On Saturday, March 1, DJs Pete Pop and Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus returned to the Untouchable Lounge in Newburgh for an evening of rhythm-oriented records spinning. That is: soul, funk, mambo, Latin, cumbia, reggae and sounds that go 5/4 in the night!

The original concept for the night at Untouchable was for it to take place on the fourth Friday of the month—and Mr. Pop dubbed it Shootin’ the Grease. However, the February Shootin’ the Grease was pushed back a day, due to the venue booking a separate event on the fourth Friday. It now looks as if Shootin’ the Grease will be some sort of floating night at Untouchable, as the people in charge are still trying to sort things out for this brand new nightclub. (Indeed, the official March Shootin’ the Grease took place on the 21st, though without The Boog, as he took the night off to see The Feelies at the Bearsville Theater.)

Anyway, on March 1, Pete and Phast set up in the front room and pounded out boss jams all night. Miss Nancy baked chocolate chip cookies and the ever-popular chex mix and said vittles were devoured accordingly. Folks bopped around until about one in the morning.
