JONATHAN TOUBIN IS BACK WITH A HOMECOMING FIT FOR A KING
The first official New York Night Train joint since Jonathan Toubin’s December accident in Portland went down Sunday at Williamsburg’s Brooklyn Bowl! 600 NYNT partiers weren’t only treated to wild sets by advertised live acts Kid Congo Powers, the K-Holes, Daddy Long Legs, Andy Animal Unleashed, Expensive Sh!t, Hula Hoop Harlot Melissa Anne, and Anna Copa Cabana, plus supremo DJ’s Mr. Fine Wine and Josh Styles, and crazy visuals by Spencer Bewley and B.A. Miale, but they were also surprised by musical cameos from April March, Mick Collins of Gories/Dirtbombs/Blacktop, etc, and James Chance of Contortions/James White and the Blacks/etc. And… also did we mention that Jonathan Toubin himself hit the decks for over an hour?
Check out the scene in Rolling Stone, Village Voice, and Vice. And get an eyeful of Jackie Roman’s party pics here. And hear Mr. JT talk about it on National Public Radio – WNYC “Sound Check” (where he and Rufus Wainwright were the guests on Tuesday) here.
