Here's why I like Season of the Witch at Moe Bar: it's not really a dance party. And don't get me wrong, I love dance parties. And for the record, people have been known to dance, sometimes, in the modicum of space between the front door and the bar. And I like that too.
But occasionally you want to go out in a low maintenance kind of way, am I right? You want to go somewhere with no cover and sit in a booth with your friends and relax with some crazy-ass drink? (Skittles-infused vodka and a Hot Cocoa Peppermint Pattie blasted with whipped cream are on the menu at Moe, along with many others.)
Also, while relaxing in said booth with said interesting drink, you probably want good people to read your mind and deliver the obscure and/or outdated jams that you've been craving. You want to hear these jams on vinyl— not on an iPod— and not beat-matched or otherwise tweaked. Maybe you want jams by the Vivian Girls, Rubber Soul-era Beatles; maybe it's the Donovan eponym you're after?
Season of the Witch is the last Wednesday of every month at Moe Bar. Delivering on the DJ front tonight are Bree Tacocat, Megan from Don't Stop Believin' Records and Jessica Luna.
I asked Megan to name three records she'd be playing and she texted me back the following: "Shocking Blue, NoBunny, Soft Boys, 1910 Fruitgum Company, The Replacements. That's five because I couldn't narrow it down."
Fair enough.
