5 Reasons To Go To The NEW Magic Monday

If you read our site often, you are already thoroughly annoyed by my love for a little party called Magic Monday. I believe I’ve covered it three times before, while it was running at my favorite Lower East Side bar,  St Jerome’s, so you might know a bit about it already. What you might not know, though, is that Magic Monday has been reincarnated. New York City club owner, writer, and overall leather-jacket-wearing-beer-drinking-LES-roaming-guy Luc Carl, has helped rebirth this party at his new decadent club, The Casino. For those of you that are nervous to make the switch from the St. Jerome’s Magic Monday to the new space, let me give you a little push. Dip your toes, my friends, the water feels real nice (No, really, there’s an indoor fountain/waterfall in the new club…). Continue reading

7 Reasons To Go To Magic Monday

Back in October, we published an article about a then young Lower East Side weekday phenomenon known as Magic Monday. The Monday night festivities, held at St Jerome’s on Rivington, and brought to life by an exciting group of people, from bar regulars to DJs to singers and dancers, have grown from intimate to out of control in a very short amount of time. After spending about nine more months frequenting Magic Mondays, I’ve realized that there’s much, much more to talk about. So here it is, 7 Reasons To Go To Magic Monday, an article where I will name-drop my best friends and brag about my favorite local dive bar.

Review: Breedlove

Mondays @ Midnight
St. Jerome’s, Lower East Side

On the Lower East Side, you can be anything that you want and still be fabulous, and St. Jerome’s Bar between Clinton and Suffolk is a whole mess of beautiful, “mess” being the key word. Going there on any given night, there’s cheap beer, pretty girls, and a DJ spinning rock n’ roll roll, but Mondays at midnight is when the “filthy glamour” takes over, with weekly sets by New York singer/performance artist Breedlove.

Review: Semi Precious Weapons

Semi Precious Weapons w/ Breedlove, The Dirty Pearls, Lady Starlight
October 8th, 2010
Irving Plaza, Union Square

Last night, Manhattan’s Irving Plaza was a battleground. The war waged was one in honor of bringing rock n’ roll back to New York City and mainstream music, a cause that has been ignored for far too long.

Right now. So fuck the T.V., fuck the radio, I just want to fuck you”, was Tranter’s speech to a crowd of screaming and nearly naked fans, a moment that made at least one thing clear: victory had been claimed, and winning the war is only a shot away.
