RSVP IS CLOSED FOR THE BEER BUT TICKETS ARE STILL ON SALE!!!
SEE YOU AT THE SHOW.
Mr. Roboto Presents brings you the danciest line-up of the New Year...and SonicLiving's gonna fuel your moves.
ALL BEER- DRAFT AND BOTTLE! From 8:30-9:30, as drink tickets last!!
DJ Vin Sol will get us warmed up. We don't want you to miss these openers so we're gonna give you beer between 8:30 and 9:30 when you RSVP!
Pitchfork says these Kids are the sound of the future, and Rolling Stone and Spin made them a band to watch. So check out The Cool Kids before they're too famous for you to get a ticket.
Rolling Stone says of The Cool Kids:
"From their rope chains to their spare, bass-heavy beats, Chuck and Mikey bring a knowing wink to the style of Eighties heroes like Eric B and EPMD. Their anthem, "88," cops a mantra from Nas' "Made You Look": "Do the Smurf, do the wop, baseball bat/Rooftop like I'm bringin' '88 back." And yet on singles like "I Rock" and "Black Mags," the duo sounds effortlessly of-the-moment, earning its boast of being "the black Beastie Boys."
These kids put on a great live show and if you don't like the music, you can come for the jackets and jewelry alone.
And don't forget to add The Cool Kids to your Wishlist so you can see them the next time around!!

As you can see this is no longer a Rogue Wave show and it is now free as well. Rogue Wave has been indefinitely postponed.
Per TicketWeb:
We're sorry to announce that, due to an injury, the D.A. Taylor benefit show has been postponed. Please see the note from Zach Rogue below for more info.
Hang onto your tickets as they will be valid for a rescheduled date to be announced over the coming weeks. Otherwise, you may request a refund from place of purchase.
In lieu of the benefit The Independent will be holding a free show this Friday night. “The Recession Proof Party” features local favorites minipop, Birds & Batteries, The Botticellis and Vin Sol.
“hey guys: to those of you beautiful people who bought tickets to the benefit show at the independent on 11/7, i am sad to say we have to postpone the show until ‘09. i badly injured my neck and arm in september and it is looking as though i may need surgery to try to fix the problem. this means i will be out of commission for at least the rest of the year.
hopefully, i will be back in fighting shape in the new year and ready to make it up to you. please take care of yourselves. we will be back, i promise.
see you in '09,
zach rogue (rogue wave)”
