What happened to the last month?

Since our last post was almost a month ago it might take a moment to recap...

• Shameless teamed up with Decibel to throw back to back afterparties. The first one at the Clubhouse was only for the hardcore since it took place nye eve (aka the 30th). Kilowatts was our special surprise guest and locals Adlib (P.O.E.), Andrew Luck & Nordic Soul all tore it up. As you can see below our photograper Dave Matthews was having fun with double exposure. Click on the picture to see more!

• The second afterparty for nye almost never happened. At 4:15pm on nye, Shameless HQ got the call from the venue renter who sadly reported that his space wasn't not an option anoymore. Since we were all still waking up from the night before, we sat around asking ourselves what we should do. Here's the dilemma... both John Tejada and Alex Smoke are in town and want to play our afterparty. So we decided to shoot a text message out into the dark and our good friend offered to open up his loft space for our party. About six hours later after lugging speakers across the city, we're cracking open a beer and toasting the new year with our friends while Tejada lays down an incredibly deep and beautiful set until 3:30am when Smoke takes over. An amazing night rose from the ashes of a party that got canceled last minute. With humilty and thankfulness for the strength of the local electronic music community, we here at Shameless considered our good fortunes as 2009 got underway.

• On January 16th, Broken Disco returned with a vengence... Chop Suey installed a new sound system that helped stepped things up in the main room and we brought in a KV2 system for the Make Out Lounge. Yes we are sound snobs. Get over it! It seemed Frivolous and the Martin Brothers appreciated it too. Everyone that played stepped up their game. Thanks to everyone that came out!! WE *HEART* BROKEN DISCO! Check out the pictures by clicking below...

• Speaking of pictures, Sparks Fountain (aka Recess & Kadeejah Streets getting ridiculous behind the decks) made another appearance recently at Produkt's monthly event entitled Analog. Armed with about 15 mexican wrestling masks, a fog machine and a slew filthy bass jams they proceeded to pack the dancefloor while their tongues were painted orange from the frothy beverage (RIP Sparks). More pictures below...

• Lastly... make sure you mark Feb 2oth on your calanders. Broken Disco is coming again!!

**WARRIORS THEMED COSTUME PARTY!**

Warriors, come out to play-ay! In the spirit of tough journeys, Coney Island homecomings, and keeping away from those that would hold you down, October’s edition of Balls Out! encourages costumes of the gritty, gang-filled Gotham sort. In addition to Wonder Wheel memories and sexy leather vests, this month’s show features top-notch Live Performances from 2 of Seattle’s most talented producers. Incite! aka Nordic Soul aka Sean Horton aka Mr. Decibel will bring out a heated electronic dance set. Also, prepare to be blown away by dark horse entry, AJ Spider Sorbello. Expect a filthy, electro-bass set from this local.

The Balls Out! crew has lots of great tricks and treats in store for this month. In addition to blistering live sets from Incite! and AJ Spider Sorbello, resident DJ sets from Recess and NAHA, this month’s features custom costumes by Babe of Belltown (Match Game), a Studio 75 Exclusive Fashion Show by Capitol Hill fashion icon Sir Rayven Blakk, Live Art by Kinoko of Fourthcity and Eli Heuer with Special Guest Artist Rondo (http://rondogoon.blogspot.com/). Of course we’ll have extra sound support by Shameless, with hosts Menami and MC Anton Bomb and photographs by DaveMatthewsPhoto.com.

Balls Out! is a new monthly event that joins the forces of Shameless, NAHA Army, Fourthcity and many of our supportive and gifted friends at dance-friendly venue and favorite, the Re-Bar. Can you Balls Out?

**MUSIC**

Incite! (Live - Decibel)

http://www.myspace.com/nordicsoul

You may have heard of him before. He throws this little annual party called Decibel Festival. We booked him because his live sets as Incite! are bad ass. Some of you already know that after catching him at Sole Repair last Thursday. We're looking forward to hearing him tear it up without the stress and worries of a massive event. Just some live kicking techno beats at everyone's favorite local venue, the Rebar.


Aj Spider Sorbello (Live)

Lately much of his time as been spent in the studio producing his own tracks which range across the spectrum of dance music genres. Although he DJs and produces multiple genres you can hear the quality in all of his tracks. Click the link above and check out some of them on myspace.
