KB!B DJ Explosion, this Saturday, 9:30-2:30
Mickey's
Free
We do this the first Saturday of each month. This time out it's EIGHTIES...EIGHTIES...EIGHTIES ~ SUBWOOFER EDITION
I am bringing Tones On Tail, Bryan Ferry, Madonna, Go-Gos, Arcadia, Specials, Missing Persons, Human League, Adam & The Ants, B-52s debut, Eurythmics, PiL, etc.
Three other DJs makes 4. I know Newlow will be slangin' LCD Soundsystem, Bloc Party and MIA along with the Madonna remixes, so there will be some relief from the 80s onslaught. Special guest this month is DJ Adam2.
The residency continues...

It's that time again--our residency continues.
So, we did the DJ Explosion! thing again on
saturday night. It's a monthly residency at the hip tavern in our 'hood
(the whole band lives within a six-block radius, which is great).
Instead of playing as a band with instruments--that seems like an
outmoded classification since one of the "instruments" in the band is a
mixer + decks
but anyway--all the band members have been showing up with vinyl and
doing consecutive sets. We've done this 4 or 5 times now, and it's a
blast.
This time out Bucky Pope was guest DJ.
The theme was PUNK ROCK!
I started off the night with a history lesson set, kicking things
off right with with Bowie ("Rebel Rebel") and New York Dolls
("Personality Crisis.") If I remember correctly, the rest of the set
was as follows:
Velvet Underground - 1966 bootleg with incredibly weird John Cale drone
The Clash, "Charlie Don't Surf"
Generation X - "Night of the Cadillacs"
Violent Femmes - "Hallowed Ground"
Replacements "My Favorite Thing"
Husker Du - "Crystal"
Sounds of History - 1981 newscast on degenerate youth
Black Flag - "Six Pack"
Mecht Mensch "Acceptance"
Blondie "Hangin' on the Telephone"
Tones On Tail, "Go!"
David Byrne/Brian Eno, "Regiment"
Robin Davies turned in an incredible set fed by his collection of punk and hardcore 45s and ...flexi-discs. I'd like to obtain his set list. There was a lot of Midwest hardcore--Killdozer and Imminent Attack. Killer.
Bucky's set was electic-o but very good, considering I was explaining
to him how to get a headphone mix vs. a room mix five minutes before he
went on.
