Headlining this event will be a joint set between Nicolay (keyboard & synthesizers) and The Hot At Nights featuring new interpretations and arrangements of eight instrumental compositions from Nicolay's 2009 album "City Lights Vol. 2: Shibuya" as well as other compositions from Nicolay's catalog. TheForeignExchangeMusic.com/ShibuyaSession ䷀䷀䷀䷀ NICOLAY bio ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Grammy-nominated music producer/performer Nicolay was born and raised in The Netherlands. He played various instruments in various bands and got a formal music education before focusing on the production side of the music making process. Around 2002, Nicolay met rapper/singer-songwriter Phonte (of Little Brother) on the Okayplayer message boards. They struck up a partnership under the name The Foreign Exchange and released their critically acclaimed debut album Connected, which was completed solely through the use of the internet, in 2004. The success of Connected enabled Nicolay to move to the United States and further pursue his career in music. The Foreign Exchange's sophomore album, Leave It All Behind (2008), was even more successful, culminating in the Grammy nomination for the album's first single, "Daykeeper". http://www.twitter.com/NicolayMusic http://www.facebook.com/NicolayMusic ䷀䷀䷀䷀ THE HOT AT NIGHTS bio ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Says one Carolina newbie to one Carolina native, “Dang! I knew it would be hot in the Summer down here, but I had no idea that it would get even hotter at night!!” Meteorologically speaking, there is a scientific explanation for this phenomenon. But as far as the Raleigh-based exploratory jazz trio called The Hot at Nights, there is no explanation for them. 8-string guitarist Chris Boerner leads the group, with Matt Douglas on sax/woodwinds and Nick Baglio on drums. The group melted together in Boerner’s studio over the many sweltering evenings of Summer, 2010. Though largely improvisational, the group’s compositions pull from contemporary songwriters, classic funk, pop, rock, and of course the electric avant garde stylings that have spanned the last 30 years of contemporary jazz. Complex rhythms can quickly transform into head-bobbing groove fare. Simple melodies coaxed by all three players can explode into cacophonous meteor showers at the drop of a dime. Their limits go as high as the stratosphere and deep into the Earth’s mantle. Both of which keep them sweating… even after the sun goes down. http://www.twitter.com/TheHotAtNights http://www.facebook.com/TheHotAtNights ䷀䷀䷀䷀ MORE INFO ䷀䷀䷀䷀ http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom http://www.houseofloom.com/mailing-list/ http://twitter.com/#!/thehouseofloom LOCATION: URL:http://www.houseofloom.com/event/nicolay-of-foreign-exchange-wthe-hot-at-nights/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20120527 DTEND:20120528 DTSTAMP:20120519T062509 CREATED:20120515T195949 LAST-MODIFIED:20120515T195949 UID:36907@http://www.houseofloom.com SUMMARY:loom Weaves MJ vs Prince DESCRIPTION:⏏⏏ loom & House of Loom present ... ⏏⏏ ⏏⏏ loom Weaves MJ vs Prince on Memorial Day Eve ⏏⏏ ⏏ Come to Dance / Celebrate Diversity ⏏ Music selections by Brent Crampton & G3 Early arrival is highly suggested! ⏏⏏⏏⏏ MJ vs Prince ⏏⏏⏏⏏ On the Sunday before Memorial Day eve, we figured the best way to throw an insane party would be to bring back our MJ vs Prince theme.

But what we do take seriously is that each artist has had an immense contribution to not only our culture, but most likely has been the soundtrack to many moments in our lives. And that's what we're celebrating on this night. We'll have Brent Crampton representing MJ while Omaha's biggest Prince enthusiast, G3 covers all the Prince essentials.

The frivolously themed dance party came out with a roar, churning out a new and fresh party scene. Goo was the catalystic-glue in Omaha that solidified a new generation of dancers. Founders Derek Pressnall (of the bands Tilly & The Wall, Flowers Forever, Icky Blossons) along with Todd Fink & Jacob Thiele (of The Faint & Depressed Buttons) threw parties that were completely focused on fun. No ego to the DJs skills, no telling what random corner of forgotten pop music they’d throw down, and definitely no telling what off-the-wall theme, decor and theatrics they’d manifest. Having thrown sporadic parties here and there for the past few years, Goo is now back and revitalized in a intimate 21+ setting every fourth-Friday of the month at House of Loom. ☰☰☰☰ More info: ☰☰☰☰ http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom http://www.facebook.com/goodanse www.houseofloom.com/mailing-list LOCATION:1012 s. 10th st.

