The Cat's Pajamas is a monthly cabaret featuring spoken word, music, dance, and performance art acts that are an ode to the cultural aesthetics of the past. This month join us for Discowarriors where we will be celebrating the explosive revelation of 1970's New York. Afros, Punk, Street parties, Car chases, Grafitti, Disco and those wild, wild night sin the subway. The 70's have been a much maligned decade, often dismissed as trite and tacky. In fact the 70's saw the real investment in social justice. The Vietnam war ended, school were actually integrated, abortion was legalized, civil liberties were implemented, Sesame Street was created and grit became an appropriate form of protest. David Petrelli will be Djing all night long bringing in the sounds of Oakland's underground musical revolution, and the the kick ass beats of past Hip Hop Kings. After he will be spinning it so you can dance your ass off.
In between the Warriors of the performance world will locking it and loading it down. Momo, Charlie Getter, Andy Warthol, Shovelman, Amy Cruz, Wiggy & Scot Velardo, The Double Dutch Devils and more.......

Michael Musika's next Seance in the Series... w/ Loyd Family Players + Quinn DeVeaux & the Blue Beat Review, at the Rickshaw Stop. http://myspace.com/michaelmusika tix: http://rickshawstop.com see/hear Quinn DeVeaux & Michael Musika on Chasing the Moon:http://chasingthemoon.pdcst.com
MICHAEL MUSIKA
"Michael’s sound is rustic, almost gypsy-like, but it maintains a sense of innocence that is unlike most everything you’ve heard before. His fellow bandmates, mostly friends who play in other projects as well (Matt Adams of Blank Tapes, Eric Kuhn of Silian Rail and Brian Gorman of Tartufi to name a few), helped shape the sound of the album. One senses from their involvement that Musika’s really trying to promote that music, both performing and consuming, is meant to be fun and communal, something to bring us together as performers and spectators. While writing the music for his new album, Musika handed each performer a script with an assigned character, from which each was to figure out the particular sound for their part." -- Bay Bridged

LOYD FAMILY PLAYERS
With influences ranging from Carlinhos Brown to Rage Against the Machine, the Loyds mix together a bevy of breaks and textures with great precision for a hot and furious dance party. Utilizing everything from sultry R&B covers to tongue-in-cheek punk rock singalongs, the Loyds will whip the dance floor into a frenzy and turn you into a dashboard drummer for days on end."Combining elements of samba, hip-hop, funk, heavy metal, dancehall & reggae, this 8 to 14 piece non-traditional bateria has quickly earned a reputation as one of Oakland California's most raucous and jubilant party bands." --SF Bay Guardian.

QUINN DEVEAUX & THE BLUE BEAT REVIEW
Quinn DeVeaux and The Blue Beat Review is the dance floor between the sweet old times and new hard times. It's New Orleans soul and early blues with the depth of cracked hands combined with the contagious dance rhythm you've been looking for all night.

INDIANNA HALE
"Sad true stories sung sweet and straight forward...a prodigious musical vocabulary veiled ever so slightly by a reverent fascination for ancient astrological superstitions rendered delicately surreal through the spooky lens of modern times."
