FRIDAY! My first local SOUL CLAP & DANCE-OFF in ions, my first proper public NYC dee jay gig this year, and, my first-ever party with my old friend EUGENE HUTZ! Eugene told me he has a new band with YEAH YEAH YEAHS’ BRIAN CHASE and some amazing younger musicians called PUZZLED PANTHER and i immediately got them on the live music half of thee CLAP along with another new band featuring old friends, THE FABULOUS ROMAN CANDLES! EUGENE added CRAZY & THE BRAINS and LOOSE BUTTONS plus agreed to be my CONTEST SELECTOR at the 1AM DANCE-OFF and we cobbled together a really cool night! Once Eugene realized our party occurs on the one year anniversary of the UKRAINE invasion, all artists involved generously agreed to donate their take to KIND DEEDS, a nonprofit procuring prosthetics for wounded soldiers. This pic is from a recent Guardian feature on Eugene and his efforts to help his people (you should read it!). In addition to countless benefits, he’s flown home to entertain the troops, recorded a benefit relief single (backed by Les Claypool, Sean Lennon, and Stewart Copeland!), and has been one of the most prominent public proponents for Ukrainian aid. While Eugene is universally known for his electrifying daredevil performances with Gogol Bordello, his starring Hollywood roles in major motion pictures like Madonna’s “Filth and Wisdom” and Liev Schrieber’s “Everything Is Illuminated,” and his supermodel career (where he was so influential that the New York Times credited him with singlehandedly bringing the mustache back into fashion culture), I initially knew him as a noise rock DJ at an after hours on Ridge Street and later as a Ukrainian music DJ at one of the sweatiest NYC parties ever at the old Bulgarian Bar in Chinatown and am excited to see him back behind the booth! From his mustache to his band to his DJing, Eugene has always embraced his heritage, and I’m proud of him for putting it all out there when it matters most, impressed by everything he’s done in the last year to save his people, and glad to be onboard for this!
