All kinds of folks swing at OUT OF SIGHT!

Out Of Sight, the groovy new soul music dance night created by our pal DJ Xerox and held every Thursday at the Beauty Bar in Manhattan, has quietly become a top attraction in the New York City soul music scene. On April 16, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus was paired with Matt Fiveash, which resulted in Out Of Sight having one of its biggest nights yet!

Mr. Fiveash, as all astute students of reet music know, has a music program that airs over the WFMU Give the Drummer Some audio stream. It can be monitored live, as it happens, every Thursday starting at 2pm, Jersey City Standard Time. On his show, he features the sort of music that readers of the Boogaloo Bag will certainly enjoy and it is highly recommended. If you are a first time listener, the Boogaloo Bag suggests that you go to the archives and check out his legendary Thanksgiving broadcast featuring all food records. Dig it here!

These days, a soul music enthusiast in New York City can dig boss sounds three nights in a row of every week—Wednesdays at Botanica with Mr. Fine Wine, Thursdays at the Beauty Bar with Out Of Sight, and Fridays at Home Sweet Home with Jonathan Toubin. One could almost come to the conclusion that Manhattan may soon overtake Brooklyn as the most happening borough in the city—especially if you take into consideration the fact that Subway Soul Club will return to Manhattan on May 9^th when it takes place at B.B. King’s Lucille’s night club on 42^nd Street!
