Sat, July 4: New York Night Train and Panache Booking’s 4th of July Bang with 24 bands and 12 DJs, Union Pool (484 Union, Williamsburg, Brooklyn), 2pm – 4am, $5: As most of you know, the fireworks have been moved to the Hudson River this year. Unless you hate fireworks, or love New Jersey, this is a bummer. New York Night Train and Panache Booking, in no mood to make the trek to the west side or Jersey, got with Union Pool to declare Brooklyn’s independence from all of that and find a place for all of the neighborhood friends to go. Union Pool offered up their spacious courtyard, taco truck, indoor/outdoor stages, front and back rooms for the entire neighborhood underground to perform, DJ, and hang out all day and all night. The bands and tacos begin at 2pm in the courtyard and, after 8pm, the live music migrates to the back room. At 10pm the DJs start upfront and at 2am, the bands stop and its just DJs front and back. Get a load of the following drink specials to keep this holiday light on your wallet: $4 margaritas, moscow mules, Presbyterians, and well drinks, $3 Juengling, Genesse Cream Ale and PBR, and $6 for PBR and shot. The cover is $5 for 24 bands (each playing 4 songs for July 4!), 8 DJs, and much more. Fall by on your way out, on your way home, or, dig in and stay all day – there’s plenty to do and all of your friends’ll be there. Rain or shine! Here’s the lineup:

Now for something new! New York Night Train, Panache Booking, and Todd P have banded together for the first time to present the NYC’s latest and greatest multi-media spectacle, NEW YORK NIGHT TRAIN HAPPENING #1! More fun, exciting, and interactive than a rock show! More artful, organic, live, and interesting than a dance-party! Picture the union of the underground rock, art, dance party, and performance scenes under one roof! Now you no longer have to regret living in the wrong time! Don’t just read about it! Don’t just dream it! Live it – the legendary nightlife experiences that you always imagined! A contemporary underground DIY rock and roll take on historical NYC subcultural landmarks such as Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable! Ladies and gentlemen – we have finally arrived!

le menu:

HEALTH, who are being flown in from Los Angeles for this event, are of course the danceable progressive noise-rock outfit that have been relentlessly burning trails around the world with its innovative sounds and sweaty showmanship the last couple of years to an infinitely expanding global cult!








Detroit’s AWESOME COLOR, another prolific road-horse of a band, who record Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace! imprint, remain one of the world’s most unpretentiously experimental and intense rock bands – they’re stopping off here in Brooklyn between tours with Black Dice and Sonic Youth so you can lose your hearts on their burning sand!





Washington, DC’s KID CONGO POWERS , whose new In The Red LP “Dracula Boots” was just dropped to rave reviews worldwide (9/10 NME, 4 stars MOJO, etc), is the much-imitated musician whose masterful no wave blues slide guitar work on over 100 releases with such seminal musical entities as The Gun Club, The Cramps, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds has made him a rare rock and roll legend whose prolific output never ceases to be new, relevant, unpredictable, and exciting!


New York Night Train Conductor and Soul Proprietor MR JONATHAN TOUBIN has shattered the face of nightlife in the wormy apple, and lately, around the world, w­ith his revolutionary parties and wild and wooly approach to his trademark 45rpm “maximum rock and soul” sets!









Smashed! Blocked! DJ/conceptualist JOSH STYLES, who also moonlights as the drummer for Stalkers, is internationally celebrated as one of the world’s most prominent freakbeat DJs – throwing down the most choice 45s chock full o’ heavy duty beats, flipped-out guitar sounds, shimmering Hammonds, catchy riffs and choruses – plus loads of bounce and energy!



Berlin’s FITZ, AKA John Fitzgerald, who also globe-trots with Animal Collective and produces all kinds of events around Europe and used to run Brooklyn’s Mighty Robot back in the day, is an internationally renowned psych DJ – throwing down all kinds of tripped-out rhythm-heavy 45s from Turkey and beyond!


LONE WOLF AND CUB, a collaboration between trapeze artist Suzanne Rogaleski and Tall Firs/Stars Like Fleas drummer/percussionist Ryan Sawyer, are, while, in the words of the New York Times, “an irresistible combination of trapeze, drums, and vocals,” are also a darn unique and exciting spectacle to behold!









ANNA COPA CABANNA, the sexy Australian showgirl icon who performs her choreography, plays her xylophone, and rollerskates in venues around the world, is equally well-known as the official go go dancer of the New York rock and roll underground.!









HULA-HOOP HARLOT MELISSA-ANNE, who of course specializes in the artistry of the Hula-Hoop, performs meticulously choreographed routines that, while dazzling in their acrobatic nature, are also super-playful and wildly entertaining!









