Warm up your 6 degree (after windchill) frozen fingers and buns with a round of awesome dance parties. I went to see my girl DJ Lani Love‘s set for the DJ Morsy Gettin Jacked Fundraiser – who got his equipment stolen.

My new music discovery of the night were amazing live performers The Beatards!! They are so good!

Nothing beats energetic live music, but here’s their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/thebeatards Dang Diggy Dang!

“A trio of orphans, whose sound originated in the bayous of Louisiana, The Beatards have made their home in New York City. The three eclectic innovators: DJO, Chuck Wild, and UTK the INC, started the innovative MIXTAPE RIOT! parties. The Beatards blend a popular variety of hip-hop, electronic and international sounds that reflect upon the band’s diverse individual backgrounds and collective global experience. The Beatards make music for the NEW generation. Don’t be afraid of these big bad beats. After all, some things are better outside of the box.”

On my way out after a long night of dancing, I was sidetracked by the front room – 60′s 70′s shag dance funk rock. yum! DJed by http://ohioparty.com/

It should happen more often.
