Night Vision 2.15

Has there been too much alcohol in our brain's circuits lately to cause some kind of blackout ? You bet !

But that doesn't prevent us from going out, and since we can pretty much bike everywhere and drive drunk without any fear of gettin' stopped by the boys in blue, we haven't left the cold, harsh reality of our suspended driver's licenses and destroyed cars stop us from wandering around.

And that kind of healed our corrupted souls. We now accept the fact that we are on the wrong side of the tracks, and that our day job is just a masquerade to justify & finance our nocturnal activities. And there's a lot of work this week for jaded clubbers and nightlife ho's.


*News en vrac*

Lots of things are coming to an end this week. This section is not just about what begins and what's being created; it's also about calling it quits. On Saturday, it will sadly be the last edition of the Microzoo nights at cozy Café de Lima. Lots of reasons are invoked, but let's not eternally contemplate them and just go there one last time to say goodbye with a bang ! At Alizé, the short-lived Rock n' Wild Mondays will bid their last farewell with a performance by Sean Kosa. The wild boys are telling us that it ain't over 'til it's over, and will soon announce what's next.

French prodigy Joakim, the brains behind the Tigersushi label and such smash hits as "Drumtrax" and "Lonely Hearts", will be at Main Hall on May 4th to perform a DJ set. Brought to you by A Fly is on the Wall, which means of course that Cherry Cola will open.

Also, stay tuned for two mega-events that we can't really announce right now : TVP is cooking up a monstruous Turbo label party at the beginning of May, and the DiskHo boys will soon announce their first guest for the Hi-Tek night at Stereo - believe me, you won't be disappointed !

Without sounding too self-promotional, we can't recommand you enough to check out the HeadzUp! Vs F.A.M.E. event that will go down tonight at Stereobar. Miles Moore will celebrate his birthday among friends & strangers, and the party promises to be hella crazy, with Microzoo's SonOfLeGun and our very own Clifford Brown sharing the decks with the deep house veteran. Only in your wildest dreams could such variety and cool vibes be reunited at the same spot ! Getting in for free is quite easy : drop an email to clifford@mirrorballs.ca before 8 PM tonight, with the complete names of you and the friends you want to be put on the guest list, and that does the trick.



Of course, there's also other pretty big parties happening all over town, among which Mix Thursdays' 2nd anniversary stands tall. Being at Saphir every week for two years in a row without dying of a liver cirrhosis is quite remarkable in itself, but programming the best local DJs the scene has to offer spiced up with quite a few international guests is also the shit ! To mark the occasion, an orgy of tag teams involving Axel Klein, Rhys Taylor, Leo Cruz, Corey K, Poontz and many more is on the menu. Free drinks at midnight !



At Parking's Overdose, our favorite local techno dominatrix gone international, Misstress Barbara, visits her good friend Mini once again. Now signed to James Holden's label Border Community, she has forgotten all about hard tech and is floating in a melodic world. 4/4 flavours tasting good !

Helm Thursdays offer up Jeff Fontaine on a plate, for free. Good deal !

At Rachel Street's Pas-Sages, minimalists reunite to celebrate Deebacc's birthday. Also on the bill will be newcomer D-Outcome and all-around good guy FancyFhreek. No cover !


*27/04*

At Salon Daomé's Fizz Factory night, the special guest this week is Philgood. You know you want to !



At Le Social, the Loose Joints night proposes something very special : Jurassic 5's DJ Numark, along with Scratch Bastid and DJ Illo. The night isn't free this time around, but it's worth the bucks ! The award for cutest flyer of the week goes to this one, of course.


*28/04*

At Café Campus, Canadian industrial legends Frontline Assembly are performing, as well as 16 Volt (!!) and Acumen Nation. For nostalgia, goth lovers and dark souls. If I could, I would !



Bathroom sex never sounded so sexy, but let's keep it safe shall we ? Posing as an HIV / AIDS awareness benefit hoedown, "Come get H.E.A.D." features a strong line-up : Jordan Dare, Mightykat and Hartec. Going down at Academy, it promises to be fun. We, at Mirrorballs, strongly encourage slutty behavior, but be responsible and remember to cover up your protuberances, OK ?

It's time for a last dance at Café de Lima, as Microzoo pulls the plug on their weekly. With a live set by Upbeat and a DJ set by lovely Maus, you can't help but show up and contribute to the mischievous plan known as "going out with a bang".



It's time for another fine edition of Nu Ravers on the Block at Vinyl, and the guest this month is none else than hyperactive DJ Cherry Cola. It's loud, it's cheap, it's out of control, and it's one hell of a party !

At the Mile End Bar's Panorama night, Bender welcomes Arsen for his birthday bash, and some cameras & screens will be installed around the DJ booth so you can see how good the kid can scratch.


*29/04*

At Saphir's Beat me Up, Mary Hell welcomes Omni, godfather of sonic destruction. Omni has been mastering the art of distortion for quite a while now, and if you have yet to be exposed to his over-the-top debauchery, now's the time !


*30/04*

The last edition of Rock n' Wild features none else than Sean Kosa, a red-headed piece of man made from 100% pure grade "A" attitude. The pitchers will fill up, the fists will clench in the air, the beats will match and the innocent will be violated as the night floats by. Get ready for a musical riot and some sweet-ass, sexy hymns.


*01/05*

Telephunk joins forces with Dizzy at Salon Daomé. That means that you can head down there without feeling like you're missing something else a few blocks away.



On the bill, a musical gang bang : Maus, Mightykat, Nathan Burns & Vincent Lemieux. That's a foursome, but what the hell. It still bears a sexual analogy, so we like it anyway ! Represent ! Also : do I need to say that it's a close tie for FLYER OF THE WEEK, so let's just say that we have two winners ! Good art is always a pleasure to look at, so keep 'em coming my friends !


*Next week*

Citizens 6 hit Alizé ! Joakim visits the trendy Main Hall ! Seth Troxler sets foot at l'Appartement ! Bite my Style launches ! And many, many more !

Until then, stick to the menu and eat all you can !
