For those who havent' met me, my Dj tag is Dj Bolt. I've been around since the 80's as a Dj in the NYC/Long Island area. I worked at the Anvil, Greenwich Village in 1983 on Tuesday night, which was "New Wave" night. The gig was a part time thing and I eventually moved to Virginia only after doing the gig for about 6 months.
Lot stuff going around when you are up there Djing. From having to handle the Drag Show that suppose to happen at 12 midnight (usually 1:00 a.m. drag queens midnight). Even from a drag queen that wasn't a man. Yeah, a woman who had a lip sync act. Some of us thought she was a tranny (full done). I later had a good talk to her and she was married and had a kid. She used the show to help her acting career. My friend Gus and I used to give her flowers before we found out she was a real woman. The other drag star was this Afro-american man who loved Grace Jones. He made a custom out of a parking cone and 2 small "wet floor" cones. Very out there, but fit the genre of the night. From Depeche to Devo, we made it rock at the Anvil in 1983.
Here is a taste of the music from the Anvil's New Wave Tuesday Night.
