During an impromptu listening party at Rift Studios in Brooklyn with owner and engineer Tom Gardner, the song "Fractured" was playing from the new EP from the band Puzzled Panther.

The band features Victoria Espinoza and Kay Bontempo, plus Eugene Hütz of the international punk rock band Gogol Bordello and Brian Chase of the rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

"We like to call it post punk Reni-Dance, so we decided to come up with a new term because it was so hard to describe it with the words that were already there," Espinoza said.

Puzzled Panther is one of the featured bands on "NYContinuity Volume One, New New York Does Old New York."

It's a compilation record from Hütz's Casa Gogol Record label, which he started last year. It features original music and renditions of classics from bands like Sonic Youth, the Talking Heads and The Velvet Underground.

"Kinda continuing the lineage of New York aesthetic, New York Vibe, New York Music, whatever you want to call it, but we all know that [the] New York thing exists and gets copied and pasted all over the world," Hütz said. 

To celebrate the record, many of the artists will perform at the Bowery Ballroom on April 5, in a show that features special guests like actress Vera Farmiga and her band The Yagas.

The Casa Gogol family artists say it's a no-brainer playing tribute to the folks that influenced them.

"Getting us to merge the old New York and New New York is something you really feel when we are all together in a venue playing a show together, it's really cool," Taylor Yancey, who plays guitar and sings with the band Mary Shelley, said. 

Singer and songwriter Grace Bergere covers the Velvet Underground's "All Tomorrow's Parties," featuring Thurson Moore of Sonic Youth. 

"I've been seeing Eugene around town like the East Village forever, and it's really crazy I get to be part of the people who inspired me," Bergere said. 

Same goes for Christoph Jesus of Crazy and the Brains, who did a cover of a Teddybears, featuring the legendary Iggy Pop song, appropriately called "Punk Rocker." 

"I feel like the inspiration for this started from touring together, and Eugene coming out and singing with us because he was hyped on the song," Christoph said. 

As Hütz says, it's picking up all the greatest influences of New York City and spinning them in a new way.
