In Waste Of Paint, our writer/artist team of Jamie Peck and Debbie Allen will review goings-on about town in words and images.

This past weekend, Debbie and I finally reached our limit of how many shows we could attend and actually "see" over the course of three hours. Shit was like flipping channels!

White Mystery, a duo compromised of Chicago garage insurgent Alex White and her younger brother (no White Stripes) came to town last night, paying forward the "Female Guitar Players Are the New Black" 2010 zeitgeist and generally slaying at Impose's Test Patterns party at Don Pedro's. Also in the building? Vivian Girls's Cassie Ramone, who recently announced she's maybe sorta working on a solo record, and Philly psych duo Reading Rainbow, who have been in NYC a lot lately. Photographer Rebecca Smeyne was there, of course; her shots are below. Nice shoes, Alex.

​Bathrooms at DIY clubs are notoriously nasty--as they should be. The Market Hotel? There's rarely any toilet paper, the stall doors don't close, and the stench of urine is enough to make you forget you have to go at all. Silent Barn? Conditions are a bit better.
