man, if i wasn't at Groove Armada in NYC, i'd be at Ancient Astronauts too.  life is a long series of choices...

groove armada proved to be a very respectable consolation for missing AA.  show was really really good, bordering on excellent. i was expecting something more along the lines of house & electronica, instead got a full band doing electro-pop. place was hoppin', literally - the floor at webster hall is a total springboard. and yes, they had frikken LASERS.

fyi, will and jesse will be doing most of the booking, but i'll be doing the occasional show there (of course, anything off-the-wall that you notice).

That's awesome. There are a bunch of acts that would be too big for the Velvet or a house/warehouse space that other venues around here wouldn't touch.

main topics: their no-camera policy (love it), and.... brightest young things.

God, BYT sucks.


At least they finally got the hint and stopped trolling this board with their crap.

[sweetcell]

To their credit, when BYT wasn't allowed taking pix they handed out pads and paper and asked people to draw images... Made for some funny submissions. I hope they do that again.

friday may 14: hercules and love affair dj set
friday may 21: derrick carter

cool

[betao]

that derrick carter gig has my interest. what is U-street like atmosphere/crowd wise?

[sweetcell]

couldn't tell ya, i haven't made it there yet.  i suspect it's relatively laid back for a dance club, not in with the beautiful crowd (yet)... could be wrong.

The BYT photog equates a ban on party photos with limiting freedom of speech?  Douche.

Its kind of a sweaty dance floor mess, by the time 1am rolls around its sticky sticky hot in there.

Been on capacity nights, so amazing.

Michael Mayer is gonna bring the house down. Too bad it is on a Tuesday night, I hope he goes on before midnight.

doesn't he wear a mask, can never die and kill girls in their panties?  oops . . . wrong michael.

Did anyone see Mayer last week? I didn't go because I had a feeling he wouldn't go on until after midnight (yeah, :paddytanniger, caddiemanager:?) and I was right. I was in Detroit for the Festival, he played on Sunday, the day I left. He's one of my favorites. German techno is incredible.
