Producer and multi-instrumentalist Peter Cottontale and Mensa's former Kids These Days bandmate Stix (aka drummer Greg Landfair Jr.) will help out with the festivities. Both musicians are members of the Social Experiment, which is Chance the Rapper's band. There's also a "special guest" slot for tomorrow night's event, and though it wouldn't surprise me if Chance showed up anyone in this circle would be a welcome presence. I'd be happy to see Leather Corduroys, who recently dropped their full-length debut, Season (keep an eye out for my review).
If the music and arcade games aren't enough, there's also going to be live painting and art instillations. The festivities kick off at 9 PM, and tickets are $5. It's part of "Hi-Fi," a monthly party cohosted by ERA Galleries and Mishka NYC blogger Neon Pajamas.
In February 2018, this article was updated to use the phrase ‘arcade bar’ in place of the word originally used.
