Party with Pogo!!

On November 8, Do The 45 rolled into Quinn’s—that fabulous rock ’n’ ramen joint in Beacon, NY. Host Pete Pop gathered some DJs together and, along with regular guest DJ Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus, produced a dynamite presentation for all who attended—which was many! Also on the bill were Go-Go dancers Bella Bombora and Sheba Shake. Ms Shake had a health situation and couldn’t make the scene, but Ms. Bombora danced the night away, often accompanied by several of her friends on the raised dance floor.

The guest DJs who appeared were Peter Aaron, Marty Shane and James Pogo. Mister Aaron we’ve seen before. He’s a rocker, a radio personality and a writer—and he’s got great records which he proceeded to play. He had the joint jumpin’ with a bunch of New Wave hits, much like the records he plays at his Smash Crash Bash at the Salt Box on the last Friday of the month.

Marty Shane is another cat we are familiar with. He runs the Mod Tiki Market at the Bennington Antique Center in Montgomery, NY. He played some cool records and made the place swing.

James Pogo is someone we just met. We don’t know a lot about him, except that he’s an artist and he plays in an art-punk band called The Armedalite Rifles based in Pine Bush, NY (home of the Pine Bush UFO Fair). On this night he played some fantastic records and we hope Pete Pop asks him back soon!

Miss Nancy made some yummy vittles: pumpkin bread and a chex mix she calls Spap Oop! All of it was gone by the end of the night.

If that wasn’t enough, we celebrated the birthday of Miss Deneane, a fine artist and a good friend.

It was an evening of fabulous music and jumping around and we thought it would never end. But somehow, it did.

Here is a list of all the records played by Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus at this particular Do The 45:
