THE THERMALS PLAY “5 AT 5” AT ACE HOTEL

By Jason Thomson

If you have a job, or at least a 9 to 5, this show will be a tough one to catch. But fuck it, take the day off and head to the city on Monday, March 11 for a 5 song set at 5pm by The Thermals in the hotel lobby of the Ace Hotel in Manhattan. It’s the first of this year’s music series 5 At 5.

The Thermals are a post-pop-punk trio from pre-Portlandia Portland, Oregon. They’ve released some cool records on the classic Northwest labels Sub Pop and Kill Rock Stars. Their newest, soon-to-be-released sixth LP, Desperate Ground, was produced by John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth) in Hoboken, NJ which was finished just hours before Superstorm Sandy tore us a new asshole.

5 At 5 is an ongoing series of intimate, free live performances by touring bands in the lobby of Ace Hotel New York. It’s FREE and open to everyone.
