NYC: COREY GLOVER BAND (LIVING COLOUR) & DUG PINNICK BAND (KING'S X) AT THE CUTTING ROOM
Corey Glover Band (Living Colour) & Dug Pinnick Band (King's X) perform at THE CUTTING ROOM (44 East 32nd Street, NYC - 212-691-1900) on Thursday, May 7th at 8:00 pm. Even before forming the pioneering, Grammy winning, platinum selling rock band Living Colour, Corey's incredible talent as a personality and as an artist was brought to the attention of director Oliver Stone. The famed movie maker decided to cast Corey in his Vietnam epic, Platoon. Corey has also appeared in the films The Keeper, Reunion 81, and Loose Women. As a founding member of Living Colour, Corey helped prove that not only could black guys kick out the jams, but that they could be embraced by a vast expanse of fans. Living Colour earned numerous industry awards including back-to-back Grammys for Best Hard Rock Performance of 1989 ('Cult of Personality') and 1990 (Time's Up) and emerged as one of the most influential rock acts of all time: regularly selling out arenas and selling millions of albums. After their four Billboard charted albums, Living Colour disbanded in 1995. Almost immediately Corey began laying the foundation for his debut solo album, Hymns.Then, with the revival of Living Colour, Corey found himself once again singing to sold-out audiences around the world mesmerizing them with his captivating vocal performances. Doug Pinnick is known first and foremost as the soulful singer and bassist for hard rockers King's X. Born September 3, 1950, in Joliet, IL, Pinnick discovered rock & roll through such greats as Sly and the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin, while he borrowed from gospel for his singing style. When a gig backing up Christian guitarist Phil Keaggy broke up in the early '80s, Pinnick formed a new band with fellow ex-Keaggy member Jerry Gaskill (drums) and guitarist Ty Tabor. It would take several years of playing covers in bars throughout the South before the new band would click musically and eventually settle on a name: King's X. Signing to Megaforce/Atlantic in 1987, the trio became a favorite with the metal and progressive rock crowd; their music also contained elements of alternative in their hard rock, long before it became en vogue during the '90s. Pinnick is one of the few bassists of hard rock who uses a 12-string bass regularly, which is a major ingredient to the magical King's X sound. After six critically acclaimed releases, Pinnick released his first solo album, Massive Grooves From the Electric Church of Psychofunkadelic Grungelism Rock Music, in 1998 under the alias Poundhound. There is a $30-$35 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.
NYC: "SEARCH: PAUL CLAYTON" THE MAN WHO LOVED BOB DYLAN
STAGE 72 (158 West 72nd Street, NYC - 212-362-2590) presents the New York premiere of a new folk musical, 'Search: Paul Clayton, the Man Who Loved Bob Dylan', which features 14 classic folk songs, The show will play for 13 performances only from Wednesday, May 6th through Thursday, May 21st. Showtimes and days vary so check the STAGE 72 Website. The opening night is Thursday, May 7th at 7:00 pm, with a second show on Friday, May 8th at 9:00 pm. 'Search: Paul Clayton' celebrates the true story in words and song of one of Bob Dylan's first musical mentors. Paul Clayton of New Bedford, Massachusetts was the most recorded young folk singer in America when Bobby Zimmerman arrived in 1961 Greenwich Village to begin his career as Bob Dylan. It was Paul who helped open the doors of the folk world to him. From 1961 to 1965 Paul taught Bob the tricks of the trade, while falling hopelessly in love with him.

NYC: MARK DENDY PROJECTS NEWYORK NEWYORK @ASTOR PLACE
Mark Dendy's new dance-theater work, "New York new york: Astor Place", will play at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Wednesday through Saturday, May 6th through 9th, with performances at 7:00 pm, with a second performance on Saturday, May 9th at 9:00 pm. The work mines the rich history of the Public Theater building, the original Astor Library, whose collection eventually made up the lion's share of the New York Public Library's holdings. The stage at Joe's Pub in the Public Theater becomes a portal through which we meet a shape-shifting cast of time travelers, habitu•s from past and present Astor Place and the surrounding area. The piece looks at gentrification through the specifics of one New York neighborhood and asks: What is change? Does history merely repeat itself? The piece explores race relations and violence, the never-ending conflict between the 99 percent and the 1 percent, the role of tabloid news now and then, and a meditation on the book itself though dance and text. Dendy hosts the evening as William B. Astor, heir to one of America's first millionaires John Jacob Astor. Along the way we meet a writer, a reporter, a real estate agent and her clients, a male stripper, a freed slave, an East Village '80s punk, a disgruntled Irishman, and a book-burning preacher. (Please note that this show contains partial nudity and may not be suitable for young audiences.) There is a $20 cover.
