SO YOU WANNA BE A ROCK’N’ROLL STAR?

Want to be a HBK? Then you need LBK – Live Band Karaoke – which
returns to Brookyn Heights this Monday night.



Only that can turn you into a Heartbreak Kid.



"It’s the closest you can get, if you’re not in a band,
to being a rock star," says William Crane, co-owner of Magnetic
Field, the Brooklyn Heights bar where LBK debuted last month.
Magnetic Field is the first venue to bring LBK to Brooklyn, he
says, although people may recognize it from Arlene’s Grocery
on the Lower East Side, where LBK packs the house weekly.



What makes the monthly LBK events "leaps and bounds"
above ordinary karaoke, he says, is the electricity you feel
onstage. It pours from the band behind you and from the crowd
before you pumping fists in the air like so many uncapped pistons.



The back-up band, guitarist Bunnie England and the New Originals,
advertises a repertoire of 39 songs, which spans from early Beatles
to The Ramones to Judas Priest.



Now stand up and break some hearts, kid!





Live Band Karaoke will rock Magnetic Field (97 Atlantic Ave.
between Henry Street and Hicks streets in Brooklyn Heights) this
Monday, July 5, at 9 pm. Admission is free. Call (718) 834-0069
