The Return of Detroit :: Photo Recap!

Posted on November 24, 2010 by metropolisvintage

Forgot to get a cassette tape of The Return of Detroit bands?

Bid on one NOW: http://bit.ly/gnxjRs

Starting off the night was none other than Mr. Mick Collins (Dirtbombs, Gories) DJing the entire fun filled night from 9pm to 4am. What a marathon run that included Mick and our Saxophonist Chuck Hancock trading riffs, YES that’s right, Mick DJing from his Sony VAIO computer was in a hit and run with
the Sax, WOW. Our FREE t-shirt and cassette went early in the night, the crowd grew big as the night wore on, bathroom lines were out the door (Next time we will get that right) A glance at the crowd showed the diversity than showed up to watch our Detroit bands deliver their killer sets, from the local loft dweller, ware punks and fans who came from many miles away.

Once the live music started, we were once again reminded this past Saturday why Detroit is one of America’s most pinnacle points for rock & roll for the past, present, and future. Dominating for decadesand still showing us they’ve still got what it takes to set the standard for kicking ass and showing us whose boss. November 20th marked the second installment of Metropolis’ Detroit themed events, and this hopefully won’t be their last. The fearsome foursome combo of bands that stormed into New York City that night left us all with the taste of cheap motor oil in our mouths and craving for more Motor City Mayhem! Tyvek, Terrible Twos, Timmy’s Organism, and The Mahonies blew us all away with their frantic primitive sounds and raw performances! And to add to all the fun Gardens a new Detroit combo crashed the party to give us an early morning serenade, keep your eyes and ears out for this up and coming Motor city group.

“Also, wanna say, even thought I love busting Drew’s gay little balls, he’s been doing some really great shows via the vintage shop he works at, Metropolis. And this was the best and biggest yet. Helluva deal too: for 8 bucks you get admission, a comp tape of all the bands on the bill, and a commemorative t-shirt. A bargain at twice the price. Kudos”
– Erick from Golden Error

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

“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
