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 DJ MR. JONATHAN TOUBIN (of Soul Clap & Dance-Off, etc http://newyorknighttrain.com/soulclap/jtbio.html) - just back home from his US tour! The finest 1950s and 1960s r&b, garage, doo wop, rockabilly, British invasion, girl group, and novelty recordings you've never heard - turned weekly exclusively in the huge 45RPM VINYL format for your dancing pleasure!

And this week's special guest DJ is noneother than underground music legend KID CONGO POWERS (http://kidcongopowers.blogspot.com/), who of course isn't only the leader of KID CONGO & THE PINK MONKEY BIRDS, but is also known for his essential work with the likes of the GUN CLUB, CRAMPS, NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS, etc. Kid is also a killer DJ who plays and assortment of wild things on the 7 inch format!

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

Speaking of that, don’t miss METROPOLIS VINTAGE HAPPY HOUR from 8-11pm with ETHAN MILLER of the OUTSIDE EYE (http://theoutsideeye.tumblr.com/)! Ethan gets the dance party going early on with rock and soul blended with a heady mix of Jamaican, Ethiopian, African, and other world delights. Perhaps sax legend Chuck Hancock will also turn up?

"Let Jonathan Toubin's vinyl collection lull you into a sweat-bathed soul stupor in a setting not unlike your grandpa's basement--complete with taxidermy and concrete floor." - Eva Medoff, "Time Out" (New York's 5 "Best Indie Dance Parties", Jan 11, 2011)

"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." - Mike de Leon (Vice)

"New York Night Train's Jonathan Toubin throws the raddest underground rock parties in New York" - Alexander Thompson (Paper Magazine)

"A shimmy-worthy mix of maximum rock'n'soul" (New York Post)
