END OF SUMMER JAM


Posted by DANTE ROSS on October 01, 2007 4:53 AM | Email


Aron Bondaroff and MDP/Sensi productions  put together a pretty fresh end of summer  jam this Sunday. He's probably the only guy I know who could have put this together. It was nice to see every body in the daytime for once and downtowns favorites The Virgins rocked like we have all come to expect!  Our scene tends to only get together at night time for parties and the few times we have been togther in the day time are unfourtently usually when we lose a person we all cared for. This was nice goofy fun,saw alot of friends took some pics and enjoyed the Sunday. Oh yeah the Mets choked and that seemed to dominate alot of the convo....I'm a Yankee fan haha!

Beans got busy for the people...Beans is dope he was in the Anti-Pop Consortium and he's a really nice person. Beans and me have some great exchanges he's one of the reasons I still pop in Max Fish....That and the beers are always flowing! Beans is a thinker we need more of those! His show was one of the highlights of the day

    

Aron and Juaretsi shooting the breeze....... 2 fresh people being fresh!

             

Punk Rock Jake had the dope jacket on........Hesh on holmes!

      

A.R.E. Weapons played they always entertain.....Thanks for the Joey Semz song that was really cool we all miss Joey! Check out the back of Clayton Pattersons hat it's dope!

    

Man should not wear these pants...Leah MOB might be right cause these dudes and his crew are definitely the new bitches! I mean his boys wearing tights how fucked up is that? This cat and his crew had the dumbest style ever...Almost New Romantic.....That shit was lame the first time Adam and the Ants did it......heres the memo......It's still lame bros!

   

Donald Cummings from the Virgins and his lady Sara..... There a really cute couple......Donalds a total star! Note the Hesh brothers Free Simon and Jake in the backround

   

Punk Rock Jake and Free Simon the Hesh Brothers... I love talking metal with these cats!

   

David Herskovitz O.G. paper magazine publisher and a real neighberhood dude known him for years and years! Digging the OG Haze jacket!

     

And of course the Virgins did there thing.....There dope always just a ton of fun everybody downtown digs em seems like we all know all the lyrics to the songs! Good kids from the village and they all went to the local youth center my boys all worked at.....The next Ramones?

   

Theres a lot of hype on the kids, the pressures on but we all know there gonna kill and we all support them....Fuck it I'm a fan! Donald in Action he's like a modern Ray Davies with a real New York twist.... Ray Davies was the singer in the Kinks if you didn't know. Donald had the illest ODB shirt on I want that shit!

    

Check who rolled thru after the Mets game......Mike Rap aka Micheal Rappaport he was bummed the f out........Mike's a true New Yorker even though he lives in LA....Good guy,big talent and super down to earth......I think it's obvious how he feels about the Mets loss today!

    

Once again Aron and his crew did a cool thing for the community......It's dope to hear bands we all know and dig rock in the park on a Sunday in our hood! Thanks to him for putting it together and to all the bands that came and played for us Aron should do this every year!

Heres's  a Video of the Virgins rocking out.....Rich Girls this song is my favorite!
