Dig Deeper with Willie West and the Sweet Divines!
Saturday, February 26 at 9:00pm
Location Southpaw
125 Fifth Avenue
Brooklyn, NY
DJ Honky & Mr. Robinson present: Dig Deeper @ Southpaw with Willie West! First Ever NYC Show!
Tickets available on Ticketweb: http://tinyurl.com/west-digdeeper
$10 adv / $15 doors
...PLEASE NOTE EARLY START TIME! Willie West will be on stage at 10:30pm!
Willie West is why we started Dig Deeper. An artist who - back in the 1960s and 1970s recorded a stack of incredible records - but had the misfortune to be released on labels which couldn't or didn't promote them, in Willie's case because they all ended up folding. Only with the passage of time can we rewrite the history of soul music and find those records which were great musically - not those which happened to have the most marketing dollars behind them.
February 26's Dig Deeper at Southpaw will be New Orleans soul legend Willie West's very first show ever in NYC performing his own music. His first should have been some 40 years ago at the Apollo Theatre - but somehow, Lee Dorsey stayed on stage (with Willie's band!) a little too long, and New York never got to hear a note. Willie was back in New York in the late 1970s lending vocals to the Meters, playing some of their classic material at an outdoor festival - but not a note of his own.
Willie West has given us an incredible legacy of soul - from the blazing R&B of "Willie knows how", to a seemingly endless list of aching deep soul ballads like "Don't be ashamed to cry", to the Allen Toussaint-arranged & produced acoustic funk bomb "Fairchild" which fairly drips with the echoes of New Orleans (and likely features the Meters as the uncredited session musicians).
Dig Deeper is ecstatic to present Willie West's first show in NYC, backed by the Sweet Divines, who will also be opening the night with their own set.
Rough schedule:
- 9pm Doors
- 9:30pm Sweet Divines
- DJ Honky, Mr. Robinson spin 45s
- 10:30pm Willie West!
- rest of the night - DJ Honky, Mr. Robinson DJ for the dancefloor!

Nasty Canasta is joined by burlesque superstars Bunny Love and Peekaboo Pointe, plus The Naked Librarian, and Barbara Gordon (yes, she's an actual librarian!), as the Naked Girls tackle Valentines' Day fallout in the best way possible: with gorgeous naked women reading from some of the best stories of failed romance ever written. Featured pieces will include selections from Huffington Post bad boy Andrew Shaffer's latest book Great Philosophers Who Failed At Love; anti-love poetry by William Shakespeare and Elizabeth Barrett Browning; breakup letters collected by the Naked Girls themselves and more. Guests to the salon are invited to relax in the plush velvet upstairs lounge at Madame X and sip a drink (sample the Grudge F**k, a cocktail specially created to compliment the poetry of heartache!) as Nasty, Bunny, Peekaboo and Barbara celebrate the literature of lost love.

WORD: Stripped Stories
http://newyork.ucbtheatre.com/shows/2326
Every month Giulia Rozzi (MTV, VH1.com) & Margot Leitman (Spike TV, VH1) invite comedians, musicians and guests to reveal hysterically honest stories about their sex lives. Giulia and Margot will also each reveal their own juicy stories amidst games, audience interviews and hookups... hopefully. With a combined resume which includes appearances on NBC, ABC, Vh1, MTV, Comedy Central, AMC, ESPN, E!, various guest radio spots, and features in Glamour and Playgirl Magazine, Giulia and Margot easily blended their love of stories, silliness and sex to create Stripped Stories. This themed night of hilarious sex stories has been playing monthly to sold-out audiences since it first began in January 2007. With guests spanning from award winning comedians to regular folks who have never set foot on a stage, Stripped Stories pleases both critics and audience members alike. Each month Giulia and Margot enable audience members to laugh at their own sexual misadventures via the brave guests
who bare their souls on stage. With rave reviews from Time Out NY, The Village Voice, Nerve.com and many others, Stripped Stories is rapidly becoming a must see comedy event (with an after party not-to-miss). With: Michele Carlo (Fish Out Of Aqua, The Moth), Kurt Braunohler ( Montreal Comedy Festival, Vh1), and music by Ben Lerman (Logo TV, Sirius). (UCB Theater, 307 W. 26th Street, 9pm, $5)

Robert Jack
January 13 – February 12, Anatomy of the Eye
Josée Bienvenu Gallery is pleased to present “Anatomy of the Eye”, Robert Jack’s fifth solo exhibition in New York. Robert Jack’s work is based on microbiological systems and processes, making visible essential aspects of life that are overlooked due to their imperceptible scale. The exhibition consists of two bodies of work: a group of seven new paintings based on the way the eye perceives reality in different species, and a collection of intimate scale drawings.

WORD: Stripped Stories
http://newyork.ucbtheatre.com/shows/2326
Every month Giulia Rozzi (MTV, VH1.com) & Margot Leitman (Spike TV, VH1) invite comedians, musicians and guests to reveal hysterically honest stories about their sex lives. Giulia and Margot will also each reveal their own juicy stories amidst games, audience interviews and hookups... hopefully. With a combined resume which includes appearances on NBC, ABC, Vh1, MTV, Comedy Central, AMC, ESPN, E!, various guest radio spots, and features in Glamour and Playgirl Magazine, Giulia and Margot easily blended their love of stories, silliness and sex to create Stripped Stories. This themed night of hilarious sex stories has been playing monthly to sold-out audiences since it first began in January 2007. With guests spanning from award winning comedians to regular folks who have never set foot on a stage, Stripped Stories pleases both critics and audience members alike. Each month Giulia and Margot enable audience members to laugh at their own sexual misadventures via the brave guests
who bare their souls on stage. With rave reviews from Time Out NY, The Village Voice, Nerve.com and many others, Stripped Stories is rapidly becoming a must see comedy event (with an after party not-to-miss). With: Michele Carlo (Fish Out Of Aqua, The Moth), Kurt Braunohler ( Montreal Comedy Festival, Vh1), and music by Ben Lerman (Logo TV, Sirius). (UCB Theater, 307 W. 26th Street, 9pm, $5)

Hullabaloo! SAT Feb5
Born Loose,Foster Care,
45 Adapters, Jigglers
DON PEDRO
90 manhattan ave
Saturday, February 5 at 9:00pm - February 6 at 3:00am
It's 2011 and time for us to get back to the business of rocking and rolling!
So, what better place to reee-turn to than the ur-cave of garage-punkitude, that hallowed hall of hellish hilarity, at one time even known as "Death Cult Headquarters USA"... DON PEDRO!
Yes, the Don is under new management but familiar faces abound, including the very welcome face of Mr. Jake Noodles.
Naturally we're starting off with the biggest bang New York can provide with an all-local bill topped with our new garage/punk favorites, BORN LOOSE. This bunch featuring Larry May (ex-Candysnatchers) turn in the sweatiest sock-to-your-jaw rock'n'roll we've seen in quite some time from a local band.
But that's not all-- joining us once again will be the unbeatable street punks 45 Adapters and the sax-blastin' Jigglers.
Not to mention Charles and Shimmy manning the wheels of steal once more as the age-old (and quite stained) Hullabaloo banner is lifted into its rightful place atop the Don's stage.
So make plans now to come out to the NEW Pedro, better than the OLD Pedro on Saturday, February 5th !
