Musical Musings
Osei Essed, by Dominique Esser
As I walked into the familiar junk store/venue Goodbye Blue Monday, I immediately saw Osei Essed, lead singer of The Woes. We exchanged hugs, and “how have you beens” (I know him and a few other band members from college.) It was a quiet night at GBM. My theory is that people are finally sick of the heat, and would rather stay at home in their air conditioning. It’s a damn shame, as the group puts on one of the best shows in Bushwick.
