Next Up, Mister Saturday and Mister S
After a two-floored New Year’s Eve party and a collaboration with Spank, Mister Saturday Night heads back to the basics: one dancefloor, two residents, one guest and a real nice set of speakers. We love a big to-do, but simplicity is golden.
Our guest is none other than Omar S, who, making his third showing at MSN, will become our most frequent musical companion. It’s no wonder why we’ve asked him back as often as we have. In addition to consistently producing tracks that make their way into Justin and Eamon’s sets (note the two appearances on their NYE mix), he’s a phenomenal DJ, a master of dancefloor hypnosis.
This will also be the last time that Eamon and Justin play together in the home loft for a couple months. Justin’s headed off to Berlin for February, March and April (see the note at the bottom), and their only joint gigs for a while will be in Europe. That makes this a going-away party of sorts, and they’ll definitely be pulling out the stops to make it right.
Everything else that usually makes it special will be in effect as well, with a reasonably priced bar run by folks with a sweet demeanor, free beer from 10pm to 11pm, a door staff that’s genteel and a space that feels like home. It’s always good to be here.
Advance tickets are here. Party details are over in ‘Our Next Party’ section on your right.
note. To be clear, Justin’s not pulling an escape from New York/everything’s better in Berlin move… New York beats Berlin every Mister Saturday Night of the year as far as he’s concerned. It’s just a work thing.
Brian Eno Jamming In The Studio
We’ve just stumbled upon seven videos of Brian Eno improvising in the studio with Leo Abrahams and Jon Hopkins, who both collaborated on his recent Warp release, Small Craft On A Milk Sea. This is one of them. If you want to see them all, check here.
Other Nights of the Halloweek
This Saturday, we’ve got a party. But not just any party; it’s Halloween, and we’re dressing things up more than usual at 12-turn-13. While we’re hanging the decorations from the ceilings and filling up the bathtub for apple-bobbing, our minds will be elsewhere – it’s a good week to go out in New York.
For our more cerebral side, there’s an orchestral tribute to Italian-Jewish writer/chemist Primo Levi at Asia Society; and for the side of us that likes to get weirded out, there’s a reading by Oxbow singer, Eugene Robinson, who is insane (see picture above). Thursday, from 5 to 7 at Other Music, a photo exhibition about the Magnetic Fields opens, and Stephin Merritt, the band’s leader, plays the background music.
Fabulous Diamonds, a two-piece drone band with slow-chugging drums and effect-laden analog synths, plays Todd P’s Monster Island Basement on Friday, and on Sunday, the day after our Hallowed affair, the real Halloween takes place, again with Mister P. He’s got a big show happening at the Ridgewood Masonic Temple with Janka Nabay, the Sierra Leonese king of Bubu Music. Finally, Jonathan Richman helps you come down on Monday. Details for everything after the jump. Continue reading “Other Nights of the Halloweek”
What You Think
Did you come to the party on Saturday? We were psyched about how the night went, but there are a few tweaks we’re thinking of making. Before we do that, though, we want to know your opinion. After all, you make the party happen as much as we do.
How was your experience at the bar? Did you love the space? Think we could do something different? The sound, the crowd, the layout: we want your opinion on everything, whether positive, negative or ambivalent.
