Tonight is the night! Hope you can join us at @mercuryloungeny for a very special evening of music and visuals. Not to be missed. Doors at 9. See you soon!
Grouch-In: We love New Zealand/New Jersey’s Bailter Space, one of the few acts we offer ticket giveaways for, as this may be our third #freebie go around.
This show appears to be founder Alister Parker, in some solo configuration, at @mercuryloungeny on October 16, 2025, #rightontime folks!!
**Update as of 9.26.25: tickets have been claimed**
***************++++++++++
Parker’s history:
Pre-Bailter Space, The Gordons existed as part of the first generation #newzealand #flyingnun scene in the early to mid 1980s.
After that, Parker formed NZ/NYC Bailter Space, which marked a transition long before that word had entered the discourse. Though Bailter Space debuted on #flyingnun they were quickly picked up domestically by Matador and other stateside distro to much fanfare. Loud, invoking lots of space, they narrowed and deepened the heavy-side of The Gordons. Think less NZ #jinglejangle and more #distortion plus attenuated air. Amazing records …
We have two tickets available to the first inquiry here in the shop. We don’t do #comments or #retweet giveaways.
