Since yesterday was Valentine’s Day, it’s time once again for Syd Straw‘s Heartwreck Show. If you have never been to one of these shows, it consists of rock vocalist extraordinaire Syd Straw leading a band of friends through any number of songs about the down side of love. This year the place the festivities will take place is The Bell House, close to both Park Slope and the Gowanus Canal. As usual mystery surprise guests are promised and I am sure will be delivered. Opening the show tonight will be Now I’ve Heard Everything favorites Winterpills, exquisite chamber popsters who have not been around NYC much lately.
