Forro In The Park. Or Rink. Or Plaza. Or Whatever.

BY Matthew Lawrence

Something* tells me that David Byrne won’t be making a surprise homecoming appearance at the Forro In The Dark show in Kennedy Plaza this afternoon. However, that’s not going to stop me from posting the video for Asa Branca, the absurdly catchy song he sings on their album from last year.

I’m excited about the show, anyway. I think the last time I went to the skating center to see live music, it was when the Catherine Wheel (awesome!) opened up for Electrasy (ridiculous!**) at one of the BRU Summer Concerts, back when the BRU summer concerts were free and happened more or less every week. Ahh, when modern rock was actually enjoyable…

[*And by something I mean common sense.]

[**I was going to link to the video for "Best Friend's Girl," which a) was a better song and b) according to Wikipedia is in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the group and members of the Laurel and Hardy Fan Club throw 4400 custard pies in four minutes. But, alas, the video's nowhere to be found online.]
