Late Night Basement: Mates of State, Sheng Wang and Christie Young

Late Night Basement is back for another installment at the Pine Box Rock Shop in Brooklyn! This month’s lineup includes music, comedy, 2-for-1 beers from Heavy Seas, and of course, shenanigans.

Mates of State is a musical duo who have been rocking out since 1995, with noteworthy features in NY Mag, Pitchfork, SPIN, NPR and more. Not only will they be performing a few songs, but they will also be interviewed by your host Chris Rose.

Meanhwhile, stand-up comedian Sheng Wang, whose claim to fame includes a guest spot on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and a Comedy Central special, will be responsible for funnies. Oh, by the way, he’s also known to accept hot dogs from strangers when drunk. Bring in the franks!

Finally, author/illustrator Christie Young is releasing her first book, Girl Talk: Unsolicited Advice for Modern Ladies, on August 26. Watch as the contributor to the Book of Jezebel goes toe to toe with Chris Rose, and touches on the moment that you realize that you look exactly like your boyfriend’s sister.
