T’was about 1 year ago me and my dear friend/fellow vagabond Jeff Petriello decided we were very very bored. Yes, very bored but certainly not dull. Coming off of summer 2k9 feeling a bit directionless stewing in the stiff and stale recession we knew something had to be born in a time when it seemed most dreams and higher visions were dying.

It was September of 2009 when we had the ephiphany that everyone we knew and considered our friend also happened to be incredibly talented. We decided to creatively cement our social and professional worlds. Inspired by shows we went to when we were young at our towns main fire house, the need to give back with a greater purpose, and the desire to expose major amounts of skilled peers, we created our show.

Our admissions policy a truly defining facet to our show. 10 dollars Admission 1 dollar off for every can of food you bring. All food cans are then collected and brought to local food pantries in the area that the show was had in, hence, the name The Pantry Party.

The Pantry Party is a community based Art & Music benefit show we started in Wayne New Jersey , Our first show happened on November 5^th 2009 at the Company 1 Fire House. We have had about one show a month since November and even developed a sister branch in the UK. We are only on planning on having more shows and in more places.

This Saturday August 21^st The Pantry Party is having our first show in one of the most inspired place of all New York City, at St Marks Church In-The-Bowery 131 E 10^th Street. Doors @ 730. Featuring music by Alex Bleeker & The Freaks, Free Advice, and Four Visions.

So Please join us in candelight, for cupcakes, wine, art, music, and a really really good time.  

Also Join us for Post Show Beers around midnight @ d.b.a located @ 41 1st ave between 2nd and 3rd street
