This Labor Day DECLASSIFIED honors the many accomplishments of workers that don’t have to come in early on a Tuesday morning – particularly the beautiful ladies and gentlemen of the service industry who like to party, go out frequently, and know how to tip. Tonight we bring them a dynamic DJ trio of, from Olympia WA, DJ DUB NARCOTIC SELECTOR, better known as the cultural force that is K-Records owner and founder Beat Happening/Dub Narcotic Sound System leader CALVIN JOHNSON, DJ NAME NAMES, otherwise known as Vice TV’s Soft Focus moderator and the voice for such legendary bands as Weird War, Scene Creamers, Make-Up, Cupid Car Club, and Nation of Ulysses, IAN SVENONIUS, and DECLASSIFIED resident DJ MR JONATHAN TOUBIN of New York Night Train. Locals CRYSTAL STILTS, whose domestic and international cult has been spreading like wildfire since their Pitchfork 8.3 and regular touring, create a unique subtle sonic fusion of minimalist post punk garage pop. PUDDIN’ TANG, who rose a couple of years ago from the ashes of veteran bands like the Witnesses and the Rondelles, are one of Williamsburg’s top indie party bands - laying down a barrage of self-penned swampy Velvet Underground informed urban masterpieces. The stunning MS ANNA COPACABANA go go dances and the legendary MIGHTY ROBOT AV SQUAD blow your mind with their multimedia visuals. Everything the final chapter of your Labor Day party will require that doesn’t involve JERRY LEWIS.
Santos’ Party House and New York Night Train got together to create a weekly underground rock’n’roll party unlike any other our city has seen, DECLASSIFIED - the finest underground rock bands and DJs in the world with projectionists, go go dancers, and performance every Monday. The last few weeks have seen not only regular house crew of DJ Mr. Jonathan Toubin and Go Go Dancer Anna Copacabana, but also performances by the likes of King Khan and the BBQ, Awesome Color, Jon Spencer’s Heavy Trash, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, James Chance, and the Homosexuals and guest DJs like Gibby Haynes, Ian Svenonius, Crypt Records’ Tim Warren, and Smashed-Blocked’s Josh Styles.
