Last month we worked with The Stationary Set at the NEXT Charity Concert Series at our favorite new venue Captain Lawrence Brewery. After a well worked sound check these guys performed one set that was like waiting and finally seeing the space shuttle launch. An incredible show that built up and took off with orchestrated and melodic rock. Check out a few pics below from Focus In Digital our photography partner.
Don’t forget Thursday December 13th at the Captain Lawrence Brewery NEXT returns with Deadbeat Darling!!! Show starts at 8pm…you could be home by 10:30 and had an awesome evening!!!
The holiday season is in full swing. Parties, shopping and all the madness that goes with it. This is a very musical time as well with many different types of music events from school plays to Christmas concerts. It’s a fun time for production companies like ours between winter weddings, Christmas parties, and music shows.
At November’s NEXT Charity Concert Series at Captain Lawrence Brewery we worked with a really cool band. The Stationary Set out of New York City. The show went super well and was a lot of fun. Their music is very melodic and dramatic. There can be a lot of pieces to an orchestration by them, well placed to add to the effect. We highly recommend you check them out.
Chris Bro of NEXT posted a video of the sound check on YouTube after the show. It was a quick peek during the monitors check (so don’t expect super sound!). Gives ya a nice view of the settings at these shows. Take a look:
This month’s NEXT Charity Concert is one of our favorite bands. Deadbeat Darling brings their surf/indie rock to the brewery! The last time we worked with Deadbeat Darling was last year (October 2011) in Pleasantville, NY when the series was at Paulie’s Bar. You can listen to some of that show at the NEXT Soundcloud page if you need a reminder (link). We are extremely excited to get to produce these guys at Captain Lawrence. The sound is going to be big! If you dance then be prepared to move this night! The show is Thursday December 13th at 8 PM (Doors at 7 PM). You can buy your tickets in advance here.
Remember, Captain Lawrence is easy to find right off Exit 2 on I 287 in Elmsford, NY. The beers there are amazing and it’s proven to be a very good sounding event hall with plenty of room for dancing!

In fortunate and unfortunate ways, we have been too preoccupied with our work and storms that it took us a little bit of time to get a post up for you. But today we bring you the pics from the NEXT Charity Concert Series at Captain Lawrence Brewery Featuring a band that is quickly becoming one of our most favorite bands, The Modern Electric from Cleveland, OH.
What an excellent 2 sets of solid written music from their originals to a couple covers that they do in amazing ways. Including an incredible version of Smashing Pumpkins 1979. If you listened to the Modern Electric Live EP on allthingsnext.com then you should be familiar with their 1970’s pop cinematic style (The highest number of plays out all the Live EPs from the concert series), but missing the show you also missed a bunch of new songs. Look out for these guys on a major label soon!
Photo’s are again by way of Focus In Digital our photography partner.
Well. Our partner in Focus in Digital had been booked to a prior engagement leaving BNK Pro on their own for photography last weekend at the NEXT Charity Concert Series. Such a shame too! We had My Pet Dragon at the Captain Lawrence Brewery! My Pet Dragon are another of the great Brooklyn bands. They’re strong performers with simple but anthemic songs. This night was an incredible night from them in such a cool setting. It’s always good to hear them live. Especially as their song Moonshine is an excellent live song! Simple but full of energy!
On the production side, when we arrived to set up for the show, the staff at Captain Lawrence Brewery had already set up the stage. They had some great ideas and jumped on them. They took stacks of pallets and placed them in 3 rows to form a nice sized stage that looked like it belonged in a brewery! Sound was very good up front, but noticeably echoing as you moved back from the stage as is expected. There are brewing silos and lots of bottles in this building. There is also plenty of room to dance and move around so, its fine being up front!
But as mentioned, no photographs from our pro! We had to take our own with our phones! Fortunately today’s phones take better pics than they used to, but these are not going to be the usual quality you are used to on this site.
Overall, this show was another successful event as we fine tune how to party in a brewery! NEXT Music has continuously brought fantastic music with a fun party atmosphere to the Westchester area and this was a perfect example. Please check out the links below and peak at the people involved.
