As promised, 2 Live Crew helped close out CMJ with a show at Santos Party House on Saturday night (Oct 25, 2008). I would have loved to have been there, but was too wiped out from my own ten hour party at Knitting Factory that day. Someone told me they heard the old stuff was great to hear, but that they also played some new stuff. Tim, who was already at Santos for the Narnack showcase that night, also stuck around for the 2am show. This is what he saw….

2 Live Crew are playing an official CMJ show at Santos Party House on Saturday night. Doors are at 2AM - after the Narnack showcase that Lee Scratch Perry is not playing.
2LC also played a show at SXSW in March. Since then I learned that Luther “Luke Skywalker” Campbell is doing a reality show.

Lykke Li @ (le) poisson rouge (more by Ryan Muir)

Not long after I posted the latest set of Lykke Li tour dates that include two sold out (well, one is CMJ) shows @ Bowery & MHOW, I got this…
“BOOTLEG” KICKS OPEN@ SANTOS PARTY HOUSE
Armani Exchange Presents Special Guest Performance by
International Pop Star LYKKE LI
There’s a new dance party in town. Josh Wood Productions has teamed up with New York’s most influential new nightclub, Santos Party House, to launch “BOOTLEG”, a new monthly dance bash that is sure to blow the rafters off NYC’s nightlife.
Presenting Sponsor Armani Exchange is turning up the style for this inaugural event with special guest Swedish Pop Queen Lykke Li. The 22 year-old Euro Pop Phenom will perform a special acoustic set on Santos Party House’s mammoth stage.
Known for her Bjork meets Kylie Minogue sound, Lykke is already ruling American dance floors and iPods with her hits “I’m good, I’m gone”, “Dance. Dance. Dance.” and “Little Bit”.
On the main floor, DJ/Producer Hector Fonseca will ignite Santos’ killer sound system with his signature tribal, high energy sound.
Downstairs, John Lovett and Alessandro Codagoneof “Cruising” will launch photographer Joe Oppedisano’s new book, Uncensored. DJ Mike G spins rock and disco.

For a 72-year-old man, he sure gets around. Lee “Scratch” Perry is playing that Oct 25th CMJ show at Santos Party House with Restavrant, Iran, Vaz, The Muslims, and The Sundelles as part of a Narnack Records CMJ showcase.
AND the (mad) man has lined up a second date the night before (Oct 24th) at Gramercy Theater. Tickets are on sale. Just to be clear, that’s two NYC shows in two CMJ days for Lee “Scratch” Perry.
Perry recently released his latest album, Repentance, on Narnack in August with a lead single (download it above) and video entitled… ahem… “Pum Pum”. The album is produced by Andrew WK (part owner of Santos Party House where the CMJ party is) and features Moby, Don Fleming, Brian Chippendale (Lightning Bolt) and…. Sasha Grey? Is that where the “Pum Pum” comes from?
More tour dates TBA soon. Videos below…

Fucked Up (the band) (I know you realize that is a band name by now, but just in case there’s someone reading this who doesn’t) asked if I would mention that they got a ton of emails requesting guestlist for the Saturday show at Santos Party House - too many to answer, SO they are putting EVERYONE that emailed on list, BUT they want people to realize they “have no control over who gets in or what the cap at the venue is tonight”, aka go at your own risk and get there early.
