Booking #90: Direct Drive @ Tonic, NYC







This gig was bittersweet. It is always fun to tag with Strife. She is one of the only DJ's in the area that i feel comfortable enough to tag with, and whose records work well with my records. Our live sets together are always so much fun, and unexpected, due to the improvisational aspect of tagging with someone, mainly working off each others last record. The night was a fun locals night, real good sets by Dj Stress and one of NYC's best Eshin.

But the bad part was knowing that Tonic would soon be closing. Another great venue for live music in NYC, particularly the lower east side is gone. Tonic was landmark for experimental music and jazz, it will be missed.
