As noted here in a previous post, our friends Peter Aaron and Sean McDJ have a swingin’ night at the Salt Box where they play all sorts of rockin’ stuff; though it leans toward punk and new wave records. The event is called Smash! Crash! Bash! and it takes place on the last Friday of the month. Once in a while one of them can’t make the scene, so they call on either Pete Pop or Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus to come and guest DJ. This was the case on May 29 when Mr. Sean was away on family matters and the Phast Man was tapped to play a few of his platters.

This is always a gas, as Phast Phreddie still has some of his records from back in the olden days and he enjoys playing them at Smash! Crash! Bash!—especially those by his friends.

Peter Aaron is an enthusiastic collector of seventies/early eighties punk and new wave records and he has a ton of them. Every gig he brings several boxes of hot punk records and always delights with jams we’ve never heard—but should have!
