Black Donnellys v Dirty Pop

Been introduced to this new TV series by Rahul called the "Black Donnellys". I've only seen the pilot episode but its an interesting twist on the typical mob genre with these 4 Irish brothers (pictured above):

"The Black Donnellys follows the exploits of four young, working-class Irish brothers. Their involvement in organized crime in New York City will put their life at risk and they will do anything to protect each other from the hostility between them and the others New York families who want their territory. The series is produced by NBC Universal Television Studio in association with Blackfriars"


The first episode shows three brothers getting into deep do-do by robbing a truck of Hawaiian shirts, kidnapping a mob boss's nephew and then indirectly taking over the neighbourhood by killing the Italian and Irish mob boss.

DJ Ho @ Dirty Pop, Tank Nightclub



Checked out Tank Nightclub for the opening of their new night Dirty Pop. Went with Ed, Chuck, Rahul, Jen x 2, and a host of Sydney Techers. It was pretty good. The top level is the back of the Establishment and the bottom level is the basement of the Establishment. They had two rooms going downstairs, new/old skool rnb in one room, and 80's/90's pop in the other room.

I didn't realise at the time but that there was a second entrance at the back of the basement. When I eventually arrived downstairs the main area was empty, but everyone had filtered into the 80's/90's pop room from the back entrance.


Highlight of the night would have been this impromptu break dance battle. These guys decked out in semi-break dance gear were doing their thing. They started krumping, popping and locking, doing headstands, etc... A mate of mine, Ian couldn't stand it any longer, and jumped in and battled one of them wearing his work clothes - suit and all! He actually was pretty good. But then these guys who were obviously pros, didn't want to be embarrassed in public by some guy from an accounting firm, decided to blow everyone away with windmills and an inverted hollowback (I checked with my bro for the proper term, see pic below).



My chiropractor doesn't recommend this

Overall it was a good atmosphere, diverse crowd, expensive drinks (but all clubs are), excellent music.
