Yes, it’s Yom Kippur on Monday, so in deference to our Jewish friends we beg forgiveness (or rather *I* do) for droppin’ the ball last Friday and not telling you how to live your life over the weekend… what can I say? Some hangovers are THAT bad.
Speaking of bad hangovers, here’s what’s happening this weekend…
TONIGHT (Friday):
If you’re a Mod or a Skin, or neither, you might like one of these events:
“Night of Oi!” at Don Pedro with the 45 Adapters and some other Oi! bands we don’t know (prize for band name goes to “Ten Pints In”).
The Mighty Fine open for the Slackers for “Slackfest 2009″ at Bowery Ballroom. It’s on the pricey side but you’ll be able to dance all night and there WON’T be any flaky Northern Soul records. $15-$18 depending on how hard you get ripped on ticket fees…
For the discerning garage-r, we’ve got these events:
A veritable Marathon of tuneage at Trash bar with Miami’s Lil’ Daggers supported by the Vondells, the Heartpunchers (did someone really tell me a story that they want you to punch them in “the heart” on stage or did I dream that?), Oh No! and the Tigerpit and the Mess Around. Whew. Drink the cheap stuff all night and lay offa that whiskey or you’ll wake up Saturday, Kafka-like, transformed into a tater tot. $7.
Over in Mannahatta, Real Gone welcomes Your 33 Black Angels and the Dirty Shames plus regular DJs Captain Heartlock, Kittybeat, Z et al. Otto’s Shrunken Head. Free.
Also happening is Jonathan Toubin’s Shakin’ All Over Sideways Down at Home Sweet Home with celebrity guest cook, I mean DJ, Jon Spencer, whose presence raises the cover to $5. Whoops! Did I just knock your blackberry out of your hands?
SATURDAY:
Marva Whitney is featured at this month’s Dig Deeper at its new digs, Southpaw. Marva was one of James Brown’s “discoveries” and had a very fine “Sistah Funk” voice…. could be a good one. Backed up by the Sweet Divines. Wear comfortable shoes, this floor ain’t wooden! $10 advance/$15 door.
The Piggies featuring Andy Maltz of Lil’ Killers debut at Lakeside Lounge. Apparently they play songs that are “too dumb even for the Underthings”. FREE 10pm?
Shellshag and Uzi Rash play Don Pedro. I’m told Shellshag delights the crusties out West, haven’t seen ‘em but they sound more indie-ish from the Myspace. $?
DJs Kittybeat & Captain Heartlock do a new dance called the “Salvation!” at the Hope Lounge on Hope St in Williamsburg (behind the Roebling Tea Room building). It’s free, there’s BBQ and some decent drink specials. Expect cosmic soul & glammy pop.
SUNDAY
Andy Maltz (and perhaps Dave the Spazz?) is back at Union Pool front room. Free as always.
SHIMMY
ps) next weekend is BUSY!!!
