UNEMPLOYABLE NYC presents …

[[ GREEN STREETS ALBUM RELEASE PARTY ]]

FRIDAY | 17 OCT 2008
@ Lounge 87

87 Ludlow St
New York, NY 10002

10p-12a HandinHand DJ Set featuring vocalists Dee Teague and Irene Merring
12-1a Yadira Brown performs songs from the album and her own solo materia
1-4a Afterparty (dancing/drinking etc) with DJs Katy + Lil Tiger + Treats spinning many styles

/// MAIN EVENT: 10p-1a ///

UNEMPLOYABLE NYC will host an event where art and music collide. With the release of the new album “Green Streets” from HANDINHAND, the DJ/production/song-writing duo of Mike Genato & Katy Walker, break new ground. Veteran producer, Mike Genato, (Mathematics, Peter Hadar) and music composer for TV and film has been releasing music for over 10 years and Katy has been DJing for equally as long. The event allows them to showcase music from the album as well as the singers and artists featured on the project.

YADIRA BROWN
who wrote and performed “Sweet Relief” on the album, is an Austin-based singer/songwriter whose music mixes electronic production with the singer’s warm, powerful voice and passionate lyrics to produce a unique, mature sound that stands completely on its own. In the past she appeared on the Living Legends (the Grouch) and Bus Drivers albums. Leaving underground hip-hop behind in order to pursue a more enlightened, feminine and personal sound, Yadira began writing new material and performing regularly in Austin and surrounding areas. This is her first NYC performance. DEE TEAGUE will also perform “Free like Me” from the album as well as HandinHand’s re-imagining of the Gil-Scott Heron song, “Superman” (in this case “Superwoman” which has been popular among DJs). Singer/song-writer, IRENE MERRING will perform the powerful album opener, “Time Will Tell”. A HANDINHAND DJ set will also feature live vocals from Irene Merring.

sold the rights to a song i wrote for $100

What city/place in the world would you live in (at least part time)?
i’d love to live in NYC

How does music effect your life?
i have never not thought about music, in some form. the more i give to music, the more it gives me back.

What were you doing at exactly 4:20 (am or pm) yesterday?
is this a trick question?

A favorite/inspiring quote to live by?
life itself may be only a series of illusions. why not pick the ones that bring us the most enjoyment?
