GaragePunkNYC | New York's blog for garage punk news.

I admit that going dancing this week may feel a little… odd.
Give it a shot. At least you’re allowed to drink while you dance.

And yes, it is supposed to warm up a bit as the week goes on, so wear your best sloggin’ shoes.

Monday

One-woman garage-rocker Two Tears is playing a show at “200 Orchard”, which is either the laziest name for a bar ever, or it’s a parking garage or something. The show is free! Also, German Measles and some (mostly punk) bands are on a bill at Death By Audio (not sure about the cover).

Tuesday

There is something happening on Tuesday! It’s Hot Dog! at Bar Matchless. What an expected surprise! Featuring DJs spinning Rock-n-Roll, 50′s and 60′s R’n'B, Soul, Funk, Garage Rock, Punk, and more. No cover, 2-for-1 drinks all night, from 8 ’till late. (What an expected write-up!)

Wednesday

As always, DJ work hard on Wednesdays. In Brooklyn: DJs Popwell and Bunny Punch host Living For Kicks at the Satellite Lounge, spinning everything good from the 60s, including Garage, Rocksteady, R&B and Soul. Also on the agenda, DJ Reverend Vince spins Soul, Gospel and R&B over at Savalas. Both free.

In Manhattan: At Motor City Bar it is time for New York Night Train Wednesdays, where guest DJs play punk/rock/hard stuff all night. Then of course there’s Botanica where Mr. Fine Wine will spin his favorite Soul grooves. Once again, both free. It’s almost as though they want you to come in and buy something from their establishment instead…

Thursday

DJ Reverend Vince spins Gospel, Soul, Funk and more at Beauty Bar Brooklyn, and DJs Mr. Robinson and Dos Platos have a Soul music night at Heathers in Manhattan. Again, both free. You may lose a lot of body heat this weekend, but you won’t lose much money.
