New York Night Train Wednesday with Jello Biafra March 24, 2010

A downtown institution for over three years, the "Cheers" of the Lower East Side's rock and roll underground, New York Night Train Wednesday is where conductor Mr Jonathan Toubin tests out his latest jams before anyone else gets to hear them on the world's dancefloors - plus he also turns occasional punk classics and other old favorites for you to either sing along with or criticize him for playing. Your other pals, Hari Kupian behind the bar and Marc Ryan at the door, are also working at this, Mr/ T's only mellow hangout night.

This week is kinda special because Senor JELLO BIAFRA himself is doing two DJ sets (JB's in town with his new band Guantanamo School of Medicine - they play at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple the following night). This is far from some kind of celebrity gig. Jello, who spun the November Soul Clap in San Francisco, has more records than anybody you've ever met, some killer and very exquisite taste from many genres, and knows how to shake a room to boot. Also, when he's not DJ-ing, Jello's a friendly approachable gent who has plenty to discuss with you. Fall by and hang out.

Also, we're charging $3 cover to give directly to Mr. Biafra for doing such an intimate gig. While its both customary and typically encouraged for NY Night Train friends to email/text Mr. Toubin to get on the list for this kind of thing, this time we wanna get our man some dough - so only you unemployed bastards on the list this time.
