The Coffee&Bars.com Boys, lovingly known as The Cirrhosis Twins in my home, are made up of the talented VJ (and brit-pop guru) Wesley D, and Coffee&Bars creator (and music buff) Josh McD. These two boys have interesting stories, and are sure to bring their unique blend of pop, indie dance, and glorious kitsch to the fore on Saturday at SHIFT Presents: DISCO HO-DOWN.
Wesley D has opened for ME multiple times over the years, and is also the Friday night resident VJ at Nellie's Sports Bar, one of the busiest bars in the city. It is no surprise that Wesley has been instrumental in that facility's gradual more-dance-friendly rebranding process. His strengths lie in his ability to understand what makes good pop without diving excessively into the derivative. Expect to hear a lot of fresh electro pop, including Oh Land, Example, Alphabeat, Ellie Goulding, and Frankmusik from this guy.
Josh McD is one of the more musically eclectic people you'll ever meet, which had to play a huge part in his development of Coffee&Bars into one of the more respected music blogs in the city. Unlike this one, he definitely takes the high road when it comes to reviewing... and is, well, less of a bitch. Haha. Josh makes his SHIFT debut on Saturday, and will bring his love of Radiohead, Mariah Carey, Robyn, The Killers, and Ladytron to the speakers. This will definitely balance out Wesley's style, and help create the kind of environment that SHIFT embodies: indie, electro, and pop gettin' together and makin' dancefloor whoopie.
All in all, I cannot be more excited for these two DJs to trade off before I go on at 12:15/30 upstairs. I will be spending my time trying not to dance and talking to people as they enter... which is going to be quite the task. And, after all, I think few know better how to get a ho down better than Wesley and Josh. Get excited, y'all. This is going to be fanfuckingtastic. Make sure you check out the Coffee&Bars site.
