Horse Trade Theater and Joe Yoga present A VERY YOGA CHRISTMAS! 3rd annual

WE SAVED THE GREATEST PARTY OF THE YEAR FOR LAST!!

It's been a long, hard year. A year of hopes, dreams, triumph, surprises, love, agony, music, theater, partying, new friends, old friends, loss, sleep (well, maybe not sleep)...

WELL FUCK IT. It's that time of year folks...

We are blowing all that shit out the water, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and we are ONCE MORE going to rock like it's 2010 (cause it is).

Joe Yoga live @ Stain Bar (setlist) 8.30.2008

Well, I have a new favorite place in the world. It’s called Stain Bar- please visit them @ http://www.stainbar.com/ or just go down to 766 Grand Street in Brooklyn (right off the L train at the Grand St stop). It’s artist owned & run by Caroline and Craig who also play in a cool band called Tin Veil. The wide main bar area has about seven or eight couches, fantastic art all over the wall, notebooks you can write in, and the bar itself has a great selection of (reasonably priced) NY beers and wine. Being Labor Day weekend (and the night of the Sonic Youth show at McCarren Pool) it was a little slow, but the vibe of the place was undeniable. Plus they have a nice-sized outdoor garden with tables and an enormous metal sculpture of a quarter (as in 25 cents) that has to be seen to believed.

I played there this past Saturday (the 30th) and they gave me the whole night. I did two sets (17 songs) and just had a blast, as did everyone who came out. I recorded the thing so live tracks should be up in a few days when I get my act together. I’ve listened to it to extract the setlist (since I never actually have a setlist, just a bunch of songs on a piece of paper that have been working for me lately, then I choose from them) and there are some great versions of these so I’m psyched to get them up here for yous.
