This autumn we have a bunch of weekend shows at the Pit, one at Tompkins Square Park in collaboration with the Anarchist Book Fair, and a new building in late 2026/early 2027. All shows are all ages, and all are benefits to set up the performance space at our new building. We're in the homestretch of construction, which will be followed by a bunch of paperwork to get city approval for shows and shenanigans. Precise timeline is deeply TBD.

Fundraising update: over the past 18 months punk and hc shows have raised a little over $28,000 for the new ABC. We have the $25,000 we want for the PA, and everything else we raise before the building opens will go towards other supplies for the performance space: stage, soundproofing, lighting, and more. Thanks to everyone who chipped in at shows, all the bands who have played, and always @the_p.i.t._ for hosting so many of our in-exile shows.

Life came full circle when ABC No Rio wrote us to see if @wildridgeplants would custom grow native plants for the green roof on their new building.

We both hung out at ABC in our teens. Like every Saturday. For me, the community and the music are one of the best sets of memories I have.

We grew a mix of native plants for both full sun and also for the shady conditions under the solar panels, based on wild plant communities of rocky ridgelines as well as deep forests.

Locally native species from black cohosh and foamflower to pearly everlasting and wild columbine are all part of the palette of species we’ve been growing out, all plants we propagated ourselves from local wild seeds.

We can’t wait to get planting with the green roof collective! Big thanks to Rudi @freebeertomoro for reaching out to me this spring!

So looking forward to seeing some familiar faces from way back when.
