M.A.N.D.Y.: We're pretty sure Philipp is on the left
We got some great news the other day, and it went a little something like this: ‘Matthew Dear and the mustachioed half of M.A.N.D.Y. (Philipp Jung) are looking for a low-key monthly spot in New York. Got any leads?’
Why, yes; yes, we do. And so we suddenly have Buddies, a much-needed middle finger to the super-club scene (see such depressing, $12 drink-driven spots as Cielo and Pacha) that continues to make Manhattan look as culturally bankrupt as the Bridge and Tunnel crowd that invades it every weekend. (Notice we said Manhattan; Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin’s ongoing Mister Saturday Night parties and the Brooklyn-borne Trouble & Bass collective are two bright spots that leave us with some hope for dance music in the city.)
Anyway, if M.A.N.D.E.A.R.’s—their newly-appointed name, not ours—Buddies theme song is any indication, Wednesday’s ridiculously intimate Gallery Bar gig will be like Cheers for club kids, a place where everybody knows your name and the drinks are affordable enough to create a messy situation indeed.
In the words of the night’s host Sigu, “Please learn the words and sing along. Ultimately, we are all Buddies.”
We’ll see you at LPR tomorrow. Please have a drink waiting for us…

Guess we are all buddies now. Nice LFO freak out at the end of that track. Think Im going to play with my Juno now.
Pretty sweet track, LFO sweep at the end is cool yeah Adam!
LPR’s drink prices and their $6 coat check aren’t much of a middle finger to cielo. LPR does have $4 cans of rolling rock, but i don’t think their other drinks are THAT much cheaper than cielo, imo. still looks to be a welcomed monthly nite in manhattan…
Fair enough, but it’s a better vibe, isn’t it?
i guess. i still go to cielo for deep space and the vibe on a monday is decent (no B&T), but the security check at cielo is never fun. when i first moved to nyc, i quickly learned to never go to cielo or pacha on a weekend.
