Beauty Bar New York and Three Olives Vodka presents the new Boogaloo Shampoo – the party where New York’s hardest-working DJ (over 300 gigs in 2008), New York Night Train Soul Proprietor Mr. Jonathan Toubin, fills the mod-ish newly-redecorated back room dancefloor to ceiling with bubbly 45rpm soul classics, novelties, and obscurities – spanning late-r&b to early funk but centering on mid-60s burners every Thursday. Boogaloo Shampoo is thrilled to announce Mr. Toubin’s guest DJ Mar 12 is Kid Congo Powers, legendary guitarist for The Cramps, Gun Club, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – who also happens to be an exciting and flamboyant get-down soul 45 DJ in his spare time.
