Chef on a Mission: What Sean Brock Listens to When he's in the kitchen

MMJ… Wilco… Radiohead… QOTSA.  The Chef of Husk in Charleston has great taste in music. 

The history of Parts and Labor, told poster by poster, on the eve of their last show.

June 22, 2007 @ some old warehouse we found the day of the show, Brooklyn, NY

Dan: On the day of the “Mapmaker” record release show Todd P went to the intended venue only to find that it had been turned into a sweatshop.  We ended up sneaking 700 people into a Bushwick construction site that is now Roberta’s pizza (and a few adjoining businesses). Someone told me that the stage we used was actually a table used for cutting sheets of glass. We managed to fit a horn section and Joe Kremer from Pterodactyl on stage with us, but I also managed to fall through one corner of it at the end of our set.

I was totally at this show. Can’t believe that empty construction site is now Roberta’s