SPENCER BEWLEY, the English projectionist who has wowed crowds everywhere the last few years on the road with the likes of Death In Vegas, Warlocks, and A Place to Bury Strangers, manipulates found, purchased, and assembled loops on dueling 16mm projectors to blow peoples minds!





MIGHTY ROBOT AV SQUAD, operating the multi-media visuals for years not only at their Mighty Robot and Secret Project Robot art spaces, discos, rock venues, museums, and other elsewhere on both sides of the Atlantic, employ an infinite overlapping juxtaposition of motion collages to form a kinetic visual feast! ambient, the symbolic, and the thematic!





Expect a participatory spectacle in which all of the performers to play all sorts of roles on and off stage in all sorts of unpredictable configurations while you dance all night long!

This night is just the tip of the iceberg – not only will New York Night Train, Todd P, and Panache Booking continue their revolution in Empire City shows with Happenings featuring Chain and the Gang, Shonen Knife, and other renowned acts, New York Night Train Happenings are also in the process of changing the way people go out in venues around the world this year – creating new nightlife alliances and reinforcing underground aesthetics… town by town.

Live it – the legendary nightlife experiences that you always imagined! A contemporary underground DIY rock and roll take on historical NYC subcultural landmarks such as Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable! Last week’s happening, featuring HEALTH, Awesome Color, Kid Congo Powers, NYC’s most exciting 45rpm rock and soul DJs, joined by a cast of dancers and performers beneath wall-projections drew almost 600 folks into Market Hotel – going from 8pm to 6am. This week’s happening, just publicly announced today, is an avant-psychedelic installment – featuring our usual cast of the NYC local legend DJ dream team of Jonathan Toubin and Josh Styles, go go artiste Anna Copa Cabanna, and projectionist Spencer Bewley with the addition of DJs Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers and Chicago’s Plastic Crimewave, live performances by the Social Registry’s Psychic Ills, Soft Circle (Hisham of Black Dice), and downtown art/performance legend Larry 7, and projections by 7 and Brooklyn’s hyper-creative Secret Project Robot! Santo’s is offering cheap drink specials ($3 vodka drinks and $4 Bud) and the door is a recession-friendly 10 bones. THIS WILL BE MIND-BLOWING AND UNMISSABLE!


PERFORMERS

PSYCHIC ILLS, named “Best Psychedelic Rock Band” by the Village Voice Best Of NY Issue, since ascending into stratospheric global cult popularity with their canonical 2006 Social Registry LP Dins (the finest psych rock album since the 1970s. Hands down!), remain uncompromising in their artistry and continue to blaze new sonic trails every day of their relentless touring and recording schedule. Still one of the supreme mind-melting acts in the world!

SOFT CIRCLE is the ambient/tribal/electronic musical project of Black Dice’s Hisham Akira Bharoocha who releases records on the Eastern Developments and PPM labels. Hisham takes a seat behind the drums and proceeds to record and loop sounds in front of your eyes then adds layers of drums and singing to create a cyclical symphony of rhythm and sound. Soft Circle, regularly touring with Boredoms, No Age, High Places, and a number of other subcultural notables, is also the musical director for Boredom’s 77 BOADRUM and 88 Boadrum performances featuring 77 and 88 drummers respectively. Hisham’s exquisite soulful percussive mantras need to be seen and heard live to be believed

LARRY 7 has been a huge force in a variety NYC underground scenes and mediums for years. From his musical work with everyone from Jarboe to Tom Verlaine to Can’s Michael Carlioli and Malcolm Mooney to his visual work with Warhol’s Factory, Matthew Barney, etc., to his longstanding mobile multimedia +/- night and live performances at galleries, museums, and live events all over Canada and Europe, though he’s a secret treasure at home, Larry 7 is a household names in the international avant garde. Larry, whose performances are all distinct, always makes the nature of his live work a surprise (last time Einstuerzende Neubauten’s Alex Hacke turned up to join him!).

ANNA COPA CABANNA, the sexy Australian showgirl icon who performs her choreography, plays her xylophone, and roller-skates in venues around the world, is equally well-known as the official go go dancer of the New York rock and roll underground.







DJ’S

GIBBY HAYNES is of course the gargantuan cultural force and musical talent best known for leading innovative Texas acid-punks Butthole Surfers as they changed the way underground music was played and presented throughout the 1980s and 1990s and reunited to much acclaim last year. Outside of his thousands of noteworthy exploits with the Butthole Surfers, Gibby also sang on Ministry’s MTV mega-hit “Jesus Built My Hotrod,” played in a band with Johnny Depp, and acted in a number of major motion pictures. More importantly, Mr. Haynes has become a popular DJ and successful visual artist the last few years – spinning and exhibiting for a growing fanbase around the world.

