Phonographic Arts will be holding their first free art showing at The Level Room tonight, and it’s sure to be a momentous occasion for the new space. From taking pics of coked out hipster whores to climbing trains to capture dead end blocks to their fullest, Matt Gallagher’s photography has been dedicated to showcasing life lessons in urban squalor. And this evening will be an opportune moment to purchase his work since partial proceeds will be donated to the Children’s Art Program developed by The Studio At Beacon. While tonight’s festivities will be fueled by an all out dance party courtesy of Rock Tits, it will also feature rare acoustic sets by Creepoid and Nothing. While Nothing had a breakout year in 2011 thanks to the release of their EP Sons and Lovers, Creepoid impressed all with their unpredictable, ragin’ live performances and eerily beautiful full-length Horse Heaven. And it was enough to give both bands a well-deserved spot on our current Emerging Artist of the Year Poll. Come enjoy art and music colliding!
