Mike W (Retro Active) celebrates Sin-Dependence Day at Strangelove

2008-07-01T13:57:48Z

Looking for something to do on the 4th of July? Strangelove's got you covered.

Come celebrate SINDEPENDENCE DAY at Strangelove. Tomas Diablo and guest DJs Mike W (Retro Active) spin the best Dark Electro, Industrial, New Wave, and Goth. The sinsational Black Widows Gothic Strip Revue go-go dance with sparklers. We're giving away gift certificates to Stormy Leather (Howard and 6th) and serving up apple pie - what could be more American? One nation - under Goth.

Strangelove is every first Friday at the CAT CLUB (Folsom and 8th), with different themes and guests every month. There's plenty of room to dance around and if you keep dancing, we keep the party going until 3AM! The DJs play music in the back room, and it's piped through to the front room at a lower volume, giving you the chance to chat at the bar without losing your voice.

Drink Special: the Red, Black and Blue

DJ Skip at Retro Active April 21st

2007-04-21T15:07:45Z

Hello? Anyone home?

I was looking over the sets lists from past events and wondering what you Retro Active-ers might want to hear this Saturday. Since it's my first time, I need to know whether to bring more 80's stuff or new-ish? Or both. Or every song ever recorded.

Requests?

If you like BeGoth dolls...

Retro Active in April

2006-04-14T06:47:55Z

Our next event is April 15th, and our guest DJ will be the super-talented Julian Destrukt from Pop Roxx, playing his power mix of electro and old-school new-wave & industrial.

Since Retro Active is still in its infancy, we would be thrilled if you would help us spread the word and encourage your other East Bay friends to attend.
