Stop, Drop and Roll with the Goin' Steady DJs!
Every Wednesday in July at 10pm!
The Goin' Steady DJs step into their residency at the Gladstone Melody bar with ease, mining the delinquent underbelly of 50s and 60s malt-shop culture for some of the greasiest, grimiest, out-of-control rhythm and blues music engineered for the sex-crazed rebel youth of today. Soul, Swing, Jump, Twang, Doo-Wop and Jive, collide in a pastiche of rare and nostalgic jams that are sure to get the collective juices flowing (we mean booze, dummies!)
Don't just sit there - Stop, Drop and Roll on down to the party!
Don't Forget to buy tix for the first Harvest Wednesdays tasting event! July 9!
