PENGUIN PRISON (DJ Set)
Even if you never find out what a Penguin Prison is, there’s no denying Chris Glover aka Penguin Prison has made a brilliant record. If you’re a fan of New York disco, as accessible as it is angular, all burbling bass lines, resonant rhythms, shimmering synths and heavenly melodies, then you’ll love the new Penguin Prison album.
Imagine, if you will, Chic produced by James Murphy, or a collaboration between Prince and The Human League. It is some measure of Penguin Prison’s skills in the studio, on vocals and in terms of songwriting, that such illusory marvels have been achieved on this superb self-titled collection, that some critics have gone as far as to hail it a modern day Off The Wall masterpiece.
Double Duchess
SF's new campy electro-hop duo brings you a night to celebrate their debut EP release "Hey Girl!" All night SF's best queer nights come out to play starting w/ Hard French DJ's spinning soul jams, followed by drag's finest performers from Some Thing, and more dancing as DJ Rapidfire from Stay Gold plays hella gay dance jams. Double Duchess will deliver a live performance not to be missed, as DJ Bunnystyle & davO (from Double Duchess) reunite to play the best in Bmore club, remixes, funk, and indie house.
The Frail
The Frail has already been featured on MTV, won the viewer’s choice award in Owl Magazine’s “Video Makes The Radio Star” contest, and played alongside the likes of Justice, Moby and Goldfrapp.
Over the past four years, velvet-throated vocalist Daniel Lannon and hyper-prolific producer Kevin Durr have pushed the group from a Craigslist collaboration to a stage-shattering electro-pop act worthy of national acclaim. Pop-indie hybrids, the group’s electro-tinged cuts now toe the line between falsetto homage to Michael Jackson and the hyper-literate electro experimentation of DFA acts like LCD Soundsystem.
The addition of guitarist Rob Pera and bassist Izzy Chavarin offers yet another layer of depth, cementing the group's shift from simple, party rousing dance tunes to profound pop steeped in indie intelligence.
"The Frail make a dirty sort of electro-fun that's a perfect soundtrack for both dance parties and illegal activities. Ideally: illegal dance parties." --Flavorful
