Jacob Hensberry screening - Galapagos in Williamsburg
The Secret History are proud to present the second edition of Modern Problems party at the famed Williamsburg art space know as Galapagos Thursday July 24th. This edition is co-curated by friend and film maker Jacob Hensberry and will also include the debut NYC screening of his short film ‘21′, fresh off its appearance at The Seattle International Film Festival.
The evenings Modern Problems include…
*Revel Hotel’s second ever performance (featuring singer/actor Johnny Q. who also appears in ‘21′) This experimental neo-goth cabaret combines electronics and experimentation with the booming croon of Johnny Q. First rate post-modern song & spectacle…

*The Purse Snatchers. The brand new project featuring Doug Marvin of Dirty on Purpose, with able assistance, advice and Melodica-tooting by his wife Annie Hart (Au Revoir Simone.)

Then it’s special guest djs all night!
Doors open at 8:30, entertainment begins at 9:00 sharp! Short-ish sets by interesting bands, great djs promote subversive and seditious bar chatter. A great short film. These are amongst the reasons you must attend!
