nyc nightlife 5 years ago may 2005
may 5, 2005 new order played hammerstein ballroom. I dont think theyve played a good show since the 'Brotherhood" tour nor a good record since 'Technique' - 21 years ago :(
my favourite new order show was their 1st nyc show ever at hurrah on the upper west side [lincoln center area] in the spring of 1981. they were still a 3 piece, gillian hadnt joined yet, and some of the songs incl. ceremony, in a lonely place, procession, everythings gone green, dreams never end, and little dead [temptation]. and they still looked like joy division with skinny ties, white shirt rolled at elboy, grey flannel trousers. also saw good NO shows in 80s at felt forum, roxy, and paradise garage !!!
* also fischer spooner was at canal room. timo maas was at cielo. distortion disko was at duvet. duvet turned into a rap club & it's closed. fishy spoony - lets note how quickly the BK electro scene went from European magazines to the newspaper recycling bin.
may 6, 2005 sasha was at crobar with josh wink opening.
may 7, 2005 Mis-Shapes was every Saturday at luke & leroy on varick st., with djs the syrup girls, leigh & greg. jj & chris were up from DC. top tunes on the night incl. this charming man, suede beautiful ones, jnr snr move your feet, hole celebrity skin & kelly's since you been gone. **3/4 of 5 stars. how to assess mis-shapes in spring '05? Tiswas music with a crazier & younger crowd & Townsend Scott's picture wall.
may 11, 2005 baby hector romero was at table 50 [now mr. black]. Mr Black changed addresses a few times. Choo Choon Romero is bettter than baby hec & David Morales is... well as legendary as any house DJ & Im seeing him on Saturday !!!!!!!
may 12, 2005 the rapture dj-ed at rothko. like fishy spoony another magazine band ... 5 years later they didnt make any money & 5 years hence they will be forgotten.
may 14, 2005 Mis-Shapes' Saturdays at 7th ave South luke & leroy with djs damien & chris from the explosion, jarod abbott, sheal, leigh, & geordon. top tunes: moz' international playboys, smiths' ask, cure friday im in love, ramones blitzkreig bop, ca plane pour moi [american version?], wire 3 girl rhumba & esther's ray of light. guests incl. macky duggan 9sweet boy from Heatherette], austin scarlett, fancy from fannypack, & sophia lamarr. fun night ***3/4 of 5 stars. Remember sitting by the window upstairs & THAT PANORAMIC VIEW OF VARICK & nyc AT NIGHT?
* and andy rourke from the smiths dj-ed at tiswas but no one in their right mind would want to hear that, ya know?! I read this week that Morrissey is worth $32 Million ! and what does andy have in the bacnk? $30,000?
may 15, 2005 rockethouse played the frying pan on the west side highway. one of the few bands I loved dearly from the NYC rock revolution 2000-5.
may 16, 2005 the bravery played irving plaza. suffice to say Duran Duran will be remembered in 50 years. the ersatz Bravery?? NOPE.
may 20, 2005 sander kleinenberg was at crobar. hot hot heat was at webster hall. the ordinary boys were at mercury lounge.
may 21, 2005 Mis-Shapes saturday mania luke & leroy's with djs tommie sunshine & kill hannah. guests inl. richie rich, donna baxter, man from MOLLOY, shiela & larissa from boonton, tarts of pleasure & astro earle. top tunes incl. bravery fearless, & bloc party. and tommie really banged out the hard house & electro ***1/2 of 5 stars.
also Kai from As Four got into about 8 fights and was repeatedly evicted from the club. In some way his gonzo behaviour was an epitaph for the whole scene as it existed to that point: it's all memories now.
may 25, 2005 benzos, syrup girls & spencer product were at hiro ballroom. since annex closed, spencer doesnt seem out & about as much .. I truly miss him - one of the best gents this century. I really miss Ruff but 'All Things Must Pass.'
may 26, 2005 distortion disko at duvet, celebrating 1st issue of gazelleland magazine, photos by conrad ventur. with larry tee spinning some great electro and guests michael T, richie rich, sophia lamarr & kenny kenny. a wild good time! ***3/4 of 5 stars. Jesus this sounds like 1905 not 2005.
may 29, 2005 MFer had its 5th anniversary at the roxy. MFer got a lot of press. never my kind of crowd: so scuzzy. and of course bickering between the promoters ended in tears [and punches].
Never saw the MFer film - I didnt like the party to begin with.
