Klub Nocturno presents Darkwave Night Alex's Bar Long Beach October 17, 2024

Attention, Long Beach pals! I’m back at Alex’s Bar on Thursday, October 17, when Klub Nocturno presents Darkwave Night. There’s no cover, so come down and dance to your faves from bands like The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Boy Harsher, French Police, Ultra Sunn, Lebanon Hanover and loads more. This is a 21+ event and the party starts at 9 p.m. Alex’s Bar is located at 2913 E. Anaheim St., Long Beach 90804. See you Thursday night. 

In other news tickets are running low for Club Underground’s Halloween party on Friday, October 25, so click here to get yours now. Larry G., Malvada, Jesse B. and I are going to be on the decks and it will be a good time. The night before that, Thursday, October 24, I’ll be playing Olya Sonica’s Record Release party at Hotel Ziggy. Olya Sonica, The Dirty Shirts and Veronica Bianqui play live. I’ll be spinning Brit Pop and rock classics. Tickets are available now, so click here to get yours on Dice. 

As for the rest of this week and early next week, check out the list below for some very reasonably priced events. It’s pretty heavy on movie screenings on account of October being a very good month for those.
