What was known as TeaBag has changed its name and the venue. What was once a small variety show has turned into something that no one could have predicted if you used to attend the open mics in a basement on Mott Street in New York City’s Chinatown. Now it is called Five Points Mission and it is bigger, better and badder.

The new Five Points Mission has many faces: The Variety Hour is one of the liveliest shows in Manhattan! Each show features an eclectic mix of music, hip hop, poetry, comedy, trash talk, and spontaneous insanity. The Poets Lounge showcases the city's best and emerging poets, spoken word artists, folk musicians and performance artists. Film Workshop is a short film screening featuring works from the rich pool of emerging local filmmakers and offers a chance for the filmmakers to talk to the audience about their film. Also, check out the Podcast, where the crew from Five Points Mission talk about Asian American issues that affect us today. Drop by for some spontaneous action if you are in NYC and for more information, log on to www.nycfivepoints.com

No Luck Club - This Vancouver-based instrumental hip hop band spent the first part of 2006 recording its sophomore album, Prosperity. A fusion of turntable improvisation and studio trickery, Prosperity is a self-described "genre-smashing sonic collage" comprised of four musical suites. The trio self-released the album in Canada to wide acclaim from both mainstream and independent media. The positive buzz led to their current licensing deal with an upstart, New York indie label called Expansion Team. Prosperity will be available domestically in the United States on May 8, 2007 and NLC will be playing a few shows in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco (hopefully!) to promote the release.

The group will be sliding through to NYC and they promised us that they will be dropping by the ImaginAsian Radio studios for an interview next week. Please your ears open and tuned into www.imaginasianradio.com for the interview. For more information, please visit www.noluckclub.com or www.expansionteam.org
