FRIDAY:KRAFTWERK and GARY NUMAN tribute at Strangelove

tomasdiablo — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:54:00 GMT

On Friday, June 5th, Strangelove pays tribute to the pioneers of electro: Kraftwerk and Gary Numan. DJs Tomas Diablo, Fact50 (Shadow Society), Prince Charming (The Pleasure Principle), and Otter (Dancing Ghosts) spin the best of Kraftwerk and Gary Numan, their contemporaries and those heavily-influenced by them, AND the best dark electro, industrial, goth and new wave! Details below... STRANGELOVE Friday, June 5th: ARE FRIENDS ELECTRIC? Celebrating the music of KRAFTWERK and GARY NUMAN Dark Electro - Industrial - New Wave - Goth with DJ TOMAS DIABLO and guests FACT.50 (Shadow Society) PRINCE CHARMING (The Pleasure Principle) and OTTER (Dancing Ghosts) 4 DJs in 2 Rooms! at THE CAT CLUB (Folsom and 8th) 21+. 9PM-3AM . $6. Free before 10 http://www.strangelovesf.com _____________________ "In the beginning, there was Kraftwerk" 1974's "Autoban" broke the top-10 charts in Germany, England, and the US, and introduced electro to the world. Since then, their minimalist pop has continued to have a profound impact on more artists and genres than we could possibly name. In 1979, Gary Numan turned away from guitars and embraced the cold new sound of synthesizers (combined with guitar effect pedals). In the span of just 6 months, he released "Replicas" (as Tubeway Army) and "The Pleasure Principle", and created a whole new genre: synth. Since then he has continuously re-invented himself, and in 1994, Gary embraced industrial and darkwave.

Win tickets to see Ohgr, movie passes, and more at Strangelove's Repo! Release Party!

tomasdiablo — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:30:47 GMT

On Friday, November 7th, Strangelove is proud to throw an official release party for REPO! The Genetic Opera - a futuristic tale of horror that fuses Rocky Horror Picture Show with Blade Runner. Contrary to what was previously announced, members of the cast will not be able to attend. But we're making up for that with some incredible prizes for the winners of our COSTUME CONTEST. Dress in your finest goth/dead girl/medical fetish/futuristic ware, and you could be taking home CDs and poster flats autographed by members of the cast, passes to see Repo! at the Lumiere Theatre (California at Polk), or tickets to see OHGR (of Skinny Puppy and Repo!) at Slim's on November 21st! Photos of the winners will be posted on Repo! website, as well as in the Strangelove photo gallery. In the back room, DJs Tomas Diablo and Joe Radio (Death Guild) will be spinning the best Dark Electro, Industrial, New Wave and Goth. And in the front room, Strangelove is thrilled to reunite DJs Fact50 (Debauchery) and Lexor (most recently he filled in for Intoner at the last Death Guild at the Glas Kat). The last time they spun together was at a Strangelove back in December of 2006! Make sure to check out the trailer: www.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/repo/ Strangelove is every first Friday at the CAT CLUB (Folsom and 8th), with different themes and guests every month. There's lots of room to dance and socialize, and if you keep dancing, we keep the party going until 3AM! Drink Special: The Zydrate - Repo! The Genetic Opera is a Victorian Gothic tale of tragedy, greed, corruption and revenge, given the structure of a classical Italian opera and then set in a grim near-future worthy of Blade Runner. Widespread organ failure plagued human society until GeneCo arrived to provide the salvation of financed organ transplants. However, GeneCo retained the right to repossess organs that were defaulted on, paving the way for legal murder by GeneCo-employed "repo men." And the introduction of an addictive surgical painkiller (Zydrate) and massive advertising propaganda ensured that people would continue to receive surgeries, even those they did not need or could not afford them. Repo! The Genetic Opera features Ogre (from Skinny Puppy), Anthony Head (Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton, Paul Sorvino, Alexa Vega (the young cutie from the Spy Kids movies is now 20!), Bill Moseley (who's resume includes Army of Darkness and all of Rob Zombie's films) and writer Terrance Zdunich. - STRANGELOVE Friday, November 7th: An Official Release Party for 'REPO!

Best... Strangelove... EVER!

tomasdiablo — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:04:09 GMT

My head is still reeling from Friday's Strangelove. We had our biggest turnout yet - just under 200 people - for the Skinny Puppy tribute. 200 people is not enough for the Cat Club to feel crowded, so it was pretty comfortable everywhere. People seem to appreciate that I don't have DJs blaring in the front room, and they can escape the sound level and crowd of the dance room and enjoy talking to each other by the front bar. And since we pipe the music through at a lower level, they can still listen and run back if they need to dance to a certain track. I spent much of my time between sets making popcorn and getting it out to both bars. People were devouring it pretty quickly! My guest - DJ Joe Radio from Death Guild - was such a pleasure to work with. He played some amazing mixes, and also stayed until the end of the evening (I give my guests the option to leave at 2 or stick around to play some more music). I also recorded the entire night on an MP3 recorder, and I'll have to see if I can upload that file to strangelovesf.com so people can download it and listen to the last event. Some statistics from the evening - Requests played: 22 Skinny Puppy tracks played: 15 Skinny Puppy side-project tracks played: 5 Bags of popcorn consumed: 8 Goodbye song as the house lights went up: Wayne Newton - Danke Shoen Set list: http://strangelove.tribe.net/thread/0b0616f6-de30-45cb-94cf-c44fdaac2ddf#ae0c636a-7d3c-447b-bcd5-a24b87ee3e28
