During one of Brooklyn's "storm raves" many years ago, a fight broke out in the crowd. Frankie Bones jumped on top of a speaker and shouted at the audience, "If you don't start showing some peace, love and unity, I'll break your fucking faces!" Rumor has it that later, the word respect was added to this quote, creating what we now know as the acronym PLUR. In addition, this Brooklynite is best known for practically single-handedly introducing rave culture to the United States in 1989. The 20-year legacy of Frankie Bones is indeed something for the textbooks. This Friday the 13th, Bones takes over the Grand Emporium (alongside Solaris and Plastic Motive), blessing us with waves of straight techno — industrial sounding, 4/4 beats rarely heard in this region of the country. Expect a lot of out-of-towners in the crowd.
