Review of Clubhouse



So as you know I went dancing at the Bearsville Theater on Friday. Things started out slow, even though the music was amazing. But once the promoters finally turned down the lights — what took you so long? — the crowd relaxed and got its groove on.

As Patricia commented in my previous post: "Music was pretty darn good. It's hard to find a place to dance around here and the crowd really got going after a while. Also a real mix of people."

A mix of people is right. There were aging rockers, young club kids, hipsters, a young woman who was dressed like Madonna during her "True Blue" days and some guy who looked like he just stepped out of an episode of "Starsky and Hutch."

Drag queen Isis Vermouth, surrounded by an entourage of adoring friends, passed out glostix to everyone on the dance floor.

And the music. I can't gush enough. The resident turntablists Lemar Soulflower and Anthony Molina really knew how to excite the crowd.

All around a great night. Can't wait for the next one.

So how would you describe the music? Techno, trance, hip-hop, rock, mix... ? I NEED to find a place to dance once in a blue moon!!!

Hey Sarah,

I would say Saturday's Clubhouse was a mix of hip hop, funk, soul and house. Very groovy. Clubhouse returns to the Bearsville on May 25.

The same promoters are hosting Acidhouse, described as an electro, techno and acid party, on May 4 at Backstage Studio Productions in Kingston.
