The Do-Over

Polaroid thanks to Al Myers

What a “doozy”! The July heat finally came through and kicked us all in the ass as the sangria (actually all drinks) seemed to go down much more quickly this week at The Do-Over. An early visit from paramedics proved once again its wise to get hydrated with the clear stuff (no, not vodka) before and during your arrival at Cranes.

With the heat means more sweat and the guest DJ’s surely added to that. Early resident styles from Haycock into a mind exploding selection from Andy Votel brought us into the jam packed madness we’ve come to expect week in and week out. Big thanks to Aussie’s Nick Toth and DJ Sheep for building the rootsy funky dancefloor vibes, followed by slippery classic soul from Mayer Hawthorne. Do-Over favorite J.Rocc arrived just in time and I’m sure you all can’t disagree. Finally, one of our favorite genius musicians Jeremy Ellis had everyone picking their jaws up off the floor following 90 minutes of live madness.

Only a couple days away, we do it again large this week. You all know to trust us with that by now. Enjoy the rest of the week and we look forward to seeing you stumbling around with us on Sunday.

What’cha Wanna Do? Do-Over!

The Do-Over was all about the disco vibes this past weekend. From the disco choons that permeated through the sound system on the early tip from Jamie Strong and Conor to Cranes being turned into a serious discotheque throughout the day thanks in large part to our mystery guests Pase Rock, Al Jackson, Mona Lisa, and Lloydski. Even at the tail end of the night, the inside and outside was packed Dance Party USA style as folks got down to classic House.

Unfortunately, we encountered problems recording the sets so if you missed out, you truly did miss out on a special day. Sometimes what happens at The Do-Over, stays at The Do-Over.

With that being said, this Sunday is shaping up to be a very special one. The forecast is sunshine, 80s and plenty of fun due to some very special mystery guests including our first ‘live’ element of the summer which you won’t want to miss.

Summertime is now obviously in full-swing. Case and point was this past Sunday with the temperature and sunshine deciding to represent to the fullest. Lets not forget the incredible lineup of special guests and in combination it’s easy to say it was the perfect formula for a perfect Do-Over day.

While many braved a line around the building to get a taste of that sweet sweet sangria, the vibe inside was one of optimism, remembrance and mayhem. Though Black Sabbath did kick off the musical program, it was no sign of the shine that took over… special guests Daishizen from Japan, DJ Proof all the way from the Bay, Peanut Butter Wolf, The Rub’s own Ayres, Mr. Choc and the notorious Waldo all laid it down in the only way they know how… smooth and funky, with some amazing moments of MJ sprinkled in for god measure.

Celebrate your independence this Sunday and why not close out the long weekend with the Sunday sure-fire-sure-shot that is guaranteed to fill up any unfulfilled expectations from these sometimes overwhelming holiday weekends (ha, basically be sure to overwhelm yourself!)

What’cha Wanna Do? Do-Over!!!