* my favourite cds in may 2005 incl maximo park a certain trigger [God how many superficial bands have had 1 or 2 songs in the 21st century- I feel like throwing up]. rockethouse weapons of mass deception- it was on kanine - if kat & lio can give us surfer blood & grizzley bear, how about paying for a RH LP??]. ivy in the clear [genius ny/french cafe Pop - 5 years later- how about a new LP?
dj sneak live at OM (when is sneak coming to fluid?]. the bravery's debut LP [well theyre better than the Killers, but both bands suck], danny howell's ' GU027:miami' [this is the most amazing 2 CD mix - Ive listened to it 500 times SWEAR!!! and the new Oasis Lp track 'mucky fingers.' and the last good song Oasis ever put out with Noel Gallagher in the band. what a bunch of wallies.

this is MARCH 2005:
this is MARCH 2005:
this is MARCH 2005: nyc nightlife 5 years ago:
march 5, 2005 secret machines headlined irving plaza with moving units & autolux opening up. as always the machines are pure dynamite in a live context.
march 11, 2005 patrick demarchelier opened his fashion photo exhibit at tony shafrazi gallery with guests anna wintour, her daughter bee shaeffer, stephanie seymour, john casablancas, katie ford and andre balazs. patrick charges $10 to remove un-flattering pics?? not cricket
march 12, 2005 danny tenaglia celebrated his birthday with his debut dj set a nyc's crobar. it was to date the best crobar set Ive heard from the amazing DT & it was among my top sets of 2005, at least ****1/2 stars out of 5 stars. Crobar became M2 and I dont know anyone who thinks its cool. DT is at Pacha in April & he remains solidly among the 10 best DJs ever, in fact at his best he's top 3-5. and after all this time !!
march 17, 2005 st patrick's day at crobar with the great carl cox. it was a strong set fom coxy but not the best he can bring: [his recent crobar 2006 set was ***** of 5 in my estimation, best set Ive heard in 2006 so far.] . Carl's been releasing some mega CDs out of Ibiza since 2009; and when I last heard him at Pacha he was in the 4-5* range, but the crowd made it impossible to hang comfortably for more than 2-3 hours.
* started out the night at Bar 13 with michael from laguna meth at alex english's Broadcast party.
march 18, 2005 holland's sander kleinenberg headlined crobar. sander played santos last week. good match.
march 19, 2005 deep dish was at crobar.
march 24, 2005 the bravery was at rothko on the LES. their debut Lp turned into one of 2005's surprise hits, with several popular club tracks.
march 25, 2005 kaisar chiefs were at bowery ballroom. dj ayres' the rub was at southpaw.
march 26, 2005 roger sanchez headlined crobar with a strong set that i rated **** of 5 stars. the S-Man returns to crobar in may & you do not want to miss one of the world's very best djs. We dont get s-man as much as 5, 10 years ago, but he's consistently in the worldwide Top 10- rees-pecc !!
* started out the night at luke & leroy with guest djs the sounds & aaron hicklin. top tunes on the night were maximo park's 'apply some pressure' and interpol's 'slow hands.' I also met the very sexy shiela and larissa from boonton, NJ, 2 of the tri-state area's most massive hotties.
omg mis-shapes- 5 years ago, a blink of an eye.
** also lio from kanine joined nick marc dj-ing at tiswas. christian smith played sullivan room. and orange park played arlene's grocery.
kanine is rocking with grizzly bear & surfer blood: hi kat !
* other popular venues in march 2005 incl. the darkroom, gypsy tea, passerby, ruby falls, cain, n/a, pink elephant, & marquee. note how many of those have already moved, changed their names or gone out of business....that tells you a lot about the transience of nyc nightlife.
* my favourite Lps in march 2005 were secret machines 'now here is nowhere,' morrissey's 'live at the royal albert hall,' IVY's 'in the clear,' & danny howells' 'GU27:miami." Ive listened to that Howells GU27 about 400 times, literally !!!!!!!
* some of the top fashion models in march 2005 incl. doutzen kroes, emina cunmulaj, lily donaldson, natasha poly, euguenia volodina, inguna butane & last but definitely not least, louise pedersen from denmark.
* my favourite film in march 2005 was morrissey's 'who put the 'M' in manchester?' which I saw a theatre screening of at the loew's on west 42nd st, march 28, 2005, thank you to mark nelson, & alex english was once again in the house!! just bought the DVD: moz on film yayy !!
