The Ridge is rocking again!
Last week we took a break from the live music scene to bring you a softer side to Bay Ridge Nights. We regret the error. To make amends, we’ve planned a weekend of nothing but Bay Ridge’s best bands.
On Friday, blow over to Greenhouse Cafe (7717 Third Ave. between 77th and 78th streets) at 9 pm to catch Gearth, Wind & Fireman. Besides having the greatest name in history, this trio does a solid cover of Sam Cooke’s “Bring it on Home to Me.”
Once you are warmed up, stumble down to the Wicked Monk (9510 Third Ave. between 95th and 96th streets) where Rock Farm will sow a field of ’80s tunes, and you’ll reap the harvest. The music kicks off at 11 pm.
On Saturday, Prodigal Child will come back around to Red, White, and Brew (8910 Fifth Ave. between 89th and 90th streets) for an afternoon set at 4 pm. Soak in some sun and tunes in the bar’s backyard, but don’t overdo it, because you’ve got a full night ahead of you. At 9:30 pm, head to No Quarter (8015 Fifth Ave. between 80th and 81st streets) for the ever-brutal Quartet of Catastrophe at 9:30 pm. Then make a trip back to the Wicked Monk to get crazy with party rockers Radio Riot at 11 pm.
After all that rocking, bring yourself back down to earth on Sunday with an acoustic set from Cabaret Trio at Hunter’s Steak and Ale House (9404 Fourth Ave. between 94th and 95th streets) at 5 pm.
