Some thoughts on the events of Thursday, July 14th, 2022. The night began with a music industry summit celebrating Beth Townshend of Carpark Records at the Applebees in Times Square. I sat next to Billy Jones and Natalie Miano—pretty cool. Six jumbo pretzel sticks and one Blue Bahama Mama later, I was on my way to Baby’s All Right for the Dots Per Inch 6-year anniversary party.
Weeks out, I knew this was going to be one of my events of the summer. I like Tom from DPI—I do. But I really value the artists he works with. Lucy is my north star, and a Lucy show at Baby’s All Right is the kind of night I plan my life around. When I arrived, Greg Rutkin was standing outside dressed like an 18th century aristocrat. Seeing him that way made a lot of sense.
Ernesto Rarebergg kicked off the night. One of my favorite performances from my first year in NYC—why has it taken me so long to hear about him? May played second. She wore a red dress with a hoop skirt and her face was painted like a porcelain doll. Adam’s guitar was 100% chrome. Lucy was last, with DJ sets by Meetka, Nancy, Amiture, and Cole Haden peppered throughout. The roar of the crowd after Lucy’s set gave me chills. Kevin Carpet was there, and he showed me an angry review he left on the Pianos Yelp page.
