Shakin' w/DJ JONATHAN TOUBIN & sax maniac JAMES CHANCE February 18, 2011

SHAKIN' ALL OVER UNDER SIDEWAYS DOWN! New York Night Train's weekly rough and ready maximum rock'n'soul get-down featuring the action-packed sets of North America's most popular soul party DJ, MR. JONATHAN TOUBIN (http://newyorknighttrain.com/soulclap/jtbio.html) - where he turns only the most exquisite R&B, garage, girl groups,rockabilly, British invasion, soul, doo wop, etc exclusively on HUGE-SOUNDING ORIGINAL 45RPM VINYL RECORDS through Home Sweet Home's state-of-the-art sound system for your dancing pleasure!

In honor of fashion week, NYNT has hired the most stylish rock star of all time to lovingly punch his public in the face once again.... (drum roll please)... the originator not... only of the NO WAVE music genre, but also dance punk in general, MR JAMES CHANCE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Chance). For all you greenhorns, James isn't only a prolific solo artist but is of course best known as the leader of the CONTORTIONS (http://www.myspace.com/jameschanceandthecontortions) and JAMES WHITE & THE BLACKS (http://www.myspace.com/jameswhiteandtheblacksmusic). Maybe you recognize him from the cover of Thurston Moore's book about No Wave or one of the many others hitting the shelves the last few years? I dunno if its on TV yet but they've certainly been making movies. The man is finally getting his due again. And, every time James rolls into the party he selects some insanely funky music, jumps on the bar, and blows his saxophone all over the club and everyone goes bananas. This is the reason you moved to New York from the piss-ant suburb that reared you. Thank us for a funky time in advance...

FREE BEFORE 11PM & AFTER 3AM...

speaking of that, starting this week, we now kick off our party w/METROPOLIS VINTAGE's ROCK & SOUL HAPPY HOUR from 8-11pm with ETHAN MILLER of the OUTSIDE EYE (http://theoutsideeye.tumblr.com/) - get in early for free and get some of the good stuff...

"Let Jonathan Toubin's vinyl collection lull you into a sweat-bathed soul stupor in a setting not unlike your grandpa's basement--complete with taxidermy and concrete floor." - Eva Medoff, "Time Out" (New York's 5 "Best Indie Dance Parties", Jan 11, 2011)

"Jonathan Toubin is the only person we can call a "professional DJ" without involuntarily making a jack-off motion with our hand... His parties are like what Ancient Stonehenge was like if it was, as archaeologists theorize, filled with people dressed many times better than you completely losing their shit." - Mike de Leon (Vice)

"New York Night Train's Jonathan Toubin throws the raddest underground rock parties in New York" - Alexander Thompson (Paper Magazine)

"A shimmy-worthy mix of maximum rock'n'soul" (New York Post)
