THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE NEW ENGLAND TRI-STATE AREA
The department of Homeland Security has just released a threat advisory notice confirming that NO TOMORROW is returning to MACHINE on SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4th.
It appears that there it little chance of preventing this they suggest attending the event to avoid total calamity. Furthermore they point to key intelligence indicating THIS MONTH'S THEME IS RED and ANYONE WEARING RED GETS IN FOR $5 ALL NIGHT (And not just red shoelaces or something lame like that, because the last time we checked this was America and these visual themes don't run)
The mainroom will be bathed in red light as resident MISTAKER brings your another month of dark techno electro and house.
He will be joined by the infamous PUNKETTA who you might remember from last years BLOODFEAST (which is October 30 w/ Mistaker and Volvox this year)
As always VERMIN ST and ZEBBLER bring you another month of sights and sounds in the infamous 2012 lounge.
This months guest djs include MOLDY (heavy pressure, Earwax), VICE T (left turn) and ADAM RIDGE.
As a special treat for the night, ZEBBLER will also perform an hour long bass heavy a/v set in the 2012 Lounge, featuring some brand new Zebbler Encanti Experience material.
So don't forget to join in and WEAR RED, this will be a night to remember
