“PROPS, Wednesday nights at LPR’s Gallery Bar is the continuation of Rich Medina’s infamous Li’l Ricky’s Rib Shack parties on Wednesdays at the now defunct APT (RIP). Back at APT, Akalepse would rock the upstairs space, while Rich rocked the basement. For 8+ years NYC couldn’t front…the combo was unbeatable. When it was time to move on, they chose to do it together.

New venue, new name for the party, new dynamic, same vinyl junkie DJs. Rich Medina and Akalepse continue to bring you that raw, outside the Top 40, heavy, fun, sexy, soulful and honest music they are both known and respected for. The music selection weekly runs the full spectrum of soul music, minus the conventional program director bottle poppers fare. Both Rich & Lepse are avid record collectors, each with a heavyweight collection of over 20,000+ records a piece, so of course you’re going to hear things you don’t know… that is the point. But not the whole point, they play classic tunes right next to obscurities, always pushing the listening audience a little, in a sincere effort to break new records and reintroduce slept on heaters simultaneously.

PROPS is not an event sold through flashy ads, industry relations and posturing….You can keep that… Props is a music lover’s paradise, designed for those who like to groove… Everyone is welcome, but everyone should also know that we are all about pushing music forward and promoting culture. We play for the open minded and the dancers first and foremost. Expect to be surprised, sweaty, and telling your friends how badly they need to join you the following week. PROPS is where you go to hear veteran DJs smash up a party with incredible records and that’s the facts jack…hope to see you there!”

“best indie dance party” – Timeout New York
“the reigning king of Tuesday night” – Paper Magazine

Hello New York City,
Is Winter ever coming? It’s almost the beginning of Spring which means our busy season is right around the corner and boy do we have some special stuff in store for you that we have been working on all “Winter”. Please look above and SAVE THE DATE!!! Thursday March 29th, SHAW Promotion and Harley Davidson of NYC invite you to a very special party for the unveiling of the new Harley Davidson of NYC custom motorcycles. Andrew W. K. will be hosting as your master of ceremony along with our friend DJ Josh Madden behind the decks plus much much more! A full lineup announcement is coming soon so please save the date. We want to see EVERYONE there!!!

Secondly on our list today I would like to thank all our sponsors and everyone who came out to last week’s charity event “A Second Chance at Love” created and hosted by Pinups for Pitbulls, The Park, and SHAW Promotion. The party was a blast, the bands were awesome, our amazing sponsors 44 North Vodka and Mercy got us drunk (and happily sober again!), and the crowd was stunning. Motorcycles and pups are my two loves, so we couldn’t be more excited to have such great events to be working with. Check out the photos and recap HERE if you weren’t able to make it out!

Now on to this week; it’s a big one! I’m going to start with our headliner and one of SHAW’s oldest clients, Lit’s 10 year anniversary!! Not only are they one of my favorite bars in Manhattan, and not only are they celebrating a milestone in NYC nightlife culture, but they are bringing some of the coolest names to the event this Wednesday including Nick Zinner (of The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s), Prince Terrence and Justine D behind the decks and showcasing the night playing live is none other than Super Touch! We can’t wait to see this performance and hope to see you there.

Also this week we have another installment of DropOut Tuesdays tonight with live performances from Sage and Peter Hadar. For the record, this party is RSVP only because it is so huge, but fear not, we have your exclusive comp guest list which will close at 6:30PM tonight so hit us up! Tonight we also have a new party, House of Commons, a British dance party with DJ Ceremony at The Delancey. On Friday is Girls & Boys presents Dub Police with Caspa, Trolly Snatcha, Subscape & D1 at upstairs at Webster Hall and downstairs at The Studio is the infamous Trash! party with guest DJ Andie Cassette and hosted by Markko Donto (of Wolf Party). We have your guest list right here for both events! The list is extremely limited, so RSVP ASAP!

On a sad note, White Noise is closing its doors, but that of course requires a celebration and our friends,  The Wild Ones, are executing this final goodbye this Friday with DJ Samuel Valentine. I’ve been to the The Wild Ones party a few times including hosting Michael T’s birthday party and it is truly a great rock and roll party at one of the last rock n roll bars. We are sad to see another great venue closing in NYC but I’m sure Mr. Samuel Valentine has some more tricks up his sleeves,  DJing at our March 29th Harley Davidson of NYC party.  Did we mention to save the date??!

Rounding out the weekend is Fuse Gallery presents Joe Heaps Nelson – “This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” gallery opening, our good friends .357 Lover are hosting another one of their awesome Spectacular Showtime Show at Big Sky Works in Williamsburg (if you have never seen this band, this is the place to see it!) and check out the new monthly Monday party, Funeral Drive,  brought to you by The Skinny Bar & Lounge with DJ Bride of Wire and Mick Royale, bringing you the best goth, deathrock, darkwave, post-punk, and more the last Monday of every month!

Lastly on our list, this Sunday is the Oscars and we are excited to team up with Kostume Kult once again.  They are having their 7th Annual Oscar gala “Occupy Red Carpet” party at Tamanny Hall! I really love the Kostume Kult wacky events and this will be the best Oscar party in town. Get your $15 presale tickets now!  If you are planning on staying in Brooklyn on Oscar Sunday, JaiDee will be bartending an Oscar party over at Crown Victoria in Williamsburg where they are showing it on a jumbo screen with no cover.

Wow, that is a lot to take in, so see below for more details on the individual events or you can see them listed on our Calendar page.  As always, thanks for reading and we hope you will have a great week thanks to all of the fun things we have in store for you!

Signing out,
Andy and the SHAW Promotion team

Last Saturday SHAW Promotion had the opportunity to co produce “A Second Chance at Love”, a charity event created by  Pinups for Pitbulls, hosted at The Park in Chelsea.  We were so excited to be able to work with such a fun organization and all the people that were involved and donated their time to raise awareness about the mistreatment and misunderstanding of Pitbulls.  I would like to thank everyone including (but not limited to!) Sandra Dee and Little Darling, David Augenti and Bonnie Goodrich at The Park, our fabulous sponsors 44 North Vodka and Mercy (thanks for coming!), the DJ Dutchman and his beautiful wife Joanne, the vendors Dollsville and Enz’s, and last but not least the bands Bikini Carwash and Screamin’ Rebel Angels who really were the icing on the cake.  Thanks again for a wonderful evening, can’t wait to do it again!
