BALLS OUT! Series 3
Friday October 10th @ Rebar

**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)

http://www.myspace.com/ajspidersorbello
AJ Spider Sorbello was born in Sacramento, California. After attending his first underground event at age 11, AJ had found himself in a life changing experience. By 15 he was already DJing at numerous underground events. From 2001 on he's been DJing regularly with world class talent at massive events. 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.
We really looking forward to hearing what he puts together for his debut live set at Balls Out!

Plus Residents Recess & Naha

Decibel Festival: bRave New World - 9/27

So as everyone in Seattle already knows, once a year we get treated to what's becoming one of the world's best electronic music festivals. This year will be the 5th annual and we here at Shameless are thrilled to be involved once again. For the 1st 4 years we've thrown the official Decibel Festival afterparties. This year we'll be passing along the afterparty productions to some other local crews and instead teaming up with Antarctic Records to present bRave New World at Chop Suey on Sept 27th. Headlining are LA Riots and 33hz (Live). Both will keep the kids bRaving til the lights come up. Two rooms of music! Click the images below for more information...

Pictures from Balls Out! Series 2 w/ A1 Bassline

Had a blast last Friday with A1 Bassline making his Seattle debut. The dude is mad talented and I think we're just seeing the beginnings of a bright future. Also, finally got to smash that disco ball pinata that Sean Williams and Menami put together this past summer. Thanks again to the Balls Out crew for holding everything down. Thanks also to everyone that came out to get down. Click the picture below to see more!

Also, get ready for Balls Out! Series 3... "Warriors...come out to plaaaaayeee!"

Pictures & video from Balls Out! Series 1

So we had Levi Clark's 'Dunk the Hipster' tank outside, Shameless warriors returning to the Rebar, Naha Army joining the campaign and a bad ass DJ/Producer (aka AC Slater!) flying in from Brooklyn to bass the place out. Yet it was August and in Seattle August usually means it's time for BBQs, camping, trips to the ocean or preparation for a week in Nevada's desert. For most club promoters August is a death trap. It's the one month out of the year that even big name headliners sometimes have a hard time pulling the heads out. Yet on 08-08-08 Seattle represented BIG by catching onto the unpretentious spirit of Balls Out! and helped make our first in a series of monthly events one to remember.

As always there are a ton of people to thank. Rev. Killjoy who represents both Shameless and a new start up silk screen printing company called Beach Balls of Death (BBoD) brought it on many levels with his original drawings that combined mad ball imagery on post apopcalyptic hipster bodies. Be sure to look out for BBoD in the near future! Kinoko (Fourthcity), Eli and Marianne introduced a new level of live art to the party scene by deftly creating portraits on the fly while the beat pounded on the dance floor. Menami, Anton Bomb and friends always help make everyone feel welcome and once again proved themselves as some of the best party hosts in town. Seanny, Cara, Luying, and Eric all looked fabulous while holding down door duties. Thanks to Luvshack for getting the extra Shameless sound there and back. It sounded sooooo good in there! Swank surprised us by showing up and immediately pitched in to help out in any way that he could. We also have to give a shout to the Rebar staff for being so supportive. Not only did they let us keep the party going past 2am, but when we showed up early in the night one of the bartenders had made Mad Ball t-shirts for all of the staff. Also, much love goes out to Will and Devin for revealing their inner hipster and taking one (or two or three...) for the team!

Mostly thanks to everyone that came out to dance and have a good time. The support from our community has been amazing. We love you Seattle!
