Jumpin’ at Do The 45!

Mikey Post, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus and Pete Pop swing at Do The 45!

Another fabulous Do The 45 took place on March 14. For this event, host Pete Pop roped in our pal Mikey Post to be the special guest DJ. Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus was also in the house, and Go-Go dancer Bella Bombora did her thing. As usual, Miss Nancy brought some yummy vittles and the whole thing went off with a bang-o-roonie!!

Regular Boogaloo Bag readers know that Mikey Post is a key player at our favorite record company, Daptone Records. He is also a fine drummer and we dug him behind the tubs with The Jay Vons, Reigning Sound and Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens. Mr. Post has some fantastic records and he brought a bunch of them to play at Do The 45.

Pete Pop opened the night playing some tuff stuff. Then Phast played a set. Mikey was brought in to do about 45 minutes. Then Pete, Mikey and Phast traded three-song sets for the rest of the night (or something like that!). It was a total gas.

Here’s a list of records played by Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus at the Do The 45:

None of these records are for sale.

Benny Trokan Band and The Ar-Kaics Rock!

The Benny Trokan Band rocks Tubby’s!

A Shim Sham Shimmy was scheduled for Saturday December 7—the first Saturday of the month. However, host Pete Pop got the call from our pal Benny Trokan: his band was to play that night at Tubby’s in Kingston, can he and Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus be DJs for the event? What to do! Pete and Phast moved The Shim Sham Shimmy from the first Saturday to the second Saturday in November—now they need to move it in December!

So it was moved. We’ll see you at The Shim Sham Shimmy on December 14—the day after Do The 45 in Beacon, again!

The Ar-Kaics rockin’ at Tubby’s!

Anyway, not only did Benny Trokan’s great band play, but so did The Ar-Kaics, a cool band from somewhere down in Virginia. Both bands have made some excellent records for Wick Records, a subsidiary of our favorite record company, Daptone. Also, between the bands there was an appearance by the writer Lucy (nee Luc) Sante who read from her new book Six Sermons for Bob Dylan. Another added bonus to this show was that our buddy Mikey Post, a significant DJ himself, plays drums in Benny’s band.

The whole event went fantastically well. What even made it better was the presence of our friend Bruce Bennett. He was the guitarist for The A-Bones and a side-kick to The Hound when he had his radio show. We haven’t seen Bruce in a mighty long time and we were very happy to see his smiling face. He now lives somewhere up in the Hudson Valley and dropped by the joint to dig the heavy rock scene at Tubby’s.

Due to the type of music of this big rock show, DJs Pete Pop and Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus mostly played some super rockin’ stuff—spiced with a few exotic beats. The took turns playing three-song sets. All the records played by The Phast One are listed here:
