Amazing singing at Rocketfish

Everything just seems to come together at the Rocketfish Lounge on the Thursday karaoke nights. Here are just some of the amazing songs:

Escalante: Let’s Stay Together in the style of Al Green
Baker: Rich Girl in the style of Hall & Oates
Gabe: When Doves Cry in the style of Prince
Thomas: Danny’s Song in the style of Kenny Loggins
Dana: Rock And Roll (loaded Album Version) in the style of The Velvet Underground

Here is the complete list of song sung of 01/05/2012 at the Rocketfish Lounge

Help bring the DDP to San Francisco

Tom and Gary, perpetrators of the Decentralized Dance Party

These guys ROCK! and I have decided to back them! Let’s bring the Decentralized Dance Party to San Francisco!

This is a project that is dear to my heart, since I run a party called Car-E-Oke that also works via an FM transmitter. Here was my feeble attempt to promote my Car-E-Oke parties back in 2005 http://beyondkaraoke.us/car/.

Also check out the DDP Manifesto…Its cool!

Probably no karaoke at Dalva 1/1/12

I am getting on Chicken’s bus at 2:30 am and won’t get back until about 9pm. Since I am not sure exactly when the bus will really get back I have cancelled the Karaoke KJPaul night at Dalva on January 1st, 2012! It was a tough call… since my motto is that I never stop the party. An outcry could make it happen, but it would start a bit late and I will be on a 36 hour day at that point.

Shirts came off at Rocketfish Karaoke!

Last week a group came in to Rocketfish for the first time on a karaoke night. They were there when I started at 8pm and stayed until close. They were having a great time. At the end of the night I said, as I often do, “and you can hear the entire night again tomorrow on KJPaul.com!” They were super excited about it and I even played a little sample clip for them on the spot before they left.

The next day I saw a spike in traffic on KJPaul.com because they were all listening to it and they passed the URL around their office and to their friends. When I got to Rocketfish last night (12/22/2011) there was a large group of them there waiting to sing. It got a little crazy! Here are some photos and the recordings!

El Rio Closed 12/21 & 12/28

El Rio is close for two weeks every year around Christmas and New Years, so there will be no karaoke at El Rio of Dec. 21, 2011 or on Dec 28, 2011. All my other nights are as the usually are, so will be at Rocketfish on the 22nd and the 29th.

Costume Karaoke at El Rio!

Tuesday, November 29, 2011, 8pm-close — Costume Karaoke at El Rio

Costume Karaoke flier

This will be the first of (hopefully) many Costume Karaoke nights at El Rio! I will bring out my costume rack and people are welcome to come in costume and/or put on one of mine.

I used to do these nights at the Deco Lounge and they were ridiculously fun. I bring a large rack of clothes, wigs, sunglasses etc for everyone to ware during the evening. This was one of my favorite nights at the Deco Lounge; let’s see how it does at El Rio!
