Maximum Rock’n'Soul on Fridays!
Friday, June 27, Shakin’ All Over Under Sideways Down, Home Sweet Home (131 Chrystie, Lower East Side, Manhattan), 10:30pm, free: New York Night Train Soul Proprietor Mr. Jonathan Toubin has recently been invited to transform Home Sweet Home’s 80s/90s dance night into a rough and ready rock’n’soul get-down. The last couple of months night owls shake and shimmy to 45rpm party favors - obscurities, novelties, and classics – with a pumpin’ heartbeat from the 1950s to the present - soul, garage, girl groups, New Orleans beat, glam, punk, freakbeat, rockabilly, and lots of other supreme jams from across the board that’re played and recorded with both rawness and immediacy for your dancing pleasure. And you never know who’ll show up and pull a guest slot Ian Svenonius (Make-Up, Nation of Ulysses, Weird War), Kid Congo Powers (Gun Club, Cramps, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), and Josh Styles (Stalkers, Smashed Blocked) have all dropped guest DJ sets in the last few weeks. Now every Friday after 3AM, there’s a happy hour everything in the house is 2-for-1. This party has been THE jam of late. Come get it while the gettin’s good…
