If you’ve been a regular reader of this here Boogaloo Bag blog, then you surely must be aware of the great Do The 45 rock and soul dance party that is hosted by DJ Pete Pop on the second Friday of the month at Quinn’s in Beacon, NY. The event has become the boss place to be, as it has recently attracted several local celebrities. On September 12, Quinn’s was graced with the presence of two radio personalities and an international pop star.

One of the radio personalities was Vinnie Vincent. Although he is no longer on the radio, his show on WVKR is legendary. From time to time he will come to Quinn’s and present a set or two of dynamite records. Also, as leader of the rockin’ Greyhounds, he was a singer on a mission: bring back Rock’n’Roll the way the great Goddess intended it to be!!

The other radio personality was Amanda Lay. She and her partner Paula Grace present a fabulous show every other Friday on WVKR. The Paula and Amanda Show is mandatory listening on the way to Beacon on Do The 45 nights.

Vibeke Saugestad was our international pop star. She’s from Norway, where she played in several cool bands, including The Twisteroos and The Yum-Yums. She now lives in Beacon where she has her own band—the appropriately named Vibeke Saugestad Band. The group recently played at a local venue and we can attest to its fabulousness. Also, the group has a new EP (The Sun Sessions) that has just been released and we can also attest to its fabulousness—its brand of power pop is irresistible. The Boogaloo Bag writers urge each and every Boogaloo Bag reader to order one as soon as possible.

Also on hand for the evening was Go-Go dancer Bella Bombora, who was often joined on the dance floor by Miss Saugestad and/or Mister Vincent. DJ Pete Pop played his usual fantastic records—records that often stopped us and made us go, “WHAT IS THAT!!” Further, we celebrated Pete Pop’s recent birthday with some of Miss Nancy’s yummy cupcakes!
