So long Tainted Lady!

Leave a comment

On a personal note, this Friday, June 23rd, will be the last time I deejay a garage night at the Tainted Lady Lounge in Williamsburg, which I’m sorry to report is closing at the end of the next week. Come out to hear some of the best djs in New York playing rare and amazing garage! Guest DJs will include the current drummer for the Miscreants – Jeff Cuyubamba, Bossy Boots, and Michael Robinson.

The Tainted Lady Lounge
318 Grand St at Havemeyer
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
10 til late, no cover

For over a year now I’ve had a monthly gig there to play whatever the hell I want. In that time I’ve mercilessly subjected the Williamsburg trendites, neighborhood thugs and slumming pinheads with hours of fuzz-driven vinyl wrecks. For the most part, people stick around, but that’s due to the retro soft-core atmosphere and the charms of bartender Noemi more than any affinity for garage punk. I’ll really miss my nights there and all the fun and mayhem that came with them. Thank you Deb Parker for giving me the dj spot with no strings attached.
