We were all bummed on Saturday to hear that The Apple Stomp ska festival in New York City this coming weekend was going to be postponed due to circumstances outside of their control. The good news is that the good people at Asbestos Records and Cake Shop are working together to to have a few smaller shows in place. This should give some solace to the bands that worked their schedules (touring or just getting people together for the reunions) and the fans who arranged travel and accommodations. The really good news is that Cake Shop is a tiny venue on the Lower East Side and promises a much more intimate experience for those who attend. Tickets range from $12-$15. Line-ups and details aren’t final yet, but we’ve gotta cut these guys some slack given the situation.
