rock'n'soul dance w/JONATHAN TOUBIN & HOWIE PYRO August 12, 2011

New York Night Train's rough and ready maximum rock'n'soul get-down! The rock'n'roll dance of America's most popular soul party DJ MR. JONATHAN TOUBIN (of Soul Clap & Dance-Off Land of 1000 Dances, etc - http://newyorknighttrain.com/soulclap/jtbio.html)! The finest 1950s and 1960s r&b, garage, doo wop, rockabilly, British invasion, girl group, and dance craze recordings you've never heard - turned weekly exclusively in the huge 45RPM VINYL format for your dancing pleasure...

This week MR. T is thrilled to be joined behind the booth by a legend from both the punk rock and dj worlds, HOWIE PYRO (http://www.facebook.com/gr​oup.php?gid=66616964898). Though Howie made his name playing bass for Danzig, D-Generation, and '77 CBGB punk kids The Blessed (not to mention recordings with everyone from Joey Ramone to Genesis P-Orridge), and is famous as everything from the last person to see Sid Vicious alive to the guy who adopted Phil Spector's dog, he's also one of the most important (and fun) DJs in rock and roll - all the way from Manhattan's seminal Green Door party (1990 - 2000 http://www.pogoagogo.com/h​owie_pyro/howie_interview.​htm) to his current weekly Intoxica Radio show (http://jellsmayhemsgarage.​podomatic.com/). Expect all kinds of monkeying around and goo goo muckery!

$3 cover - but FREE ADMISSION BEFORE 11 (and after 3AM)!

"Jonathan Toubin is the only person we can call a "professional DJ" without involuntarily making a jack-off motion with our hand... His parties are like what Ancient Stonehenge was like if it was, as archaeologists theorize, filled with people dressed many times better than you completely losing their shit." (Vice)
