On July 29 DJ Pete Pop’s smashing shindig Do The 45 returned to Quinn’s in Beacon, NY. Over the years, Pete Pop has accumulated some fantastic 45s and he knows how to play them. At his Do The 45 Rock and Soul dance parties he brings a bunch of them, selects some great ones and lets them spin: garage rock, soul, R&B, rockabilly, boogaloo—you name it, if it’s reet, you can count on Pete to have it and play it! Plus, he sets up his hustle at Quinn’s with a screen showing some cool videos of folks dancing, psychedelic lights are in effect and Pete’s posters are hung with care. He’s got a whole scene and, man, it is clean!

Meanwhile, folks are coming into Quinn’s to eat (its ramen noodles are celebrated up and down Main Street) and to cop a brew. Many who were in attendance were not expecting to hear the boss sounds that DJ Pete puts down but they dig it anyhow. It’s a sight to see: a bunch of folks boppin’ their heads to the beat as they slurp down their noodles.

On this Friday night, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus was once again called upon to be DJ Pete Pop’s guest DJ. He brought a box of cool rekkids and some of Miss Nancy’s vegan brownies and her new item, mint swirl chocolate cookies. Miss Nancy couldn’t be there in person but her baked goods made sure that her presence was felt. It was great to see so many friends—old and new—at the club, chowing, chatting, swigging and wigging out on the dance floor!
