistan, to a dub studio in 1970s Jamaica, to a fat Philly hip-hop groove -- sometimes in the same song. It is this "ReWorld" approach that prompted Thievery Corporation's "Outernational Music" representation company to choose Telepath as one of its inaugural artists. Their debut album is 'Fire One.' Kinetix is a funk/rock/jam band from Denver, CO.
