In the last year New York Night Train’s Soul Clap and Dance-Off exploded worldwide to become North America’s most popular soul party! The concept is simple – all night dancing to wild 45s of superstar maximum rock and soul DJ Mr. Jonathan Toubin and, in the middle, a $100 dance contest judged by a panel of local celebrities. Recession-friendly mass entertainment (always $5), the dance party/spectacle has brought its excitement to domestic markets all the way from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine and internationally from Tel Aviv to Mexico City – including monthlly residencies in New York, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Oakland, and PDX. Also the Dance-Off portion features judges from every edge of music and culture from classic subcultural icons like Mike Watt and Jello Biafra, to rock stars Andrew Van Wyngarden (MGMT) and Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), to interesting cultural figures like Satanic Priestess Karla LaVey and Green Party Vice Presidential Candidate Matt Gonzalez to your favorite neighborhood heroes. Catch The Soul Clap!
“Jonathan Toubin is the only person we can call a “professional DJ” without involuntarily making a jack-off motion with our hand…. his parties are like what Ancient Stonehenge was like if it was, as archaeologists theorize, filled with people dressed many times better than you completely losing their shit.”
– Mike de Leon, VICE
” New York Night Train’s Jonathan Toubin throws the raddest underground rock parties in New York”
– Alexander Thompson, Paper Magazine
“A shimmy-worthy mix of maximum rock’n’soul”
– New York Post
“DJ Jonathan Toubin spins the 45s. The mid-’60s to early-’70s r &b and funk will have you dancing with the stars.” – Sharyn Jackson, Village Voice
“New York’s premier dusty 45 party, attracting rockers, mods and dandies alike.” – Time Out Chicago
“Genius”
– Josiah Hughes, Exclaim!
“An eve of 45-rpm soul sizzlin’ and expressive dance.” – Lina Lecaro, LA Weekly
“Ridiculous and fun” – Jennifer Maerz, SF Weekly
“Soultastic” – Courtney Ferguson, Portland Mercury

Ever seen a ’70s t-shirt with a drawing of a “New Wave” Bugs Bunny dressed up in a leather jacket, surrounded by logos of bands like RICHARD HELL, THE SAINTS, THE DEAD BOYS, THE RAMONES and TALKING HEADS? Well no, we didn’t either until we came across one while searching for more of the vintage rock, punk, metal and goth shirts for you to check out. METROPOLIS VINTAGE is fully stocked with a wide array of vintage rock t-shirts, whatever your taste. We’ve got classic rock like the ROLLING STONES, GRATEFUL DEAD or BOB DYLAN and old ’70s ALICE COOPER shirts. We’ve got thrashed metal shirts from ANTHRAX and SLAYER to more obscure rare punk & new wave fare like BUSH TETRAS and THE GUN CLUB. Looking for a SMITHS or MORRISSEY T-shirt? A DEVO shirt that comes with an original concert stub from a show back in 1982? Vintage CRAMPS or DEAD BOYS shirt? We’ve got “All This And More” down at METROPOLIS VINTAGE store or on our ETSY site on the web!
