Welcome to the site of the Tuesday Night Music Club - a bunch of crazy people (mostly from the Long Island Theatre world) who get together Tuesday nights to sing karaoke, dance, drink, and just about anything else.

Where and when, you might ask, can I see (and hang out with / worship / fondle) these crazy people? Well, I'm glad you asked. We get together Tuesday nights, usually starting about 9pm, at the Lizard Lounge (<-- click for more info) in Bohemia.

Although the TNMC is fortunate to have a number of members who are proven and accomplished singers, the emphasis is always upon having a fun night out. Newcomers or "just-in-the-shower" singers need not fear the quality of their karaoke-singing being rudely received. Even our experienced singers often try unfamiliar songs and sometimes fall flat. It's all part of the fun! So please don't be intimidated - just step on up to the mic! "Theme Nights" The theme for each week is announced at least one week ahead of time, and everyone picks a song to perform from the given "Theme". The rest of the night you're free to sing from your usual repetoire. It's a lot of fun. You can see (and hear!) all the craziness and embarrassing moments on the Videos and Gallery pages.

WARNING:

Consumption of alcohol may cause an influx in the time-space continuum, whereby small (and sometimes large) gaps of time may seem to literally disappear. (a full scientific explanation of the phenomenon can be found here. Never let it be said that the Tuesday Night Music Club shies away from the deep scientific and philosophical questions of the universe.)

 

 

The Tuesday Night Music Club actually started as a weekly WEDNESDAY gathering of some theatre friends looking for a good mid-week activity, and found it with drinks and karaoke. Most of that original 2001 group are still regulars with the Club today. In those early days, the group gathered most regularly at Eleanor's, a bar in Oakdale, Long Island, where they generally found themselves to be the youngsters of the crowd. By 2002, the group found a home in the newly-opened Lizard Lounge in Bohemia. Over time the group transitioned into Tuesday night gatherings, but with the various members occasionally signing onto various theatre projects, the weekly assemblies became a little more intermittent, and regular attendees dwindled somewhat. Meanwhile, original member Michele began working for the Lounge, eventually becoming a bartender there. The smaller meetings continued, with Ed and George of the original group holding the core together.

Near the end of 2006, the group began to reshape itself. Ed, with current members Jeannine, Michelle ("Not-the-Bartender Michele"), and Dee - known together as "The Whores" (for Karaoke-Whore, not what you're thinking) began making Tuesdays a regular tradition again. The foursome began touring to a variety of locations, but kept the Lounge as their true home base, and now rarely wander off the reservation. George fell right in with the revitalized group, Dee introduced the concept of "theme nights" and awards, and Ed began organizing the outings and, in doing so, brought many new members into the group. Today, members still come-and-go based on their outside theatre projects, drinks have been created and named after core members (ask for the "Sex With Ed" or the "NiNi NuNu"), and new Tuesday Nighters are coming all the time. If you've got a karaoke song in your heart... and an affinity for beer, gossip, and hardcore nudity, then groom those nether regions and come on down! Make sure to check out our "Theme Nights" itinerary so you're well-prepared for a night of fun among a nice group of crazies. Oh, sometimes there's some impromptu choreography, too, so best not to be thrown by that...

The Tuesday Night Music Club gives back! In 2009, VP of Humptiness Steve W went on a special mission to Africa to bring the joy of karaoke to places all over the continent. Check out the slideshow here!

Peace and Humptiness,
The TNMC

get to know some of the crazies that make up the TNMC...

(mouse over a picture for info)

 

The Grand Council
Ed (TNMC Grand Poobah) prefers to remain an enigma, wrapped in a riddle. His repetoire is as varied as his personality, including rock, funk, show tunes, and sappy love songs. If you want to hear something specific, just ask - the fearless Ed is usually very obliging!		Melanie (TNMC Consiglieri / O.B.I.) is one of the group's most talented singers and overall creative members. She can be seen covering anything from country to pop to musical theatre, or harmonizing with one of the other members.		Steve W (TNMC Vice President of Humptiness) tends to stay with the classics - many an old-time standard, with the occasional modern song mixed in. And of course, his signature tune, "The Humpty Dance".
Ed (Grand Poobah)		Melanie (Consiglieri / O.B.I.)		Steve W (VP of Humptiness)

 

Officers
Michele (TNMC Fabulous Singing Bartender - Female Division) is TNMC’s official bartender, but besides creating new drinks for TNMC occasions, also takes time out to sing with the Club, boasting a repertoire of over 500 songs!		Kristen is the group's official KJ, or "Karaoke-Jockey". Besides running the show, as a singer she is capable of handling music of any genre, and is always at-the-ready with a selection for Theme Nights.		Kim (TNMC Official Birthday Girl) has sworn she'll never be seen on the TNMC stage, but she remains a Tuesday night regular and avid supporter of the group's singers. Sooner or later, we expect her to take the stage (likely due to too many drinks).		Sue (TNMC Artiste Graphique Extraordinaire) consistently offers up one of the more intriguing Theme Night submissions and has proved herself adept taking on most any music genre.

