turns out a massive h-town crew is heading to the G&D show this friday, so the brit and i are jetting down* to join in the messiness. gabriel & dresden have been banging out MASSIVE sets lately -- i'm certain they won't disappoint.

who's in?

and to the locals -- what's bar rio like?









* don't fret, steve, we'll be back in time for your gig

Not worried about that. Just can't believe that you are going to miss A&B to go to the Barrio (sorry Nathan, had to steal it)

in the ghetto side of town. i went there for a reggaeton party (of course, that would bring the ghetto of all ghetto's out from h-town) and it was a mess. too many cadillacs in deep need of dynomat.

I think with Gab/Dres there will be less of this. Hopefully the normal folks will indeed swarm the place.

The club is pretty cool overall.

how are things like the layout, bar prices, and parking? any chance of comparing them to places like m-bar, warehouse, or eden?

more importantly -- are you going to the show?

definitly not m-bar or warehouse. havent been to eden yet but i see the place every once in a while. Parking is decent. I didnt get charged for the reggaeton party but one of my friends went up there on a saturday night and paid $5...so i dont know about this friday as far as parking. Bar prices, i have to say are a little too high for the kind of bartenders they have there. Some of those guys dont even know where they keep the beer. During the reggaeton bash i got a beer and it was a little warm. There are a number of bartenders though, so hopefully that changes.

Layout its pretty nice i must say. Especially for a Gab/Dres show I think they actually did good in choosing the venue. I'd rather do Planeta than warehouse anyday for trance.

THIS JUST IN:::
I'm going to the show with my friend Javier. See ya'll there!

AHHAHAHA!!! YES!!! Finally get to meet the Dirk!

btw, i havent seen these guys live either. I hope they kick ass, like nicole says they have been

Expect this on Friday Nicole:

already going for most-consecutive-posts-in-a-single-thread award?

G&D live. it's almost not fair to compare their shows cause each is different, depending on the guys' moods and the crowd's response. i heard their last gig at sky wasn't up to par, but i can vouch that the two days immediately following [boston/chicago] were the best two sets i've ever heard from them. here's the set from RISE in boston. their style's definitely migrated away from emo trance and towards dirty electro.

and i can't praise them enough about their last set @ vision chicago -- legendary. here are some videos and pics from the show. sorry for the crap audio, but you get the idea.
