Johnny Beach's birthday party @ Mercury Lounge

MERCURY LOUNGE, NYC | MAY 28, 2006 (cred)

The schedule for this past Sunday night (May 28, 2006) at Mercury Lounge reads “CLOSED FOR PRIVATE EVENT”. The event in question was Mercury Lounge talent buyer Johnny Beach‘s annual birthday party. Magneta Lane came all the way from Canada to play the list-only show curated by Johnny himself. Set and Setting, Love as Laughter, Sam Champion, and one of Johnny’s favorite New York bands Dirty on Purpose were also on the bill.

SAID ONE ANONYMOUS ATTENDEE
Real fun night involving numerous Beach shout outs, a cake in his face, a pinata filled with candy and glass mini-bottles of tequila that (duh) mostly shattered on the ground. The show closed with a set of covers by Noah and Ryan from Sam Champion, Matt from Rana/King of France, and a guy from Love as Laughter. No Sam Champion set.
