New Orientation & Videos Galore at Tandem Bar


Broadway may not have discovered us yet, but the blogs are on fire - and our Wednesday karaoke night at Tandem Bar is a disco inferno!

NEW ORIENTATION!
We've been working round the clock designing the best possible singing experience, and tonight our technical drawings will become miraculous reality. Take it from your happily married heterosexual hosts, we are well "versed" in "orientation change."

YOUR BIRTHDAY IN SONG!
Tell us a week in advance, gather your friends, and we'll give your party a $25 drink tab.

WORLD PREMIERE EVENTS!
Have the B-flats to direct your own karaoke art video? We'll give you a star-studded premiere to remember and a $50 tab for you and your ravenous entourage!

The silvery mesh will never feel so good pressed against your lips as you infuse it with a shower of C#!

Find yourself in our 12,000 song catalog!
Cheer on our brave troupe of daring singers!
Witness the dawn of new age in Avant-garde karaoke-making!
(And get drunk while doing it..)

Sing with us in 2011!


2010 was a big year for us! We took one giant leap to the forefront of the New York Karaoke Avant Garde - and to make sure our B's are razor sharp in 2011 - we've taken up residency at TANDEM BAR in Bushwick. Every Wednesday night we are sharing our 12,000 song catalog with one and all!

Feel in the mood for a self-loathing goth number? We have it. Perhaps you wanna shake your ass to a daring Beyonce tune? No problem, we've racked up all her hits. Perhaps you can show Katy Perry how to sing Firework? Angry Death Metal? Gospel? Glee? Po-dunk Hillbilly? We have it all!!!!

Search our catalog right here newsoundkaraoke.com, then get your ass to Tandem Bar!

SING WITH US EVERY WEDNESDAY AT TANDEM BAR!


Starting this Wednesday you can open up the best Kwanzaa gift you ever wished for: our karaoke catalog!

How can we say this? At our last venue, your karaoke wailing was so passionate, so boisterous, so soul-bearingly epic that the neighbors rang ten times to tell us to keep our karaoke excitement in our pants. Oops. Honestly though, karaoke is not an art sung in half-measures. Don't you agree?

Each and every Wednesday night you'll be able to carol your little hearts out where we feel most at home - IN THE BACK ROOM! And really, what better way is there for a Microphista to usher out a glottis-drying even numbered year?

Songbirds new and old are cordially invited to come shake us to the core with their vibrato or just observe the shimmering glory of those all those who dare to show off their chords behind the silvery mesh. As Shonelle sings in her 2010 hit single Impossible (now available in our catalog), "Shout it from the rooftops!"

Art In General Blow Out & The World Premiere of TELL IT TO MY PRETTY FACE


We blew the roof off Art In General's 3rd Annual Saturday Night Party, which wasn't easy with subterranean brick vaulted ceilings in a club that was once known as the MAN HOLE in the 1970's. The former den of hot, horny naked Bears swinging appendages to Diana Ross saw new life with 200 hungry fans packed like meat into the the Meat Packing District's brand new Bunker Club.

Many thanks to the folks at Art In General for giving us the opportunity to host their very important fundraiser this year. We are two octaves closer to establishing KARAOKE as the hottest new art-craze in New York City. Special thanks to our special guests and karaoke pioneers Ben Coonley who premiered a hand-raising video for Taio Cruz's Dynamite, June Fagley who rocked two diva classics, Baby Mama (aka Jeanine Oleson) who selflessly re-lived the birth of our former baby with Hold On, and Michael O'Niel who brought us into A Whole New World with a video animated by Danny Balgley!

Extra special thanks to KINHO KARSYN, the brilliant cartoonista from Brazil who animated our latest video - and to AVA OMEGA JARDEN who tirelessly produced the brilliant track! Without further ado, the internet premiere of TELL IT TO MY PRETTY FACE:



The entire event was photographed by Julian Mackler Studios, the entire album can be seen here.
