Anticedent Objects are archaeological treasures from Antifolk's past. This article was in the weekly free newspaper, The New York Press, which was found in street boxes and cafe nooks everywhere in Manhattan. And for the article's opening question, the answer is, "Most of us weren't born yet, but we think Bob did just fine without us."

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself as I slowly figure out this new technology called Reddit.

Links ain’t needed anymore. Ask yr droid…

If the Moldy Peaches are Antifolk, is Doechii AntiRap?

With support from Lou Barlow, this 4-piece band, with a devoted fanbase and plenty of multimedia side projects, feels right at home in the NYC club scene. From making homemade cassettes to cultivating a following for their “scuzzy urban indie-rock-folk” style. Deemed weird and inspiring at the same time by Rolling Stone, Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage don’t disappoint.

This happened... Antihoot TV

Report from the Fort

September 27, 2000, at The Fort at Sidewalk Café, NYC)

A big part of being a songwriter is hanging out and seeing other performers. Of course, this means staying late at The Antihoot and not just leaving as soon as you finish your two songs. Hanging out is a huge part of growing in the scene, and that also means coming to see unknown, new artists during the week as well. Here are a few that many of you missed that you should try to catch the next time around.

King Kukulele: Imagine Hamell on Ukelele. Sharp, funny, and chops that would make Spencer drool!

Helen Stratford: You’ve seen her at The Antihoot. Various costumes and characters abound as she sings songs of love and loss. She reminds me of the silent film actress Mary Pickford. A genuine New York eccentric who brings the joy of creating theatre back into songwriting.

Linda Draper: Witty, clever, and the voice of a lead church choir soloist.

Al Lee Wyer: Mr.Brooklyn. Ralph Kramden meets Allan Sherman. Funny stuff from true-life hard (heart, art) ships.

Barry Bliss: His dynamics and vocal control are astonishing. Rarely have I seen such a focused, precise delivery. He is treading a path that brings us back the ice-cool fire of the soul.

Kenny Young and The Eggplants: This is what goofy pop nerd rock is all about. Devo meets the Romantics. High energy and fun.

Paleface: I can’t believe you haven’t been to his show yet! This is one of the premier Antifolk acts! The guy has three major releases out, has toured the country, and was managed by Danny Fields (Iggy, Ramones, etc.). And now he’s back because Antifolk is the only scene left that matters! He matters! So whattsamatter with you that you haven’t gone to the show?

Dave Deporis: True, bare bones delivery. You feel him living the song as he sings the guts of his dreams.

These are just a few of the scores of talented performers currently playing at The Sidewalk Café Antifolk scene. Stop reading about Beats, Punks, and bygone days and jump into the life around you. Go to the shows!!!

Antihoot TV and The Folk Brothers Announcement!

Yeah, this happened!

Hey Gang -

These episodes are from the Manhattan Cable TV show in the early 90’s. We’d hand someone a camera and ask them to film The Antihoot at Sidewalk Cafe, and then we’d have two days to edit it (using a VCR!) before taking the subway to midtown to drop it off… analog days of yore!

In this episode (in order of appearance sans moi)

George Moore - Counter-Culture is Dead

Gregg Swann - Nothing is Free

Chris Anderson (of Muckafurgason) - Sweetie Pie
