October 25th, 2008 - The 666th Bike Kill!


Bike Kill 666!

In a very rare moment we’re hanging up our dancing shoes and ear plugs for one weekend and focusing on something that has nothing to do with music.
Black Label will be presenting the 666th Bike Kill in Bedstuy, Brooklyn this Saturday.

Bike Kill is one of the greatest, craziest NYC events. Jeff Stark of www.nonsensenyc.com/ notes that Black Label’s “Bike Kill” is, “The hardest, purest event all year. And you know, while it’s not a good reason to go to an event just because when you look back at the pictures 20 years from now you’re going to say, “Jesus, that shit was so fucking cool,” it’s something. Two years ago the Bike Kill ended with a jet bike. Last year Black Label turned over a car and beat the shit out of it with skateboards and BMX bikes in some sort of Lord of the Flies reverie. Yeah, going to Bike Kill is like walking on the set of some movie you’ve never seen, except get the fuck out of the way because there’s a bike flying right for your head and someone just hit you with a loaf of bread. We’ve always understood the event as not just a celebration of bikes, but a celebration of doing something all on your own, about taking what you care about and sharing it with whoever happens to come on by. And then someone will vomit on the street and we’ll remember that we were getting a little full of ourselves. Still. The most important thing to remember: Hop on and hold tight. And watch out for whatever comes late.”
