San Francisco, California.

^^^think this is totally legit but primarily an anglo/American divide and seeing as how there aren't a shitload of Brits in SF seems like kinda a moot point

ya, but there are a ton of anglophile suit wearing hipsters that call something a soul night and then play stuff like this. http://www.myspace.com/soulparty i mean, it's "soul" music, but not really what i'm into.

^^ uh, one of those guys is a friend of mine tbh

FITE!

me and jaxon vs. the scooter patrol

P@ul's a lover not a fighter.

I love tons of British stuff but there is a limit to my anglophilia... like white Americans fetishizing 60s Britishers fetishizing American 60s black culture is too "through the looking glass" for me

not saying they're bad people. just not my thing.

honestly, i don't care - most of what i go to are noise shows of some variety.

do they have dress codes

not even for the performers

ya. i've seen total shutdown before. they were fun. what happened to nate denver besides now he's rapping? and interviewing celebrities for (was it?) complex magazine

referencing paul from soul night

no idea, didn't know N@te. B0b L1nder moved to NYC which I think is the reason that band is no more.

sadness. they were pretty great

speaking of noise-ish shows anybody here seen White Pee...? friend of mine is playing with them now but I haven't seen them yet. They did something last night in Oakland as a duo...

i haven't - i was in sf last night for the Martha Colburn animation thing w/Jad Fair, Michael Evans, John from Deerhoof, etc. show.

My favorite British feteshizers of American music are Heaven 17. And I *totally* fetishize Heaven 17.

i heard you have like 20 copies of human league's dare

yeah, them too

o nice. i went there once when it was Pink and it was pretty corny, but they're trying to appeal to a different crowd apparently. i've been to a few of those 'i can't feel my face' parties at amnesia (saw thomas once) and they're pretty fun

plus SOM is freaking GORGEOUS. big, wide open dancefloor, superb lighting, decent sound. A great improvement from Pink.

tomorrow night

MIKE SIMONETTI

Born in Bayonne NJ, Mike Simonetti grew up a hardcore punk kid in the New York hardcore scene in the mid 1980s. Through friends involved in the club scene, he began going to nightclubs during the heyday of NYC nightlife- the late 1980s. By 1989, he landed a job at the legendary club Mars as a promoter. During that time he became friends with the djs and club promoters of the day, and it was then he got his first taste of djing- going out and working at clubs like Palladium, The Tunnel, Save The Robots, Soul Kitchen, The Red Zone, Building, NASA, The Limelight…

After Mars (and pretty much all the nightclubs in NYC) closed, Mike started Troubleman Unlimited Records - releasing seminal releases by Unwound, Erase Errata, Glass Candy, Black Dice, Death Comet Crew, Wolf Eyes, Pixeltan, Chromatics, The Walkmen, Devendra Banhart, and over 170 other releases spanning every imaginable genre and format. The label is still going strong with flagship bands Glass Candy, Growing, Chromatics, and Wolf Eyes taking over the world.

In 1998 Mike started his first weekly party in NYC at the Knitting Factory called “Contort Yourself” focusing on reviving old disco and post punk. During that time Mike was a resident DJ at the infamous Happy Birthday Hideout loft parties in Brooklyn. The HBH parties were known to pack in over 600 people a month and sometimes go almost 12 hours straight into the next afternoon.

In 2003, Mike and Chris Catalyst, his partner from Happy Birthday Hideout, started “Aerosol Burns”- a weekly party at the very tiny bar Boogaloo in Brooklyn.

Currently, Mike is known as the Italians Do It Better head honcho and globe-trotting DJ.

LINGER & QUIET

In 2002, Matthew Quiet and Geneveive Dellinger met on the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Genevieve was playing in the seminal freak folk band Jackie-O-Motherfucker while Matthew had been exhaustively collecting techno and house records. 4 years later they would run into each other again in Portland, OR, and eventually get married.

Their common interest in weird outsider pop music and house parties would lead them to start their renowned NIGHTCLUBBING party at Portland's famed Holocene. Inspired largely by Beats in Space and Optimo, the night's humble roots have developed into the epicenter of a blossoming local scene of psychedelic, basement level house music. Their monthly podcast (www.lingerandquiet.com) has come to define the Portland sound and spread their reach far beyond the Pacific Northwest.

TOMORROW NITE BEFORE NEON INDIAN/NITE JEWEL/JONAS REINHARDT DJS!
