DJs Billy Miller (Norton Records, A-Bones), Girlsoul (Soul A' Go-Go) and host Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus will spin fabulous instrumental records--mostly from late fifties and early sixties--all night long at the fabulous Trophy Bar, Lower Williamsburg's hippest night club.
Along with running America's finest record company Norton Records, singing for one of America's greatest rock'n'roll bands the A-Bones, Billy Miller is a world-class collector of crazy-ass records of the pre-Beatles era. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPN53XQXhnc
If you dig music that features wailing saxophones, pounding drums, outrageous organs and wild guitars--without anybody singing about his/her feelings--you need to be at The Wang Dang Doodle! No pretentious poetry masquerading as lyrics! No off-key singing!! No singer trying to show off his/her "magnificent vocal range" by stretching notes into the stratosphere, whether the song needs it or not!!! Only instrumental recordings will be played--mostly from original 45 RPM records. This will be the BOSS EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
It all happens at Trophy Bar--Lower Williamsburg's grooviest club--easy to get to on the L-Train (Marcy stop) or the G-Train (Broadway stop).
No cover charge. Free candy.

What happens when the person selling her excess personal goods is a cult figure known for gender-bending body-modification, avant garde performance art and a general interest in challenging the status quo on pretty much every level imaginable?
Well, then you have the Genesis Beyer P-Orridge Tag Sale coming up at Famous Accountants.
Items for the May 1 and 2 sale are as of yet undetermined, and P-Orridge, who is currently stuck in London thanks to a certain Icelandic volcano, was unavailable for comment on her selections. All items will come with provenance tags proving that they once belonged to P-Orridge.

Hobotech Hoe Down Set for May 1st in Brooklyn
Brooklyn, NY – Growing right along with the number of foreclosures and laid off Americans, Brooklyn’s Hobotech posse bring their unique Great Depression meets cutting edge Techno sound to a bigger Brooklyn warehouse venue appropriately on the traditional spring party date, as well as the signal for imminent disaster, May Day, Saturday May 1st.
The Hobotechies will celebrate May Day starting at 10pm with blogger, scientist and DJ FutureBen, followed by Hobotech regulars FreeBass and Hobotrail. Around 1am Hobotech creator Jon Margulies will spin followed by ATOM. The night will climax with a tag team set from The Rising Smoke of the Hobo Kings (aka Haj - Resident DJ of Sub Swara & Freek Factory - and Jon Margulies). The DJs will be joined by the accordion boombox stylings of Dallow Texino and the Hobo Percussion Orchestra featuring Dave Sharma (also of Sub Swara) and Zemi17.
Not content to be just another Brooklyn warehouse throw down, this Hobotech event encourages all partiers to dress up Hobo style including suggestions such as high-tech hobo, low-tech robot, tech-house hillbilly, boxcar betty, Experimental Plasma Wave Bindle Scientist, stew bum sys-admin, and Utah Phillips K. Dick.
Other event aspects that will add to the post-economy atmosphere include “some sort of model train madness;” Hobo IDs for costumed attendees with photography by Joe Che, and Hobo Intake Specialist Anu; video from the Housewives Guide To Anatomy, Doctor Mojo, and TwinA; plus a final visual element from The Amazing Bindlestick Blinkytron, an interactive light installation by Image Node.
For ticket purchase info, to join the Hobotech mailing list or to download a recent Hobotech mix please go to www.hobo-tech.com. Location info will be given to ticket purchasers.
