Interview

Vincent Marino – Four Happy Men Hospitality Group, Brooklyn

Published January 15th, 2021

In 2011, Vincent Marino arrived in New York City from London to manage one of the most anticipated cocktail bars on the Lower East Side in that expansive era.

DJ Set

Hard 2 B A Saint in The City

Special Thanks to DJs Martin Schray & Thomas Weber

Open in SoundCloud
This set takes you back to an era when New York was the hippest place on earth. It’s a time machine that zooms in on underground punk, new wave, and jazz that defined a golden age. Love goes to music on fire melding uptown and down, high and low, gay and straight culture to capture the city’s cacophony – with a drink in your hand.

– Martin Schray

Special Guest Chris Cacavas

This video was the first in what may become a semi-regular production at Electric Eel Studios – what we call “Later Days”, our attempt at a late night-style talk show. It’s down, it’s dirty, but we wanted to give it a go. What is more New York City than a late night talk show filmed in the afternoon?