** listening to: paul oakenfold live at creamfields, buenos aires argentina, 12/05, queen 'we will rock you' bootleg white label hard house dance remix
*** miles davis carnegie hall 1965 pts I & 2.
*** AND FIFTEEN years before, march 3, 1990 I saw the jesus & mary chain at the ritz [old studio 54] on west 54th st on the AUTOMATIC tour. ***

nyc nightlife march 2000 - 10 years ago this month
nyc nightlife march 2000 - 10 years ago this month
march 2 2000 beavher at don hill's incl guest matt dillon & top tunes you should be dancin, the israelites & it takes 2. ***1/2 of 5 stars
* the same night derrick carter began his monthly subliminal sessions residency at centrofly. Ive caught derrick several times in 2008-2010-he's my greatest dj inspiration ever.
march 4 2000 tiswas was at don hills every saturday night, this night feat. general kingpin from england playing ; and sarah cracknell 'lipslide'; giveaways.
march 9, 2000 beavher at don hill's included guests carmen kass, frankie rayder, rachel peters, shoshanna lonstein, tessa benson, christina greeven, eleanor lembo ylvisaker, anne dexter-jones, mick jones, and serena altschul. sam ronson's lil' red performed, superfuzz opened. remember when sam had singer-song-writer ambitions? I guess damon dash can dash anyone's hopes. it was 1 of my top social events of 2000.
* the same night bob sinclar was at subliminal at centrofly. in the last 5 years, sinclar has had 2 of the biggest club hits worldwide, with 'love generation' & 'world hold on.' I think david guetta took it even further.
march 10 2000 jeff mills & dave hollands were at twilo
march 15 2000 the toilet boys headlined lust for life at life on bleecker.
march 16, 2000 beavher with guests karen ferrari, vitty, jen stillwell, & sam buffa. top tunes: 'take a chance on me' 'monkey man' burning up, start me up, & 'jive talkin'
march 17 2000 dimitri from amsterdam was at twilo. the same night dj x dream & charles feelgood were at the roxy.
march 18, 2000 tiswas was headlined by Interpol & Fictura. here's fictura's set: over the moon. how she got that way. telephone high. money man. beggars & saints. love walks away. fiction affair. never tonite. nightlife. / encore: without words.
nick marc's best song was 'rubber ring.' **** of 5 stars. its pretty amazing to think that 10 years ago we got interpol, fictura And a great tiswas night at don hills !!! early Interpol def rules.
march 23, 2000 beavher with guests vincent gallo, diana balton & karen ferrari in attendance. top tunes from frank's jukebox: rock with you, i wonder if i take you home, 'the hustle' ***3/4 of 5 stars
march 24, 2000 I saw paul oakenfold at the roxy, dave ralph & mark lewis opening up. with all this talk of a 'new rave' movement in 2007,. I have to confess that the ravey good vibes & outer space atmosphere of the best 90s & 2000-ish rave events is going to be hard to match nowadays. oakenfold at the roxy thanksgiving 1999 remains the single greatest set ive ever heard from him [and Ive heard many] but this march 2000 roxy perfecto rave was also extraordinary, his set was akin to his famous CDs 'cream residence,' 'travelling' and even 'GU 02 NY" but harder, more clubby & simply more intense. it was 1 of my best club nights of 2000 and still ranks as one of the best dj sets Ive heard this century ****3/4 of 5 stars . positive vibes in the house.
* the same night 'the stafford lads' [the salford lads, smiths tribute act] played don hills. and paul van dyk was at twilo!!
march 28 2000 the butterflies of love were at brownies on ave A.
march 31 2000 sasha & john digweed were at twilo. and john acquaviva was at exit on west 56th st. Its notable that 10 years later, many of the key venues of 2000 are closed. twilo, brownies, life. and roxy is rarely open.
april 1, 2000 anne summers from DC was at tiswas with nimbus opening up. anne summers was a very under-rated alternative pop band that deserved much more success than they achieved. another great find at tiswas from nick marc, Im pleased to own 2 of their CDs, check them out.
my business meetings in march 2000 incl PAPER Magazine. we all start somewhere [?]
my horoscope lucky colours for march 2000 incl silver, purple, white, yellow & green.

march 28 2000 the butterflies of love were at brownies on ave A.
march 31 2000 sasha & john digweed were at twilo. and john acquaviva was at exit on west 56th st. Its notable that 10 years later, many of the key venues of 2000 are closed. twilo, brownies, life. and roxy is rarely open.
april 1, 2000 anne summers from DC was at tiswas with nimbus opening up. anne summers was a very under-rated alternative pop band that deserved much more success than they achieved. another great find at tiswas from nick marc, Im pleased to own 2 of their CDs, check them out.
my business meetings in march 2000 incl PAPER Magazine. we all start somewhere [?]
my horoscope lucky colours for march 2000 incl silver, purple, white, yellow & green.