Kelly began as one of the group's non-singing supporters, but finally succumbed and won TNMC's weekly "Theme Night" competition ("Duets") with her debut performance.	George, along with Ed, has been a TNMC member since long before it even occurred on Tuesdays. Hear him sing anything from Gary Puckett to the Backstreet Boys.	Jeannine ("J9") is one of the original TNMC members and specializes in pop songs, especially from the ‘80s. Request her to sing her rendition of “Fame”!	Dee is TNMC's country music specialist, but can also rock out, and her take on Donna Summer's "On the Radio" is legendary. As leader of the "Karaoke Whores", she introduced the concept of "Theme Nights" long before it became a TNMC staple.	Michelle, along with Ed, Jeannine, & Dee, is a member of the elite "Karaoke Whores" that helped revitalize the TNMC. Michelle is always taking a chance on new material, but you gotta request her version of the Motels' "Only the Lonely".	Donna, despite possessing a wealth of stage talent, prefers to remain one of TNMC's regular "audience" members, especially while rooting on husband Jerry. Those that have seen her onstage hope to coax a karaoke appearance out of her eventually.
Jerry ("J-Magg") is one of TNMC's theatre veterans and as likeable a character as you'll find down at the Lounge (unfortunately because the rest are miserable jerks). Jerry specializes in rock/pop from the 60's through the 90's.	Bob "Boob" is very likely the most powerful voice seen on the TNMC stage. Bob's singing always seems to make the girls swooney-eyed, and he can also drink most of the group under the table as well. Request some Journey from him!	Meredith started with the group back in the early days at Eleanor's, and has returned after a long layoff. With musical theatre as her forte, Meredith has one of the truly great voices among the Club.	Brian is another TNMCer with a theatrical background, and his musical talent is not limited to singing. On our stage, he is usually seen taking on showtunes, rock and pop standards.	Joy is always happy with a mic in her hand and if you hear her voice, you'll know why. With a background in musical theatre, Joy is a pro whether going solo, in a duet, or even group-sing.	Ray does have stage experience, but generally leaves that for other evenings and chooses to remain one of the steadfast audience members of the group... but we think he's just there for the girls.
Tim is one of the Lizard Lounge's bartenders and takes constant good-care of TNMC members. Tim also sings from a wide catalogue of pop-rock from the 50s through the 90s and is always up for trying something new.	Joe, one of the truly great voices of the group, can sing from a multitude of genres and never shies away from trying unfamiliar material. This, along with his wardrobe (which ranges from shirt-n-tie to grass skirt and coconut bra) makes him a real wild card.	Kevin acts as Security for TNMC's elite Whores as his primary Club duty, but will also occasionally be found singing... if you can get enough alcohol in him.	Shari is another of the Club's trained voices and was a Theme Night winner in her first performance with her rendition of "In My Daughter's Eyes".	Stephen is a charmer. With his infectious smile, he can croon with the best of them and is best known around the TNMC for his take on the Elvis Presley catalogue.	Abe is usually one of the first to arrive and always the last to leave. If you ask nicely, you just might get him to knock your socks off with his fabulous rendition of Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills".
Keith is a well-known former American Idol contestant who's always adventurous in his song choices, often taking on the hits of female artists like Madonna or Katie Perry.	Erika takes time off from singing with the popular band, Lewd Buddha, to sing with the TNMC and is usually good to offer up something spicy and provocative.	Juliann, a singer for longer than even she can remember, can always be counted upon for an intense, heartfelt performance. Or at least a memorable performance on roller skates.	Jordan is one of TNMC's younger spirits and is as enthusiastic as an audience member as she is a singer. Pulling her up for a group sing could result in anything from musical theatre to Britney Spears pop.	Emma has become a regular on the TNMC stage and is best-known for her take on the Dixie Chicks' "Goodbye Earl".	Frank's taste is pretty hardcore. If it rocks, Frank'll sing it. Expect to hear some Nickelback... Rob Thomas... Hell, he's even taken on Alanis Morrisette.
Bonnie brings a voice as sweet as her face to the TNMC stage. Although able to tackle any Club Theme thrown her way, you can't go wrong requesting a pretty ballad from Bonnie.	"Sweet Melissa" is another theatre veteran who brings her pipes to the TNMC. Ask her for a ballad or to rock out with some Melissa Etheridge.	"Sexyback Steve" brings a big smile to the stage no matter what the theme, but always gets the fannies on the dance floor with his take on the Justin Timberlake song of his TNMC nickname.
