Ever seen this happen?

Last Sat night, Fbox was supposed to open for Harriet Tubman at the Tribeca Y. And because winged trickster Mercury was still in retrograde last week, everybody was confused about the time for the show. We all thought Fbox went on at 8 and HT at 9. Turned out that doors were at 8, and the bands at 9 and 10. Tubman couldn't play at 10 because their bass player, Melvin Gibbs, had to be in a cab at 10:15 to get to the airport to fly to Korea for a tour with Arto Lindsay. So it was quickly decided that Tubman would open for Flutterbox.

Now we ask you, have you ever seen the opening act follow the headliner AND get an encore? We haven't found anybody yet, but it happened on May 8 at the Tribeca Y.

And much love and thanks to Emily Rubin and her Loads Of Prose series for a fantastic gig at the Avenue A Laundromat in the East Village. Great fun. Hope you were there.

  1. Hi there Flutterbox! I'm so glad that you have this site! I appreciate being able to dip in for a moment and allow your music to take me away from it all for a moment :).

    A friend of mine once told me of how, from a nonlinear perspective, the future conditions the past. Looks like you had a nonlinear gig! :). It was a beautiful experience for me, iPhone pinging notwithstanding, and I also adored hearing you both at The Stone last night. I look forward to August 9th (see how the future (the August 9 gig) conditions its past (my present state of joy and anticipation)).

    Much Love and Light, B.
