We’re getting down this Sunday as usual. The only two changes for this week are that Ends Meat will be subbing in for Nowadays in the food court, and we’ve created a smoking section so we can keep most of Mister Sunday smoke-free. If you wanna have a cigarette, just head back to the back half of the courtyard behind the main bar. (There are signs around the space that will lead the way.) Finally, we’re starting to get full again, so we do recommend advance tickets.
Eamon Harkin recorded live at Industry City playing solo all day long whilst Justin Carter manned duties at Mister Sunday in London. As has become customary this is two recordings combined into one – one direct from the mixer and one from a microphone perched in a tree just off the dancefloor.
It’s been a busy week over here at the Mister/Nowadays HQ so we’ll let the music do the talking. This Sunday I’ll be opening up Mister Sunday with a full airing of Terry Callier’s ‘Speak Your Peace’.
If you’re in town this holiday weekend, good news! We’ve got you covered for July 4th AND July 5th.
For the Fourth we’re doing a back yard barbecue at Nowadays. It’s not a dance party, but it’ll most definitely be a good time. Eamon and Justin are bringing down back-yard-appropriate-LPs from their home listening collections, and they’ll be playing them in full, on vinyl, from noon onward; the Nowadays kitchen crew (who generally keep it all-American) are adding corn dogs and bomb pops(!!!) to the menu for extra America-ness; aaaaaand, finally, Eamon’s organizing a ping pong tournament. Sign up’s first come, first served, and matches start at 2pm. The winner shall be rewarded. Best thing about all that? It’s free. Just come down.
As for July 5th? Well, it’s Mister Sunday, and you know the drill with that: dancing to good tunes in the great outdoors. What could be better? (By the way, it seems like the advance ticket craze is dying down, so don’t stress it too much if you’re trying to figure out your weekend. We’ll let you know from here out if advance tickets seem like a necessity.)
Hope you have a nice mellow week leading up to the holiday. If you’re going out of town, have a great time, and if you’re sticking around, we hope to see you at least once!

We’ve been plenty excited about our new spot over the past couple weeks. We, of course, haven’t forgotten about the dancing, though. MisterSunday’s on at Industry City again this weekend, same as it ever was: good tunes, good people and good things to eat and drink.
Eamon’s opening this weekend’s festivities with a yet-to-be-determined album, but here’s a listening mix from Justin that was recently posted. Enjoy, and we’ll see you Sunday!
