After a couple of weeks of relative doldrums since New Years, New Yak is back in the swing of things with a ton of events this week. So much so, this post is only going to cover Tuesday through Thursday action!
First off tonight we have the long-running Hot Dog! DJ night at Matchless in Greenpoint. As always, multiple DJs will be on hand trading in soul, garage, punk & rnb, there will be 2 for 1 drinks all night long AND there’s no cover… but there’s also a great live act in the main room around 10 o’clock tonight, Dave “Uncle Heavy” Luther’s 50′s style yakety sax R’n'B band, the Stick-Ups. The action starts at 8 and will go late late, guaranteed.
Also tonight in Brooklyn we’ve got local avant punks Golden Error at Monster Island for a ToddP show.
And if you’re jonesin’ for some city action, the Stalkers top a triple threat bill at Lit Lounge with new bffs the Tough Shits from Philly and longtime bffs the Electric Shadows from right here in Brooklyn. I believe Josh Styles (and Jonathan Toubin?) are DJing this late too. Cover is $6 and the action starts around 9:30.
Tomorrow night Chapel Hill’s Spider Bags play Maxwell’s in Hoboken, WFMU’s Mr Fine Wine is at his usual DJ spot at Botanica in the city and Jonathan Toubin is DJing at Motor City Bar. Not sure on the Maxwell’s cover but the latter two are FREE all night.
Finally Thursday, a double dose of New York Night Train DJ action– Boogaloo Shampoo (a soul night) at Beauty Bar featuring the ubiquitous Toubin and a satellite party at Enid’s in Greenpoint called Thursday Thump (psych, glam, punk djing). Both are free. Also Brooklyn’s Golden Triangle are live at Don Pedro.
That’s it for today. Don’t drink too much kiddies. And buckle up, it’s the law.
