GadjoDisko, our favorite “Eastern Bloc Party” in town returns this Saturday to furnish Club Cockpit with a wide variety of music from quite a few different parts of the world. Expect to hear diverse genres including Immigrant Punk, Balkan Beats, Funk Carioca / Favela Funk, Slavic Hip-Hop, Ghettotech, Diskoteka, Ethnotechno, and Electrochalga at this veritable dance party. Whew! Yeah, we had to Wikipedia a couple of those! The list of entertainers is quite extensive -- the dancers known as the Brass Ovaries will be performing some amazing feats on the poles while live music will be provided by Beauty Queens of Chernobyl featuring Mistress Stephanie (of Mistress Stephanie & Her Melodic Cat) and Christeene Vale. And as intriguing and eclectic these performances might be, Angeliska Polacheck (one of GadjoDisko’s organizers) informs us that they will be short ‘n’ sweet since the main purpose of the night is to get everyone moving on the dance floor to DJ Chicken Kiev’s endless beats. GadjoDisko’s resident DJ will be spinning music from all over the globe throughout the evening and apparently has a hankering for Eurodisko at the moment. We sure hope to hear some Boney M. classics.


GadjoDisko starts at 10 p.m. and lasts until 4 a.m.; cover is $12, or $7 if you “dress to transgress.” Read our interview with Polacheck from January to learn more about the event, its early days, and its mission.
