Jar'd Loose/Precious Metal at Lit Lounge

Extreme metal bands have a devoted following, and a scene was nurtured for them for the past six years by curator Currin McReynolds on Monday nights at the Lit Lounge in the East Village. These Precious Metal nights have been more than a stage, they have been the building of a dynamic niche music community. As the Precious Metal nights wind to an end next Monday, tonight's showcase included a punk metal band from Chicago named Jar'd Loose, pictured above.
