When: The evening of Saturday December 17th. 9p-lateOur yearly holiday party celebrates our community and it’s accomplishments throughout the year. 2011 has been exceptionally triumphant and this year we present the ‘Host of House Parties Present’ in honor of our distinguished friends who have made this year so marvelous. While we intend the party to be relatively small, we encourage you to include close friends and fresh faces that would be most delighted by our unique happenings.
The legendary bed stage will be returning with musical acts all night. David Colón will begin the evening by regaling us with acoustic holiday favorites, a midnight performance by i can dress myself will follow and the night will close with a delicious and epic dance party DJ’d by Dioscuri.
We will be serving beer and holiday tea, although gifts of spirits and ales are encouraged. As usual, outfits of the freshest holiday garb are smiled upon.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Planet Booty is a force to be reckoned with. Having started as a genre-defying concept album by brothers Nathan and Dylan Germick that blends electropop, sci-fi synths, space funk and booty bass, the project has evolved into a live show of epic proportions. The 6-piece ensemble fuses electronics, drums, percussion, horns, marimba, guitars, and soulful singing (with a splash of choreography and theatrics) to create a hyper-charged and highly entertaining dance party experience.

San Francisco based, forward thinking DJs/Producers - Sólfire & BTRU joined forces in 2011 w/ Miss Minxx (official VJ) to bring a unique audio visual club experience.

From a dark alternate future space reality (We THINK), their purpose here and now on PlanetEartZ is unknown, (Likely: breeding/takeover). They eat VHS tapes and write dance music. Their dark, electro-funk songs are bio-genetically engineered to cause listeners’ bodies to immediately disrespect themselves. Starbeast II. In 3D.

Kraft Funk
With a tip of his hat to hip hop’s origin, producer Josef Allen explains Kraft Funk as a DJ set comprised of early ’80s electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk songs mixed with ’70s - current era funk breaks. A montage of grooving quirky electro-funk performed by triggering multiple layers of samples, loops, and songs.
