The second Friday of the month is when Do The 45 pops into Quinn’s in Beacon. In June, it landed on the 12th. That night, DJs Pete Pop and Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus brought their bossest (mostly) sixties seven-inch records to play for the club’s faithful. It was a great night, with all sorts of folks joining renown Go-Go dancer Bella Bombora on the raised dance floor.

Pete Pop played records from his incredible collection of garage rock 45s. Man, it’s worth the trip to Beacon just hear that stuff! The Phast Man did all he could to keep up. Apparently, Mr. Pop thought that this was such a special night that he actually made two different posters for the occasion (see below).

Also on hand was Go-Go dancer Sheba Shake who made an appearance and she really shook!! She was once a regular dancer for the 45 but we’ve hardly seen her since she moved to Middletown. Great to have her back for a night of watusi.
