July 30: Corrosion brings back the Punk!

CorrosionDC — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 15:05:56 GMT

Well, along with the Industrial...you get the idea. FREE admission all night/doors open at 8 pm/drink specials all night/21+. This week, we've got ScaryDave guest djing for us! Be sure to stop by and check out his sets, this Sunday, only at Corrosion! ---------- Scary Dave has been a long-time member of the DC scene, having grown up in the DC punk family before getting introduced to the Goth/Industrial scene at Tracks and Capital Ballroom back in the early 90's. He got his start deejaying at Orpheus at events like Deja Vu and Obsession, and has since deejayed at such parties as Taboo, Purgatorio, Nevermore, Midnight, and too many after-parties to mention. Dave plans on bringing his usual mix of Post-Punk, Sythnpop & Industrial, but expect a focus on the classics (don't worry, he has a new track or two up his sleeve as well). This is Dave's last DJ gig ANYWHERE until November, so be sure to come and hang! More info on Corrosion can be found here: www.corrosion-dc.com Like what we've been playing? Then head on over to Strangeland Records (www.strangelandrecords.com), they've got a wide variety of tunes (cds and vinyl!), clothing, artwork, etc. Support your local scene and vendors!
