Good news and bad news: an official announcement from DJ Jinx

Hi everyone.  I have some good news and bad news for you.  As is usual with such things, I'll give you the two pieces of bad news first:

1. As of the July Chimera this coming week, we will be raising cover for all events that were previously $4 to $5. 
   
   While we have enjoyed over 4 successful years with Chimera, thanks to your patronage, a consequence of that success has been that as the event has grown, we have needed more helpers.  Furthermore, the workload of our volunteers has steadily increased. 
   
   I have therefore decided to convert all my regular volunteers into paid employees.  This is the only reason for raising the cover charge.  We thank you in advance for your understanding.
   


2. Due to low attendance, the Pandaemonium industrial/metal event on the 2nd Wednesday of each month has been cancelled.

Now the good news:

We will be replacing Pandaemonium with a new event called Hydra.  It will take place on what was formerly Pandaemonium's date, i.e. the second Wednesday of every month.  The first one will be on August 11.

Hydra is intended to be a sort of "industrial variety show," where every month we will have at least 3 different DJs and, occasionally, bands.  The schedule of who is playing when will be posted at http://www.angelsofdisruption.com/hydra/ as well as on Facebook, so you will be able to know ahead of time exactly when your favorite band or DJ is likely to be around and what genres they will be playing.

Cover for this event will be $5 when DJs are playing, and in most cases around $8 when bands are playing.

There will be two bands at the August Hydra, namely Promonium Jesters and Nanochrist, so the cover will be $8.  All other details are the same as our other events, i.e. it is at Soda, the show starts at 9 pm, etc.

Promonium Jesters have come to Calgary multiple times in the past, and have said that our city is one of their favorite places to tour, so if you like industrial-rock please come out and support them!  You can check out their music and Nanochrist's here:

If you or someone you know is interested in playing at Hydra, either as a DJ or as a band, please contact DJ Jinx at dj_jinx@angelsofdisruption.com. 

That's all for now.  We hope to see you at Chimera on Thursday, July 29 and/or at Hydra on Wednesday, August 11. 

Thank you as always for your support,

- DJ Jinx
