Because Everyone can be a rockstar for 3 minutes

Singing Karaoke is definitely on my top ten list of favorite things to do and Rock-N-Roll Karaoke at Arlene's Grocery is #1. On Monday nights this LES hole in the wall is transformed into a bonafide rock arena and you get to perform Karaoke on stage with a rock band backing you.

There are no teleprompters, just scraps of paper with lyrics so you gotta bring your performance skills. Sign up early, because they take up the sign in sheet around 11pm and your shot at stardom will be over until NEXT Monday.

Even as a spectator you'll love the show, all your favorite rock songs sung live. Check out the Setlist.

Free Flowin....NYC Hip Hop Karaoke

Last month I stumbled upon this gem downtown...NYC Hip Hop Karaoke. It's one of the best karaoke nights I've ever been to and it's Free! I also thoroughly enjoy Monday nights at Arlene's Grocery if you want to feel like a rockstar, they have Rock n Roll Karaoke and it's free too.

But for me Hip Hop Karaoke takes the cake. I went last month and it was mindblowing. The talent level is amazing and apparently special guests like Rhymefest & Big Daddy Kane have performed in the past. They key for any free karaoke night is to show up early. If you want to Rap sign-up by 10pm.

The show starts at 11pm and goes until 2:30am or so.

The next installment of Hip Hop Karaoke is this Saturday, July 19th at 10pm at the Knitting Factory-74 Leonard St. (at Church)Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
