Steve Aoki + Designer Drugs @ Knitting Factory [June 1]

Steve Aoki + Designer Drugs @ Knitting Factory 2011-06-01

[UPDATE 2011-06-01]  The promoter with Midnite Events announced today that due to circumstances beyond Midnite Event’s control, tonight’s Steve Aoki show at the Knitting Factory Reno has been cancelled, effective immediately.

Electro?  Check.  Bass?  Check.  Drinks in the air?  Check.  Club-bangin’ is their game and Steve Aoki + Designer Drugs is their name … they’re bringin’ their very own brand of booty-shake to the Knitting Factory Concert House in Reno, NV this Wednesday, June 1st and would probably stop the music and straight call you out if you’re not dancin’ your @ss off.

Further support for the evening comes from G.A.M.M.A., Atom O.N.E. and two of Reno’s very own: FM MARC & Erik Lobe.

$23-$80.  All ages.  Get tickets.

Asobi Seksu @ Tonic Lounge [June 1]

Asobi Seksu @ Tonic Lounge 2011-06-01

After running the music section at WomensRadio for the last four and one half years, I’ve become accustomed to having artists pop up out of nowhere and become ‘the next big thing’.  I’ve become even more familiar with the sheer excitement radiating off of these types of bands and everything surrounding them; including their representation, fans and press, which all combine to become the major catalyst in igniting the fuse which sends them into orbit.

Asobi Seksu.  If I said it out loud I’d more than likely mispronounce it, but all tongue twisters aside this is a show not to be missed … especially if you are one to enjoy that which might include classification as ‘shoegaze’ or rock music with that ‘indie pop’ vibe.  It’s pretty delicious.

Where’s it at?  Tonic Lounge in Reno, NV.  Opening group you ask?  See: Grimes.

$10.  21+.  Get tickets.
