Ask the average Los Angeles socialite what he or she will be doing on a
Sunday afternoon and the answer you receive might not be very interesting.
Perhaps vegging-out in front of the television or nursing a hangover from a
wild Saturday night out. This was not the case, however, in the summer of
2005 when Sunday afternoons were made memorable at a little
cabana-tropical-styled Hollywood getaway named Cranes Tavern. Respected
members of the Los Angeles music scene, Chris Haycock (Ubiquity Records) and
Jaime Strong (Stones Throw Records), teamed up to bring meaning to Sunday
afternoons with an unforgettable party playfully named Do-Over (i.e. do your
weekend all over). Haycock and Strong invited emcee Aloe Blacc (Stones Throw
Records) to host the event and history was made.
Although it takes place in Hollywood, this is far from being your
stereotypical Hollywood affair. call it the anti-Roosevelt / Standard vibe
if you must (although we've had our fair share of celebs partake in the fun
from supermodel Gisele to Little Richard). Week after week, Do-Over grew to
become a pleasure-full habit to a family of dedicated Sunday afternoon
patrons. It became a regular hang out for the who's who of the LA scene,
people looking for a good time from all walks of life, as well as a desired
venue for well-known deejays to share a mix (complete list of Dj's below)
which was all over the map: Brazilian, Afro-Beat, Classics, House, Hip-Hop,
Rock, Reggae, & Beyond. The element of surprise drove more and more people
to this Sunday soiree just to see what guest deejay would grace the patio.
There was something very special about this event that everyone wanted to be
part of it. With very little promotion, relying mainly on word of mouth and
throngs of dedicated patrons, Cranes Tavern often reached capacity early,
leaving a line of folks outside patiently waiting to enter. Initially
intended to run only from 2pm-9pm & end in August, Do-Over's overwhelming
popularity consistently forced it to continue well beyond schedule &
officially ended on Halloween at the costume-mandatory Boo-Over.
In 2006, The Do-Over returns in the same fashion, with more hype, more
excitement, & more madness. Check out the newly created Myspace Page
featuring pictures, music, & video clips like the attached video:
