    What’s Going on Today: See London’s wittiest band and half of Al Franken’s former writing duo

    Posted in Own This City by Own This City on June 1st, 2009 at 12:00 am
    Art Brut

    Art Brut

    Music
    Art Brut
    Start checking Craigslist for tickets: London’s wittiest band settles into Mercury Lounge for a five-night run.

    Drink up
    Flight Club
    Get to the Bell House by 6pm, and $10 will get you four delicious craft beers paired with cheese from Murray’s. An additional $3 gets any Sixpoint pint throughout the night.

    Comedy
    Inside Joke
    Carl Arnheiter’s wildly popular Inside the Actors Studio–inspired interview show features the other half of Al Franken’s former writing duo: longtime Saturday Night Live writer and recent author Tom Davis.

    Film
    Departures
    Growing into a full-throated grief mop, Yojiro Takita’s melodrama didn’t win that surprise Oscar for nothing.

    (Not sold out) Music
    Gabriel Kahane
    The impressive young singer-songwriter Gabriel Kahane describes himself as “the bastard child of Alban Berg and Rufus Wainwright,” a hybrid he pulls off with his piano-bar poetry and adventurous compositions.
