THIS WEEKEND AT SOUTHPAW, WE BRING YOU TWO DIVERSE OFFERINGS THAT WILL SATISFY ALL YOUR MUSICAL NEEDS... FRIDAY NIGHT!!! The Southpaw debut of I LOVE VINYL (on the B-SIDE). CHECK STORY BELOW! SATURDAY NIGHT!!! Brooklyn's own Andy Friedman brings his poetic music home. TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE READ MORE ON ANDY BELOW THE WEEKEND@SOUTHPAW.. Founded by NYC-based dj/producer Scribe in the Summer of 2009, with a Dream Team of resident romantics, Wax Poetics, Halcyon, Raw Fusion, Great Weekend, and Fusicology present this monthly all-vinyl oasis on 4th Saturdays, at the Gallery Bar at (Le) Poisson Rouge. I Love Vinyl: On the B-Side is a Brooklyn extension of the franchise which began with a huge blowout at Brooklyn Bowl in the Spring of 2010. On the B-Side moves to Southpaw in 2011. All-stars Master Khan (Great Weekend), Ge-Ology, Amir (Kon & Amir), Scribe, OP! (Decon) and Jon Oliver (The Main Ingredient/EVR) comprise the Dream Team. The sounds are mind-wide, foot-friendly, and snap crackle popping. Anything is fair game, but you will probably hear some soul, disco, dilla, boogie, hustle, hip-hop, old-school house, no wave, new jack swing, dancefloor jazz, latin, funk, electro, and afrobeat. No pretentious bullshit, no dress code, no commercial radio nonsense, and no laptops allowed. I LOVE VINYL is FRIDAY, MARCH 11. DOORS 10PM. Andy Friedman, who The New Yorker aptly calls, "A true Artist," will be playing his entire new album LASERBEAMS AND DREAMS on this night. It will be preceded by a set of Andy's other widely (and deservedly) critically praised material. A great artist all of Brooklyn should be proud to call our neighbor. Andy brings his poetic storytelling and great songs for the hometown crowd this weekend at Southpaw. Also on the bill are Welcome Wagon, Jen Chapin, and Session Americana.
