http://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/log/2008/07.html#23  Photos are up of Everything Goes Cold (apparently nobody took any photos of the other three bands?), of the Zivity Batman Party, of Hubba Hubba Revue's "Jolly Olde England" show (don't miss their "Benny Hill" video!), and also of Immigrant performing at the final Pop Roxx. It was a great turnout for the last one, because everybody loves a funeral... If we could have gotten that kind of attendance regularly, it wouldn't have stopped! To commemorate the final event, we gave away a bunch of compilation CDs of most of the bands who have played at Pop Roxx over the last two and a half years.  It wasn't all of the bands, because there were too many to fit on an audio CD, so we had to leave a few off. If you didn't manage to pick one up, you can still listen to it as this week's mixtape. This is the "director's cut" of that CD: it's almost the complete set of Pop Roxx bands. It is only missing tracks by three bands (Pretty Vicious, Landshark, and Sunday Drivers), because somehow I managed not to get CDs by those bands, and I wasn't able to track down MP3s in time. We had a lot of great bands at Pop Roxx! I'll miss it. Starting in September, every third Saturday will be a new party called Super Ego. Stay tuned...

http://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/log/2008/07.html#09 Ladies and Gentlemen, Having just spent the last two days in court, I am pleased to announce that in some small number of weeks, DNA Lounge will have exchanged our "ABC Type 48 On Sale General Public Premises" license for an "ABC Type 47 On Sale General Eating Place" license. This means you can expect to see 18-and-over shows here in the very near future! The actual permit is not yet in my hand, and it's not real until that happens, but they tell me it should be within a few weeks. We had been planning for this since I bought the club in April 1999. We started construction on our kitchen in February 2006. And we turned in the application for permit transfer in April 2007. So depending on how you count, this process took either two and a half years, or eight years. And a truly obscene amount of money. But it's done. Details, as they say, To Be Announced.
