Bio:
BODEGA GIRLS are a party band.
BODEGA GIRLS: A band of tricksters, hedonists and good-for-nothings whose morals defy even the most perverted of human beings.
BODEGA GIRLS: Only an audience so bloodthirsty and sex starved as they could take pleasure in the world of bra-busting, pants-dropping debauchery they have to offer.
BODEGA GIRLS: A musical troupe performing acts of sexuality and persuasion with their own God-given instruments, turning on the already depraved, as well as the naive.
BODEGA GIRLS: A sick cinematic slew of sweaty skimp and callous kink. An unadulterated penetration into the gaping hole of the sicko’s soul.
BODEGA GIRLS: The human id – illustrated in flesh and guitar strings. Hourglass figures and experienced fingers prance and wriggle their way across the stage, screen and into your psyche. An orgy of sleaze, desire, and rock and roll music – brought to life in bouncy, jiggly technicolor.
BODEGA GIRLS: Hedonistic purveyors of Soul, too well endowed and too world- renowned to be confined to lo rent clubs and white bred soundstages – look for their sonic ebony to explode at a party near you.
BODEGA GIRLS: Dance. Fuck. Sweat. Dance some more. BODEGA GIRLS
Last Supper Music 2010-Navegante
Navegante Docusode from ApeHouse Media on Vimeo.
Navegante
Origin: Brooklyn, NY
Genre: Electro Bass Funk
Bio:
For the last two years, Navegante has evolved into an electronic beat driven beast with two heads. Jean is the lead singer, guitarist, beat maker, song-writer, and group’s founder. A tough and talented front man, Jean was born in the Bronx and raised in Miami. His musical sensibility ranges from Puerto Rican folkloric music to Miami bass to dirty south hip hop. Some of his beats are even 2 Live Crew-esque. Jean’s counterpart, Wash, is a ferocious drummer with a feel that rivals the best in the world. A Cuban-American born in New York City, Wash’s sound is derived from Afro-Cuban music, funk, Afrobeat, and Hip Hop. He adds dubbed out samples while he plays, and is able to integrate the sequenced drums with his live beats flawlessly and with style.
Larry Rohter of the New York Times says Navegante has “an eclectic 21st century sound…”, and David Byrne calls them “a great new band”. The duo has been ripping up stages throughout New York, including a packed Santos Party House, Southpaw, and NuBlu. They spent their first year honing their skills every other Friday night in Spanish Harlem at Camaradas El Barrio, a gritty New York City spot where respect doesn’t come easily.
One of the band’s most esteemed fans, Carlos Santana, says it best: “Navegante is the artist that will carry the torch into the future”
Navegante’s self-titled album will be out this Fall, and they will be touring the east coast, L.A. and San Francisco in the coming months.

Last Supper Music 2010- Hearts Of Darknesses
Name : Hearts of Darknesses
Genre : Rock
Origin : NYC
Short Bio:
Birthed in Cleveland and refined in Brooklyn, Hearts of Darknesses is the perpetual rabble-rouser, the academic electronic composer, and the slacker eternal, all viewed through glasses broken underfoot on the dancefloor.
During the support of ‘Music for Drunk Driving’ (Schematic/Asphodel) and a host of compilation appearances, HOD and its fairy godfather Frank Musarra terrorized audiences by exploiting the possibilities of running around naked in basements and galleries, MP3 player in one hand, microphone in the other. As the bruises healed and the scabs peeled, Musarra spent the interim years refining his craft and supplying remixes for a range of artists like Of Montreal, Tokyo Police Club, Simian Mobile Disco, and the entire Thrill Jockey roster alongside Girl Talk’s Gregg Gillis, as one half of Trey Told ‘Em.
With the release of the new ‘Shit Fan Punx Get Busted’ on Deleted Art, Hearts of Darknesses sketch new dimensions to the potential of electro-grunge. Hot off the heels of stints with Girl Talk, Skeletons, and Lemonade, Frank Musarra and his live band bring to mind the glory days of Brainiac, Six Finger Satellite and early Liars, back when dance-punk actually had a bit more punk going for it. ‘Shit Fan Punx Get Busted’ bridges the gap between the meticulously tweaked electronic sounds of Musarra and Gillis’ remixes and the good old fashioned rock’n'roll songwriting of Nirvana and the bands Musarra grew up listening to. The emphasis on catchy basslines and powerful primitive drumming provides a nice platform for Musarra’s wildman vocals and scuzzy grunge guitarwork. While they may now forgo the in-your-face abuse of their old days, Hearts Of Darknesses both excel in stuck-in-your-brain melodies and revel in what-the-fuck experimentation.

