The Parkdale Funk Show

Shindig! is about the music. That sweet sweet 50’s and 60s R&B music that just makes you throw your hands up and dance! Which is why we choose to play it all from original 7″ 45 rpm records and why we are holding this party the DAY BEFORE NEW YEARS EVE! It’s also why everyone loves this party so much! Especially the Ladies. Our Facebook page statistics prove it! 58% Female and 41% Male and 1% ..um… maybe transgender? Not sure. Don’t care. Shindig! doesn’t judge. We just offer the very best musical selections from the late 50s and early 60s all on 7″ 45 RPM vinyl records and one HELL of a GOOD TIME!

Get there early or you won’t get in!

Free before 11:00 p.m. and only $5.00 after!

See you on the Dance Floor!

Wooo weee! Shindig is back baby!
We had one hell of a Shindig last time! The best one yet! Let’s see if we can top it! I know I can! I went diggin’ through the dusty bins and came up with some really amazing Jump Rhythm & Blues 7″ 45s as well as some really cool Rockabilly! You know I’ve already got Motown’s greatest hits but now I’ve got everything else you could ask for in a Basement Soul Party! Try me. I will play your requests!

This month is the return of the mighty DJ Double K of the Parkdale Funk Show! http://parkdalefunk.com/ He’s the man who can when it comes to digging up amazing tunes on 7″ 45s and he’s bringing them all just for you to dance to!

We play Rockin’ Rhythm & Blues, Ska, Soul and a little bit of Rockabilly for good measure from labels like Parkway, Dot, Jubilee, Chess, Peacock, Dial, Cameo, Imperial, Motown, Stax, Atlantic, Capitol, Treasure Island, Studio One, Sun, MGM and much much more!

Big thanks to General Eclectic for playing an amazing set last Shindig! Big big thanks to all of you who came out and made this night such a success. It wouldn’t have been the same without you!

DJ Caff and the Steppin’ Uptown crew will be upstairs playing the best R&B tunes from the late 80s and early 90s with a focus on New Jack swing so it’ll be a perfect progression from downstairs to upstairs in terms of the evolution of Black American Music!
Check it out! https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=119324048142605

I’m sooo excited about this one!

See you on the dance floor!
