And Tuesday night if you're not going to the PS 261 Inauguration Ball at The Bell House, celebrate at Barbes with the most festive band on earth (or in Brooklyn anyway):
SLAVIC SOUL PARTY.
Best Reason Tuesdays are the New Friday. Best of The Village Voice
2007.
Balkan Party. Every Tuesday. For ever! Fiery Gypsy brass, soulful
Balkan anthems, and hip-grinding American funk: Slavic Soul Party! is
just what it says. Brash and strong as slivovitz, these nine musicians
have forged a virtuosic new brass band music in the heart of New York
City; their half-decade bacchanal is a destination for locals as well
as brass and Balkan fans from around the globe. SSP!'s last three cds
(Teknochek Collision, Remixed, and Bigger) are all available from
Barbès Records. John Carlson & Ben Holmes (trumpet), Peter Hess
(sax/clarinet), Roland Barber and Tim Vaughn (trombone), Ron Caswell
(tuba), Peter Stan (accordion),

I will be flying my flag at half-mast for the systematic death of our 2nd Ammendment rights which will be brought on by Obama and Biden.
Southpaw’s website now says they’re opening their doors at 7pm….although I cannot figure out when or if they’re going to play the actual speech.
