What a week for dancing and, well, uh, mostly just dancing…

Yeah, it should finally be Summer this week, or at least that’s what the weatherman says. But whatcha gonna do once you’re done baking yourself? Unless you like to hit the beaches of New York while the Sun is busy lighting up Zimbabwe, you’d better have some other plans. Please allow us to assist you…

Monday

DJ Emma Vikingskull of The Jadewalkers is spinning tonight at Double Down Saloon. She’ll be spinning punk, R&B, garage rock and everything in-between, and that there will be no cover.

Tuesday

Going dancing again tonight? Why not head on up to Greenpoint and check out Hot Dog! at Bar Matchless? DJs spinning R&B, Garage Rock, Soul and 60s sounds, no cover and 2-for-1 drinks all night. Or how about giving Lost & Found Soul DJ night at Savalas in Williamsburg a shot? Also no cover (we think).

Free your feet by freeing your wallet… to buy more drinks!

Wednesday

New York Night Train and their weekly guest DJs return to spin Punk, Garage Rock, and who knows what else at Motor City Bar. And once again, Mr. Fine Wine spins Soul music at his regular gig at Botanica. Both are in Manhattan, and admission to both is free.

News Flash – On Wednesday night Stalkers will be playing at the premiere of Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry at Tribeca Cinemas. They’re on at 11pm, after the movie, which is about legendary tattoo artist Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins. AND this Wednesday night it’s “The Pub” down at Otto’s. Performances by Alana Amram and Aunt Fuzz from Sweden, with DJ Emma Vikingskull (who is having very a busy week).

Thursday

If your feet have Soul then head on over to Beauty Bar Brooklyn for Boogaloo Shampoo. The place is brand new and reel purdy. Or if you prefer a night of punk, glam, and psych rock then check out the Thursday Night Thump at Enids. This week featuring DJ Dave of the band Sorceress. Maybe he’s also reel purdy, I dunno.

If you hear about any other good stuff drop us a line. Now go on and move those feet! Unless of course you are browsing our lovely website on your iPhone while already dancing, in which case… stop stepping on me!
