The All-For-Nots Last Show

Almost a year ago, The All-For-Nots played their first gig at Manhattan’s Mercury Lounge. Tonight, at Machless in Williamsburg, they will play what could possibly be their last. 

The band that was born from Michael Eisner’s new media studio, Vuguru and conceived by Kathleetn Grace and Thom Woodley of The Burg and Dinosaur Diorama Productions ended its self-titled web series in late August.

The “Synth-Pop Indie-Electro-Folk-Emo-Dance-Gazer-Punk-Americana-Pop Prog-Rock-Emo” fivesome of Johnny, Caleb, Paul, Shirley, and Farrah seemed to be flirting with the idea of going on tour, but sometimes life imitates art. Thom explained over email:

“In a surprising turn of events, it turned out very much like our original series – interpersonal drama, musical differences, lack of money. If people want to know what happened to the band, and how a band can fall apart at the same time it’s blowing up, they should go watch The All-For-Nots.“

The set starts at 9PM tonight at Matchless. Go if you can swing it (and bring a can of food or two – it’s part of a benefit for the the Food Bank). They put on a good show.
