The Cate Music Group's "Groove Life Party" hits LITM at 9 pm on Saturday. The band plays soul, jazz, funk, house, rock and Brazilian music, all infused with, you guessed it, groove. There's a $4 cover.

If art film is your thing, though, you can swing by on Sunday night for a screening of Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Eclisse. The film, released in 1962, is considered the last of his trilogy (the other two films are L'avventura and La notte). The screening starts at 8 pm.

Word comes from Joe Condiracci: The changes that made Corkscrew one of the best things to happen to JC Heights in the past year or so (ie, live bands, good djs, etc.) have been nullified.

Via the Corkscrew on MySpace:

"In another of a laundry list of bad ideas, this bar owner has decided to hire someone Luke and I had banned to take over The Corkscrew and turn it back into the drug ridden, half-assed excuse for a sports bar it was failing as before we got there...go figure.

Needless to say all bands, Dj's and other talent I had lined up for this venue got fired with me. You aren't wanted here either it seems.

Another JC live venue bites the dust. It will be missed.

Tomorrow the Hoboken Historical Museum hosts an unusual-for-a-historical-museum program focused on one of Hudson County's treasures: Maxwell's. Former owner/booker Steve Fallon and current co-owner/booker Todd Abramson "will talk about what has made Maxwell's one of the coolest area clubs since long before Brooklyn was hip." Here's hoping they delve into the idea of a rock club as catalyst for urban renewal and arts-scene building.
