“The Do-Over”, the eclectic music bbq established in the summer of 2005 by Stones Throw Records family Jamie Strong, Chris Haycock, and Aloe Blacc is changing locations. Due to matters not totally made clear by a source, the famed Crane’s Tavern, sandwiched between east Hollywood and Hollywood proper, is now closed.
Although “Do-Over” will be returning to a tbd homestead in May 2011 for a seventh season, the closing of Crane’s (the location of the “Do-Over” party since its inception) marks the end of an era for many long-time party goers who have invested quite a bit of emotional capital into the Hollywood hot spot.
Fashioned after a home backyard, Crane’s Tavern served as the perfect play ground for thousands of music fanatics to hear some of the leading DJs in the house, deep house, hip-hop, electronic, and experimental genres, while mingling (over deliciously potent sangria and bbq) with both locally celebrated and internationally known names in music.
During its six year run, party goers enjoyed the privillege of witnessing innovative sets by the likes of Madlib, Azul 213, King Britt, DJ Jedi, Rich Medina, DJ Spinna, House Shoes, J-Logic, Rodzilla,Flying Lotus, Monalisa, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Gaslamp Killer, A-Ski, Karriem Riggins, Osunlade, No MSG, DJ Destroyer, Vikter Duplaix, DJ Spinderella, 9th Wonder, Rareform,Stretch Armstrong, Don Guapo, J.
