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!

wow that's um tiny

anyway, next Thursday, Bottom of the Hill, we are playing yes

will try to make it Shakey!

baaaah how i miss living here. i prefer the ability to wear sweaters over raggedy t-shirts when you've got nothing else to wear, tho. you only get that kind of weather in denver.

Was in town for On Land and pretty busy so sorry I didn't get in touch with folks. Great times had, though -- anyone else at the shows?

i wish i didn't have to think of it in financial terms but - there were about 8 or 9 acts i wanted to see, and they were spread between the four shows, and half of them were folks i could see at house shows for free/a few bucks, plus there's the crappy parking situation, and the expensive alcohol situation, and the high ticket charge, so, no, i didn't go.

week from tonight in west oakland

Sorcerer playing Madrone on Saturday (not headlining). I would go but I already have tickets to Laurie Anderson. Sort of a good news bad news thing.
