Besides playing the Fun, Fun, Fun Fest this November in Austin, Bad Brains have lined up a few more shows in the coming months. On Sept. 2, they’ll open for N.E.R.D in Chicago at the House of Blues. And on Nov. 6 they’ll headline a show at Irving Plaza in New York. Tickets go on presale on Friday at 10 a.m. The password is “fans.” The always enigmatic and unpredictable HR will be doing a solo show on a Rocks Off Boat cruise around Manhattan on Sept. 8. The three-hour cruise will be passing by those man-made waterfalls on the East River. If you recall, Bad Brains played played quite a raucous set on the boat last summer. As to what to expect from an HR solo show, your guess is as good as ours. [Brooklyn Vegan]
