With the sheer number of hot spots and fun times offered in New York City there's truly only a few places that stand out in my mind as a true must see.
SOB's is located at 204 Varick street on the southernmost edge of the West Village and just blocks from Tribeca.
SOB's always attracts some of the largest names in Hip Hop, Soul, Reggae, Salsa, Latin Alternative, Dance and International music. (Its a first rate dance club too). The name stands for Sounds of Brazil. A country known for getting it cracking. (Not the name I'll call you when you knock over my drink.)
I never hear people leave out of there complaining about the lack of fun they had. I doubt they will anytime soon. It looks good, the sound system is great and its just sizeable enough without being small or massive. Heck it even gets a shout out on a song or two. (Check the last song on Kanye's "Graduation" album , second verse)
Anyway what makes you want to go to SOB's this weekend? he big headliner this weekend happens on Sunday Night. Dancehall superstar Sean Paul is gracing the club for a huge evening of DanceHall/Hip Hop/Reggae. The doors open at 7:00 and the show starts at 9:00. Admission is $28 in advance and a $33 at the door. I think thats very reasonable to get a nice intimate setting with a artist of Sean's caliber.
For Saturday night there is a Sol-Ascension Global Soul Dance Party hosted by Manchild Black going on at the club. That party always brings that upbeat dance crowd out. (I swear they live to dance) If you like soulful house and dance music, freestyle and club dancing this is certainly worth going to. The doors don't open to midnight and probably won't close to well after 4. The price is usually $10-20.
So there you have it. Two good shows. Check out the website www.sobs.com. Even if these aren't your type of music and events there's always something that comes up that will likely make you want to visit SOB's. (B-Real of Cypress Hill will be there this Wednesday.)
