TARGET 1st SATURDAYS – JULY 2010

we had the pleasure of finally having time ro hit up Target 1st saturdays this month

the treat was, the venue (the Brooklyn Museum)

was showing an Exhibit of work from the legendary Andy Warhol!


so you KNOW we had to go check it out!

What’s first saturdays??

well it’s a event held at the Brooklyn Museum when admission to the museum is FREE (after 5 pm)

and there are tons things to do & see, including many exhibit specific activities for kids and adults

topped off by a HUGE dance party outside

and a massive Karaoke party inside!!

next to the Warhol exhibit the LIVE music was the draw this month,

with live performances by 2 amazing brooklyn bands

Analogue Transit is a genre blending electronic/analog duo from Brooklyn,

Kwaku Aning on Vocals and Guitar & Jeff Shreiner on the production

these guys were amazing, we already have their green EP (available on itunes)

their tune Great Jones is an INCREDIBLE song

It was an amazing set with GREAT songs and it set good vibes for the crowd!!

then Dynasty Electric hit the stage.. electric was definitely right word to describe this performance, high energy would be another 2 words..

Dynasty Electric is an electronic rock band also from Brooklyn,

featuring lead singer and theremin player Jenny Electrik

and guitarist/saxophonist/producer Seth Misterka.

the crowd was energized and engaged!!

Jenny playing the theremin!!! Loved that!!

The Warhol exhibit was fantastic. showing work from warhols late period late 70′s early 80′s

including some of my favorite pieces from him

Warhol’s Eggs

Warhol’s Yarn

once we made it to the museum, we jumped on line to pick up free tickets to see a screening of

the film “I shot Andy Warhol” that was showing upstairs

as usual we had a GREAT time, saw a lot of good friends and made some new ones.

NAUGHTY BY NATURE -I GOTTA LOTTA (VIDEO)

One of the things we pride ourselves on being able to do
is switch from Genre to genre musically at a moments notice
As you can see in the previous post we did another great pop song
with The Clutch for the amazingly talented Chris Lawrence.
But we can easily switch gears and provide
Naughty By Nature with a gritty NY hip-hop gem.
as we did with “I GOTTA LOTTA” from their forthcoming album
ANTHEM INC

one of the many songs we have with one of the acts that we
are proud to call our family
check out the video

Musicians of all ages, creeds, and musical persuasions perform for new audiences, who come out from under their headphones to hear unfamiliar groups risk-free on the first day of summer.
Dont miss it!!!
Here in Brooklyn We ran across our first of many of these performances
that we will be enjoying today

it was the father Daughter duo of Carolyn & Jay Leonhart at
“Green in Brooklyn” on Myrtle ave in Ft Green Brooklyn


the set was WONDERFUL, as the sound of Jay’s combination upright bass & scat playing style peeked from under the warm blanket of sound his daughter Carolyn’s incredibly mesmerizing and soulful voice covers you in.


they walked through a few covers and originals including a great version of Charles Mingus’ late 40′s standard “Take a Chance With Me”

And from Carolyn’s own 2005 release “New 8th day” here is her rendition of
her fathers’ “Sometimes I think”
from his 1991 outing “Salamander Pie”
it’s a thoroughly enjoyable romp through the soul tinged Jazz vocal style
that her predecessors like Ella Fitgerald made popular.


Jay even stepped out front on another original called “Me & Lenny” a song about a chance meeting with the legendary composer Leonard Bernstein,
from Leonharts 2003 musical comedy “The Bass Lesson”
