Engine Down @ Northsix, Brooklyn NY on Sept. 5th, 2004 (kendo/flickr)
The Williamsburg section of Brooklyn went from being an industrial neighborhood to an artists' haven. But now some of the music clubs that drove its renewal are being either bought, as in the case of Northsix, or pushed out. Today, a look at gentrification and the changing face of Brooklyn's rock club scene. Also: Gilbert Kalish and Wu Han. The classical pianists will perform excerpts from the four-hand piano version of Stravinsky's monumental "Rite of Spring" live in our studio. Finally, The Hold Steady. Sometimes referred to as "America's best bar band," the New York-based group joins us with their whisky soaked musical tales.
