REBIRTH OF THE APK

Many of us were quite saddened by what seemed a sudden closure of the beloved establishment last fall, then we were curious and ecstatic to hear of it's subsequent reopening and collaboration with Brennan's Beer Bistro. Good news for the whole community and great news for me! Not only is the bar in which I play a significant number of my dj gigs reopening downtown, it's also less than a dozen steps from Grooves Record Store, which is both a boon to a dj to have nearby, as well as being one of my many places of employment.


The APK re-launch party will be a very exciting night featuring BA Johnston, who I remember once put on a super fun show in the ol' EVAC Garage; The Sea & City, whose handcrafted CD cases can't be beat; and Wax Mannequin, whose songwriting and stage presence have been mystifying me since near the turn of the millenium. Tough acts to follow.


Lucky for me, my job has a fairly simple goal: Share lots of fantastic music, make a bunch of you get up and dance and perhaps accomodate a request or two, if I happen to have it on wax or if there's a decent wireless connection. New bar, so I' not sure what the set-up will be like. My mixer is getting a tune-up too, so I'm looking forward to getting that back in my hands by then, fingers crossed and needle poised over the groove.
