SOUL POWER! W/ SPECIAL GUEST VJAM

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Parkdale Funk is proud to present another night of deep and serious soul and funk vinyl gems at the Starving Artist! This months featured guest is Toronto’s own VJAM! This man is one half of the Simmer Down team, the man behind the Super Eight parties, a visual artist and one hell of a record collector.

As always there’s no cover,  guaranteed good tunes all night, the kitchen will be open late and two great patios to chill out on.

THE LAST SIMMER DOWN JULY 23

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Simmer Down has been proving Toronto with some amazing nights of soul, funk, Brazilian, Latin and reggae music for two amazing years. The time has come to wrap things up for a while. Ol’ Mogpaws is moving base camp to Brazil and shan’t… return until Earth has gone fully around the sun once or twice more.

In addition to the usual stud-muffins, A mish mash of some of our city’s finest talent from some of your favourite parties will be dropping by with bags of records and such to make sure it’s an evening to remember. We’ll add others as confirmation arrives. Six Degrees has 2 floors and we’ll be on the upper floor (downstairs is a salsa vs reggaeton party)

$5 before 11:00pm
$10 after (more mouths to feed this time)

After constructive feedback, it was determined that the main lacking element to the party was sufficient sound caliber. We’ve chosen Six Degrees as it’s free of police-calling neighbours and endowed with the equipment needed to satisfy the sonically picky. Hoorah!

Downtownians will perhaps think that Eglinton is some remote, distant place that could take months to get to by tall ship…but actually it’s subway accessible and there’s a splendid/convienient upchuck express that can also safely guide you to your place of lodging. So…no excuses!
