TIckets for MIDNIGHT on sale next week, details to be announced soon. 18+ Press for Washed Out:
"The one-man project of 26-year-old Georgia native Ernest Greene, Washed Out has crafted some of the year's most gorgeous electronic music, mixing obscure disco and Euro-pop samples (Gary Low's "I Want You," anyone?) and droning shoegaze textures with sweeping synthesizers, reverb-dunked vocals and danceable beats. Like an E.E. Cummings poem, Washed Out's music is cloaked in mystery and nearly impossible to forget." - NPR
"Greene crafts impossibly gorgeous pop that mixes up woozy synthesizers, droney shoegaze textures and funky, sometimes danceable beats." - Rolling Stone
Press from WTCHKRFT:
“WTCHKRFT: You've spent a lot of time and money on your Halloween costume, so maximize its use by starting the spooky celebration this week! WTCHKRFT is going to be an explosive dance party featuring some impressive DJs: DJ List Christee (Kevin Barnes from Of Montreal), Immuzikation, Dan Donahue (Krush Girls), Black Dominoes, Twin Powers, Grave Robbers and Nate Nelson. You're encouraged to come early and stay late. The party begins at 10 p.m. at the Chase Street Warehouses, right next to Pig Pen. It's $6 to get in before midnight and $7 after. As for staying up late, apparently Red Bull and blacklight.com have stepped up as sponsors, so that'll keep the party going. (159 Oneta Street, Saturday 24)” - Flagpole
“The party at which to be on Saturday night — holy incredible DJ lineups.” - Athens Banner-Herald  |
