Do The 45 Rolls on!!

Do The 45Pete Pop’s fantastic Rock & Soul DJ night held on the second Friday of the month at Quinn’s in Beacon—keeps attracting celebrities. On August 8 the event was honored with the presence of Suzy Hotrod. Mostly we know her as one of the fabulous DJs with a rockin’ show on WFMU. However, she is also a musician, professional photographer and a world-class roller derby athelete. She and her friend happened to be walking around Beacon on the right night and saw Pete Pop’s sandwich sign advertising reet music on the street. She and her date rushed in and were immediately gassed by the sounds that Mr. Pop and his side-kick Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus were spinnin’.

Also that night, Go-Go dancer Bella Bombora was joined on the raised dance floor by several folks who came to jump with the jivers. Pete Pop played his usual fantastic records and The Phast Man tried to keep up with a couple of boss jams.
