To bad the MCB is in New York because this sounds like a great way to kick off a new month.

Maybe we will see a MCB2 here in Detroit / LA someday....

Wows!ville Records may be gone, but the party is still swingin'! Once a month Le Disquaire Bazooka Joe spins the most savage and greasy mid 50's- late 60's dancefloor records ever made! Expect a sloppy mess of soul stomp monsters, garage pounders, greazy r'n'b, honkin' instros, crazy calypsos, kookie limbos, manic mambos, fucked up freakbeat, wild watusis, dink music, fink music, soaking wet reverb, screaming organs, stupid drums, wailing saxes, blaring horns, shakin' maracas, and anything Diddley-fied! Wows!ville A Go Go takes place every last Friday at the Motor City Bar (Ludlow between Rivington and Delancey)! NO COVER and plenty of room to wiggle... table tops count!!!
