Everybody’s looking for the next big thing in the entertainment world; we always want the weirdest, youngest, and most awe-inspiring. I too, am always searching for something to catch my eye; recently, an event that took me by surprise is happening right on my doorstep at Toshi’s Living Room & Penthouse.
As opposed to reading the tabloids about the lives of celebrities like Kanye West and Taylor Swift, I get to see some up-and-coming celebs with a couple of friends in the heart of our city.
Upon further research of the event, I found that twin-brothers, Ivan K & FK, will be breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest concert by a duo. The idea and inspiration for the concert came from a start-up media company, FDRMX, props to the small-business world.
My friends, family and friends-to-be can agree, places like the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum and Madame Tussaud’s house of wax are always a must-see; so I figure, since I came across a really cool summer event why not be part of creative history in the making?

New Yorkers alike can agree. We need some type of rush, we crave something different and from Sept. 1st -4th, that’s exactly what my friends and I will be doing. The main artists will be breaking the record from 64 hours, 5mins and 7 seconds to an even 65 hours.
Truth be told, I’m sure that this longest concert ever will be very entertaining and a great summer event because of the company, FDRMX’s history. Research states that this media company actually created multiple events in the past including a concert at Harrah’s casino in the party-empire, AC.

As for the skeptics in the world, including myself, Ivan K & FK will be broadcasting their rehearsals in order to prove that they’ve broken the record before and can break it again officially.
As a proud Brooklynite and New Yorker, call me biased but, I tend to adore creativity and the NYC scene. Toshi’s definitely appeals to my tastes; it’s a sophisticated atmosphere for those classy lady nights while maintaining the fun-loving, anything-can-happen feel of New York.

Now I can’t speak for everyone but, growing up, I’ve always viewed New York City as a sweet melting pot of nationalities. This aspect is also played in the longest concert by a duo which will be a bilingual event, where the main artists will consistently switch between Russian and English songs.
All in all, Toshi’s Living Room & Penthouse is a cool spot, I get to see a Guinness World Record broken, some drinks, friends, music, celebs and fun; what more can a girl ask for? That’s the best of all worlds.
