Looking for something to do tonight?

According to Brooklyn Vegan: “New venue Under 100 (located in the basement of the Tribeca building where Damon Dash‘s office is located) is quickly becoming famous, after just two shows. The first, in November, featured sets by Sleigh BellsJavelinKnyfe Hyts 81 with help from Mos DefCurren$y, and others. The second, just two nights ago (12/8), was rumored to include a performance by Blakroc (featuring Mos Def) who were on Letterman that same night. That didn’t happen, but The Cool KidsThe London SoulsCurren$y (again), and some others did play. Mos Def and Damon Dash (again) were just hanging out.”

In previous Brooklyn Vegan posts, Under 100 is said to be “co-owned by greg finch of p4k tv” and located at 172 Duane, at Duane and Hudson (which would place it between Vestry and Laight, nowhere near Duane).* Damon Dash, if you can’t place the name, “co-founded Roc-a-Fella Records, helped launch the career of Jay-Z and discovered Kanye West. He’s produced or executive-produced about a dozen films, including the well-received 2002 urban flick Paid in Full and the 2004 movie The Woodsman, starring Kevin Bacon. And he started lucrative apparel lines like Rocawear and Rachel Roy, of which he is still part owner with his wife, the company’s namesake” (Billboard via Brooklyn Vegan).

Tonight, Darlings and These Are Powers are performing; doors open at 9pm, $7. RSVP by emailing lessartistsmorecondos@gmail.com.

As for what to expect, here’s a description from the Flickr pool of Erez Avissar: “was a crazy night. dash’s entourage rolled through in full effect, loved sleigh bells and javelin, two rappers (stally and curren$y) spit over javelin songs during an unexpected encore by popular demand. later in the evening, everyone went upstairs to watch javelin’s set in dash’s office and rumor was that both parties wanted to further jam. next thing you know, everyone’s downstairs in the venue again and mos def et al are jamming with javelin and knyfe hyts! was a special night. shame you can’t capture the aroma of weed smoke on camera…” (via Brooklyn Vegan).

* UPDATE: I’m a moron. I had been Google-mapping 172 Hudson. 172 Duane is on the south side of Duane Park.