Last Supper Festival 2010- Clickbeatle
Clickbeatle
Bio:
Tom Newman (aka Clickbeatle), along with a team of audio/visual dissidents, created BLANKS NYC, a creative events collective that hosts participatory art events and dance parties throughout New York City. His DJ career began the day he sold his beloved Pearl Jam tickets to buy a pair of used turntables from a pawn shop in Baltimore City.

Genre: Underground House, Bmore, Dubstep, UK Funky, Techno
Origin: Baltimore, MD
Last Supper Festival 2010- DJ Seekten
Name: DJ SeekTen
Genre: All that Good Stuff
Origin: Earth People I Was Born on Jupiter
Bio: It the year 2003 DJ SeekTen migrated from California to Brooklyn. After deciding that the only way that she could live life was to tap into her super hero powers, she began Deejaying in local bars and lounges throughout New York City. While her nights consisted of controlling the dance floor her days consisted of functioning as a herpetologist and, more recently, a philanthropist. In 2009 she transferred her Deejaying skills to the Internet radio with occasional appearances on NYC’s East Village Radio appearing on both “The Block” and “Never Not Working” shows. In the current digital age, when most have turned to using mp3s to play music, DJ SeekTen takes pride in being one of the last of her kind that uses vinyl records as a medium of music expression. DJ SeekTen considers herself genre-less and when asked what type of music she spins her response is always “Whatever is quality. Anything and everything.” SeekTen made her first appearance at The Last Supper in 2006 and has been a participant each year since.
Interpretation: DJ SeekTen is a “self-made” Deejay. Some women Deejays rely on using their physical attributes to attain success, instead, DJ SeekTen chooses to reach her goals purely through hard-work and by tapping into her inner talent. In the current “disposable” and consumption obsessed environment she takes a ”recycled” mentality when sharing her music. This is displayed, first by her use of vinyl records that were once owned by others and second, in her incorporation of music from the past in the mixes she creates today.

Last Supper Music 2010- Matthew Radune
DJ: Matthew Radune
Bio:
Matthew Radune of the Wilding Corporation is a Brooklyn based DJ and artist who’s been playing a mix of underground loft parties and rooftop events for years. He’s also DJ-ed extensively within the New York art scene, having played at MOMA Poprally, the Guggenheim, the Museum of Art and Design, and the Sculpture Center. His style has drifted through the years from a background in disco and new wave through house and techno, and his sets show this diversity and continuous derive.
Interpretations:
I prepare heavily for every event I DJ – collecting material that I think speaks to the venue, event program and general zeitgeist. In this case, I would use this opportunity to premier a series of house edits and compositions that I am working on this summer – thus going along with the SELF MADE theme, and providing the audience with a unique experience.

Origin: Spit out unexpectedly by an exceptionally large lobster found frozen in the ice shelves of the Maine coast.
Bio(logy): Presumed humanoid
Interpretation: Critics are divided on the precise meaning of the mispelling of “door” here. While some maintain that it is simply an early typo that has been erroneously maintained in all subsequent editions, others believe the variation indicates that instead of a sundry portal between two rooms, a “dorr” is rather a connection between one room.
