nyc nightlife in nov 2004 - 5 years ago this month

nov 4, 2004 tony humphries celebrated his birthday at his discoteque 19th st. weekly residence. i dont even think discoteque is open in 2009, 19th st off of 5th ave.

nov 5 2004 DJ Vibe from Portugal & the low end specialists were at spirit. LES played a great progressive opening set & Vibe's tribal tech couldnt quite compete this night- usually Vibe is among the best in the world. spirit's crowd was abysmal & guido/nj as always **1/2 of 5 stars . spririt's been closed a couple of years now after several chelsea deaths. vibe comes to ny about 2 times yearly, he's still among my top 5 or so djs.

nov 11 2004 larry tee's outsider fest at crobar, an amazing gathering of electronic & house styles. guests incl christine ruggiero, amanda lepore, rupaul and ARE Weapons. first in the reed room: shiela e the glamorous life. then the glimmers & whitey spun hot club sets in the main room. junior vasquez came on at 2 am & kickstarted the night into house overdrive. top tunes incl tamyra grey raindrops will fall. destinys lose my breath. ellis d hands off. cece peniston a deeper love. morales' how wld u feel. do it properly. nasty girl. all 3 rooms were great all night & it was a fun & flamboyant mix like limelight or tunnel in the 90s. one of my best club nights of 2004 **** of 5 stars. many of the acts larry booked that night were electro, but it was a tougher and funkier version they the weak-poppy-ish electro one hears in 2009. in fact electro is sometimes a bad word in 2009. junior was glorious in crobar's big room. now it's m2, i have never gone.

nov 13 2004 nick marc celebrated his birthday at tiswas at don hills with royston langdon's new band perfornming. in 2006 royston is back with Arc Kid & some are predicting his music career does have a second act. actually if spacehog was even a 1st act, there was no second act. and liv tyler split from royston and moved to la with baby milo.
