...York City art-punk trio The Liars brought a rollicking and abrasive hour of new material to TT the Bear’s Place on November 30. Showcasing their soon-to-be released sophomore LP, They Were Wrong So We Drowned, the Liars descended deeper into experimental rock without fully leaving behind the Gang of Four aesthetic that won them such cred with their debut, They Threw Us All in a Trench and Put a Monument...
Gonzalez, 38, is a floppy-haired former public defender who once played bass in a punk rock band and doesn't own a watch or a car. Elected to the city's board of supervisors during the dotcom boom, Gonzalez (who was a Democrat until he became disillusioned with the party's campaign tactics in 2000) helped lead the charge against upscale real estate development to house the high-tech rich.

Because all good things must come to an end, The Clash broke up, but Strummer returned a few years ago with the Mescaleros, a band that allowed him to stretch his world music muscles a little more. So the thing about falling in love with a Strummer album is that it reminds you exactly...
