The Runaway Suns (whose advice our Sun appears to be taking)
play a big show at Don Pedro on Saturday.

Friday

The 45 Adapters and The Gulf of Michigan anchor a night of punk rock at Trash Bar.

Tonight you can go out enjoy Barforama (the, uh, good kind) at K&M in Brooklyn. Dylan “Otto” Bahn and special guests DJ Captain Heartlock and Charles Gaskins bring the swingin’-est 60’s sounds to K&M’s dance “floor”. No cover.

At Home Sweet Home in Manhattan (home of the ugliest MySpace page ever — fix that folks!) it’s time for Shakin’ All Over Sideways Down, a DJ night in desperate need of an acronym*. DJ Jonathan Toubin is back in town and spinning from his collection of the finest Soul, Garage, Girl groups, New Orleans beat, Glam, Punk, Freakbeat, Rockabilly… you name it. And it’s all free!

It’s Devils Night this Friday the… 11th at The Diamond in Greenpoint. DJs Cowboy Mark, Miss Mary, and special guest Ron Like Hell host a “Funky Holiday Dance Party” at which they will probably diverge somewhat from their usual mix of Country, R&B and Garage Rock. There will also be a charity raffle. Also no cover.

Saturday

Coupla’ shows on the menu for this evening. At Don Pedro, the home-away-from-home for the 99.9% of us who do not live there, a photography exhibit/psych rock extravaganza! Check out the photography of Keith Marlowe while listening to Eidetic Seeing, Madam Robot and the Lust Brigade, The Runaway Suns, Traveling Circle, The Hidden Ratio and DJ Alfreako (whose MySpace page looks awesome) between sets. A lot going on there. My fingers are all cramped up now.

Over at Shea Stadium (a new all-ages DIY venue on the Greenpoint/Bushwick border, not the actual stadium) crazies of all ages will converge when hard blues-rockers Woman and alt-pop-ers Pop 1280 hit the stage.

Sunday

Giants vs. Eagles, 8:15 on NBC. Game of the season. You got a problem with that?

Okay, seriously, the German Measles, Jaques Detergent and The Mad Scene play a Menorah lighting “for our Jewish and Gentile friends alike” (this is “seriously”?!) at Secret Project Robot. Starts early (4pm/sundown?). And as always, DJs Andy Maltz and/or Dave The Spazz are over at Union Pool.

* SAOSD doesn’t cut it. Let’s try rearranging a little… how about SODAS? SOSAD? Anything but DOASS, please.
