Our friends Peter Aaron and Sean McDJ have a swingin’ DJ night they call Smash! Crash! Bash! that takes place on the last Friday of the month at the all mighty Salt Box in Kingston, NY. On these nights they tend to play a lot of punk, glam and new wave records, as well as old garage, soul, latin, funk—whatever they feel like playing. Both DJs are very eclectic, however, most of the night one will hear a lot of records from the seventies and early eighties. Miss Nancy likes to attend these affairs because they will play Devo, Bowie and T-Rex records, which she likes to dance to. The Boogaloo Bag writers like to attend these affairs because the DJs always play cool stuff they’ve never heard before—and that makes it interesting.

Peter Aaron is a musician (most famously a member of The Chrome Cranks), a radio personality (Go-Go Kitty on Radio Kingston), and an arts editor for the Hudson Valley culture magazine (Chronogram), and the author of books (most recently a biography of Ric Ocasek). He’s a busy guy who still finds time to collect groovy records and spin them at the Salt Box.

Sean McDJ is equally busy as a photographer, a computer specialist, a professional DJ (weddings, parties, anything) and, we think, several other employments that he doesn’t talk about. He’s also a neat guy who is happy to talk about any record you can think of.

This particular Smash! Crash! Bash! was held on July 25. Originally, Sean McDJ was planning on being absent due to other arrangements. Because of this, Peter Aaron asked Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus to step into his shoes for the night. However, as it turned out, Mr. Sean was able to make the scene after all. Instead of kicking the Phast One off the bill, they decided to add him into the mix. Usually Peter and Sean take turns playing one record at a time. This time, the three of them traded three-song sets. Our pal Pete Pop showed up to dig the scene.

This was a gas for Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus, who had a chance to break out many songs he hadn’t played in a long time, including some new-ish ones and several by his friends from the olden days. He’ll be back on Halloween, as Sean has another gig that night!
