Overclock Your New Year's and Support John Faustus!
Tuesday, December 7, 2010 at 12:22PM
This New Year's Eve, throw down for a good cause. We're raising money for the production of John Faustus and the Overclocked Death Drive, a mad-cap, frenetic multimedia adaptation of the classic Faust story, and we're having a huge NYE bash to do it!
Presale tickets are available RIGHT NOW at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/139381
For just $25 you'll enjoy an open bar ALL NIGHT LONG, sponsored by Sixpoint Craft Ales (don't worry, there will be non-beer options, too), a champagne toast at midnight, and all the dancing you can stand until the early morning hours. And who better to help you overclock that death drive than the master of destruction, the incomparable:
NULLSLEEP (8bitpeoples, Blip Festival)
Nullsleep creates powerful romantic pop using repurposed low-bit electronics in a relentless search for new ways to circumvent their limitations. Bittersweet melodies and driving, rhythmic pulses are coaxed out of small plastic devices to produce a surprisingly intense sound. In 1999 Nullsleep cofounded 8bitpeoples, a collective of artists interested in the audio-visual aesthetics of early home computers and video game consoles. He has since released a number of recordings through 8bitpeoples, Astralwerks, Aniplex and others. Based in New York City, Nullsleep has performed extensively throughout North America, Europe and Asia, including the 20-date International Chiptune Resistance world tour in 2006.
There will also be banging DJ sets by:
DJ CHOYCE HACKS (resonatormag.com)
DJ DR. WHO? (Room 404 Media)
And if the one glass of champagne isn't enough, or you're feeling especially wicked, an extra 25 bucks gets you champagne bottle service-- that's $50 for open bar, party, and a bottle of bubbly for your very own.
We'll be adding more information throughout the coming weeks, but be certain that this is already a party you won't soon forget-- that is, if you can remember it in the morning!
