STAY feat. Bang Gang DJs
Avalon l $25
Nov 2, 10pm
Australia’s Modular Recordings stable of cutting-edge and inventive artists, DJs and producers are some of the most sought-after around. This includes the Bang Gang DJs -a group of six or more DJs depending on their tour schedule and mood.
The last time they came around Doom and Hoodrat made a mess of the dancefloor (in a good way) with their favourable indie-disco, electro, techno and house selections.
This time, Hoodrat will hold solo court. A similar type of riot is speculated to ensue at Avalon’s staple mid-week party, STAY.
Local indie dance queen Ginette Chittick opens the night.
