Doin it and Doin it and Doin it well.

So last week was pretty fantastic, although the weather was insane- the shows where a good time and if timed right you didn't sweat your ass off to bad- but you may have partied your ass off.  The weekend was a total dance party between Siren and Santogold.  If you missed these shows then you missed out.  This week is rather tame, I might have to find a proper party to go to.  

Wednesday July 23  

Mart'nalia

Brazillian Samba, mixed with hip-hop, 

electronica and rock.  Aside from the intoxication

of Mart'nalia and the absolute need to move to her music 

the venue is always fun in the summer.  If you have yet

to venture out to Lincoln Center for their MidSummer

Night Swing you are missing out on pure summer fun.  

Live music and people dancing outside, its like a mini-

vacation.  

6:30 pm

Lincoln Center (Damrosch Park)

FREE (sort of...you can choose to

pay and have a view or dance just outside of it).

ALSO

Lisa Lisa, Tony Touch & Bahamadia

This may age me a bit but.... Lisa Lisa 

"I Wonder if I take you home"  and "Head 

to Toe" those were my jams back in the day.

What- you didn't listen to club music?  Phew

come on....  Back in the day Hot97 played 

club and a some rap.  I had big hair, tight jeans

and loved my big hoop earrings.  

It should be a nice trip down memory lane. 

7:00

Brower Park, Brooklyn

(Brooklyn Ave & Prospect Pl) 

FREE!!!

And the real party will be 

The DMC New York City Regional Battle

DJ battle, expect to hear some deep

cuts- records scratching and some kids to 

be mixing it up w/o their ipods

This is the way IT IS DONE! 

6pm

Knitting Factory 

$15

Thursday, July 24

Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers

ya... i said "skillet licker!"  Imagine 

World War II swing jazz band fronted by a 

sexy pinup doll with a sultry voice to match.

Lincoln Center (Damrosch Park)

Thursday, July 24

and an awareness that is missing from 

many new hip-hop artists.

the house down at Studio B. Good

times....

This should be a fun day, P.S.1

has brought in the Young Architects Program

and set up an urban farm (P.F.1) Public

Farm One.  As always there will be water to dip

the toes in and cute hipsters to flirt with, or ignore

whichever works for you.

Don't let the line discourage you- its worth the wait.
