Sinister: DJ Johnny Royale spins Brit power-pop - Saturday, March 5, 11:55pm
DJ Johnny Royale spins Brit Pop at the Lucky Cat. Saturday, March 5, 11:55pm. Im going to try to do a power pop show. Mighty Lemon Drops, old Soup Dragons, Woodentops, The Smiths � London, Belle and Sebastian � Legal Man, etc. The Lucky Cat � 245 Grand Street � Williamsburg � Brooklyn http://www.theluckycat.com/ You might say I'm limiting myself. How can anyone come up with enough power pop with enough variation to make a mixed tape, let alone keep a crowd interested for a few hours? Admittedly, it wont be easy. Its these limits that spur creativity. With poetry, rhyme and meter are constraints that help focus thinking, and bring the mind to places which, without these self imposed limitations, would not normally be reached. You will never find the word orange at the end of a line in a sonnet, sadly. Tonight's limits are sound, genre, and the owner, as I probably wont get to play at the lucky cat again if I play reggae. And I'm going to play the Fall, cause they are really good.