PLASTIC CRIMEWAVE is the one-man empire of Chicago artist/musician/DJ Steve Krakow. Leader of hallucinogenic sonic adventurers Plastic Crimewave sound, author of Drag City’s incredible hand-drawn zine Galactic Zoo Dossier, and the DJ behind WGN radio’s Secret History of Chicago Music show, Krakow is an international psychedelic cult-of-personality.





MR JONATHAN TOUBIN, New York Night Train’s Conductor and Soul Proprietor, has shattered the face of nightlife in the wormy apple, and lately, around the world, w­ith his revolutionary parties and wild and wooly approach to his trademark 45rpm “maximum rock and soul” sets!







JOSH STYLES, Smashed! Blocked!’s DJ/conceptualist, who also moonlights as the drummer for Stalkers, is internationally celebrated as one of the world’s most prominent freakbeat DJs – throwing down the most choice 45s chock full o’ heavy duty beats, flipped-out guitar sounds, shimmering Hammonds, catchy riffs and choruses – plus loads of bounce and energy!

for anybody who missed it, here’s the deal with the party….



Saturday, May 30, 2009, Animal Train Happening presents, our final party ever: The Circus: DJ sets by Mr. Jonathan Toubin and special guest Jon Spencer, live music by Preacher and the Knife, live music/performance by Raul de Nieves’ Try Cry, performance by Hula Hoop Harlot Melissa Anne, escape and contortion acts by Jared the Conjurer, go go dancing by The Marmaladies, visuals by Mighty Robot AV Squad, décor by Live With Animals, Glasslands Gallery (289 Kent btw S. 1st and S. 2nd, Williamsburg, Brooklyn), 10pm – 4am, $7:

Now its time to say goodbye. Animal Train, a collaboration between New York Night Train and Live With Animals have put on nine wild and revolutionary subcultural multimedia theme dance parties featuring DJs, performance, projections, and dance in an entirely informally formalist environment designed, constructed, and lit entirely by local artists. We’ve taken you deep below the ocean floor, back to prehistoric times, into Warhol’s factory, to the French Revolution, and a number of other fantastic places and times with guests linking many generations of underground culture: legends like Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV), Quintron and Miss Pussycat, Ian Svenonius (Make-Up, Nation of Ulysses, etc), Kid Congo Powers (Cramps, Bad Seeds, Gun Club), and Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers), and emerging musical talent like Golden Triangle, Ghost Exits, Pterodactyl, S-S-S-Spectres, and Puddin’ Tang. Jonathan and Vashti, still very much friends, have decided to discontinue the party not because of any ill-will, etc. but rather because this an undertaking of this magnitude requires more time and effort than either of us possess at this point. When we started, Jonathan’s DJ career and Vashti’s lifestyle as a touring and recording musician (Golden Triangle), were not yet even glimmers in either of our eyes, and now, two years down the road, our schedules have become far too busy to pull this off with any kind of frequency. The good news however is that we decided not to go out with a whimper – but, in the grandiose Animal Train fashion, of course, with a bang!

While we regret to inform you of our parting, we are, however, thrilled to announce our tenth and final and best party, The Circus. This theme, selected by Vashti to reflect the fact that this event has been a literal and figurative circus since we began, is not very ambiguous. Expect a big top with lots of cotton candy, balloons, and much more than three rings of action. The dance party will be presided over by Mr. Jonathan Toubin and his extra-special guest DJ Jon Spencer (yes! thee legendary – he of Heavy Trash, Blues Explosion, Boss Hog, Pussy Galore, etc. fame. How often does this sharp-dressed legend DJ?). We will feature live music by NYC’s most darkly dynamic and intensely rhythmic new band Preacher and the Knife and up-and-coming visual/performance artist Raul De Nieves’ new theatrical musical act Try Cry Try and performances by Hula Hoop Harlot Melissa Anne and both an escape and contortion act by the Jared the Conjurer of Vicious Vaudeville and Evil Burlesque, plus, as always go go dancing by the gorgeous Marmaladies (the three lovely ladies of Golden Triangle!), live projections and other visuals by Mighty Robot AV Squad and décor by Live With Animals Gallery. The party stretches from 10pm – 4am (get there early for the bands and stay late for the dance party! The cover is only $7. Step right up, get in the tent, and expect to be amazed!

Starting tonight you can catch New York Night Train Conductor and Soul Proprietor Mr. Jonathan Toubin spinning at these exciting parties up and down the west coast. Make sure and tell yr cronies in these locals to come out and feel his untamed maximum rock and soul action and, if you happen to be on the west coast, come and get it! And repost, etc…
