Duffy Weekend @ Martini Red

This weekend on Staten Island the Duffy's will reign supreme! My brother and I are hosting consecutive nights at our local hot spot Martini Red. With the sudden demise of the Cargo Cafe, Martini has quickly regained it's superiority for serving the Island's artists, thinkers, and hangers-on with decent beer at solid prices with pretty good entertainment options, but by having both Duffy's this weekend it will be the place to be in all of New York for some indie debauchery!

On Friday night my brother takes his shot at creating the perfect blend between bar, rock show, and party as he hosts the night with his friend Casey. For bands the duo has picked out a group I am completely unfamiliar with called Hugo and the awesome indie-pop band known as The Heavenly Tenants! You may remember The Heavenly Tenants from my birthday bash back in November or from yesterday's posted track from them, but however you recall them you should make sure you are there to see them tomorrow. It will be a quick evening though as my brother and Casey will bail for some house party immediately following the Tenants.

Saturday night I'll be doing my thing at the same place, Martini Red well into the late night. We have drink specials, we have bands, we have me DJing, and we'll have lots of dancing and other stuff going down! The night kicks off at 10pm with a 2-for-1 PBR and well drink special, and then the Radiohead influence Staten Island band Canopy. Following Canopy we'll have a special solo performance from Beat Radio's front man, Brian Sendrowitz, and then our headliner for the evening with the awesome power pop of Bridges and Powerlines. After the bands are done our drink special will kick in again and the dance party will take over with me DJing!!! Should be a fun night and a great weekend from every angle!!!