The frivolously themed dance party came out with a roar, churning out a new and fresh party scene. Goo was the catalystic-glue in Omaha that solidified a new generation of dancers. Founders Derek Pressnall (of the bands Tilly & The Wall, Flowers Forever, Icky Blossons) along with Todd Fink & Jacob Thiele (of The Faint & Depressed Buttons) threw parties that were completely focused on fun. No ego to the DJs skills, no telling what random corner of forgotten pop music they’d throw down, and definitely no telling what off-the-wall theme, decor and theatrics they’d manifest. Having thrown sporadic parties here and there for the past few years, Goo is now back and revitalized in a intimate 21+ setting every fourth-Friday of the month at House of Loom. ☰☰☰☰ More info: ☰☰☰☰ http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom http://www.facebook.com/goodanse www.houseofloom.com/mailing-list LOCATION:1012 s. 10th st.

Apart from collaborating with a number of bands throughout the years, the past handful of years has seem him on a solo/collaborative project known as FATHR^. Past collaborators with FATHR^ have included: James Cuato, Dapose (The Faint, Vverevvolf Grehv), Clark Baechle (The Faint, Depressed Buttons), Seth Johnson (Carnal Torpor), Todd Fink (The Faint, Depressed Buttons), Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes/Mystic Valley Band), Jonathan Tvrdik (Back When, Idomeno King), Jacob Thiele (The Faint, Depressed Buttons), Jamie Montes (Flamboyant Gods).

The trained rock musician and seasoned signee traded in his strings and drumsticks for laptop keys after a self introduction to electronic production in 2011. :Dface was branded after he unabashedly fell for the underground Moombahton movement, and broke through the grapevine getting instant attention from established names in the genre. Signing with Rot10Musik after just two months of production and linking up with the likes of Sazon Booya, :Dface saw immediate support and a swift jump from casual production to the #15 spot on Beatport's Top 100 Electro House Releases chart with his "Mean Mug EP". :DFace's new "No Stopping EP" is out everywhere on March 26th! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Kid Cedek http://soundcloud.com/kidcedek :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: An Atlanta DJ & producer, recently Cedek has been booked to play the entirety of the 2010 Vans Warped Tour, SXSW, A3C Festival, Identity Festival, DJ Expo, One Music Festival & showcases during Ultra Music Festival in Miami. Through these opportunities Cedek has gained several sponsors, ranging from clothing to pro audio. From being featured on world renowned blogs, having a #1 song on HYPEM, remixes charting internationally, constant play on internationally known BBC RADIO 1, to even front page posts on Mad Decent, Ear Milk, Vibe, & Urb.com; Cedek has proven to the masses that his original DJing & production style is in high demand in his hometown and around the world. Cedek is what most consider to be an "open format" DJ, but If he was placed in a category we'd say he is a "Party Rock." Kid Cedek was a dancer for years before he decided to take on his career as a DJ/Producer, and it is apparent when he sits behind the booth as he seamlessly blends different styles of music during his live sets. Cedek produces a wide range of tunes from Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Baltimore Club, Moombahton, to Disco House & Electro under a variety of alias'. Cedek plays what he likes to get the party hype, introducing it to a crowd in way they have never heard it before :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Brent Tactic http://soundcloud.com/brent_tactic :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: A solid decade of dominance can't be wrong. Such is the case for Kansas CIty DJ and producer Brent Tactic, who in bridging the space where the underground storms the mainstream has successfully kept dance floors filled nationwide. Independent hip hop was the starting point for the Midwest native. Success in that realm mirrors his work now, as between DJing and running an independent label, he's established solid roots in the game. Blog fanatics and close followers of indie dance likely know Brent Tactic from his "Tactic" tandem with Ben Tactic (Fuller). The duo first paired in 2002, a common creative ground found in a now pop trending style ignoring genre boundaries. Four turntable DJ sets blurred the line between hip-hop, electro and bass-heavy club music, while their production chops earned them plays on NYC’s East Village Radio, London’s KISS FM and BBC Radio1 plus spins in the sets of Diplo, Sinden, Tittsworth, Starkey, Jackmaster, Dave Nada, Cosmo Baker and Eli Escobar. With remixes and original tracks released on labels such as Mad Decent, Dress 2 Sweat (Numbers), Starkey's label Slit Jockey, Palms Out Sounds, Get Flavor and Datura Records, Brent's continuing success is a story of advancing expectations. Rising tropical bass by way of pitched down house genre moombahton may be where Brent Tactic gains the international legacy. Started with Ben Tactic, his Think 2wice Records is a respected early leader in the sound, top Beatport charting releases Star Time from Arizona kingpin DJ Melo and The Last Don from East Coast heavyweight Jon Kwest as only a sign of things to come. Tactic's own blend of funk and soul informed by traditional Latin melodies taps into his hip hop past, and has found space in sets and key cosigns of top moombahton stars Nadastrom, Munchi, David Heartbreak and Sabo. Furthermore, his voluminous background as a well respected producer and label boss has assisted Kansas City's local party scene to quickly ascend to the top of the list for national dance insiders. ䷀䷀䷀䷀ More Info ䷀䷀䷀䷀ http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom http://www.houseofloom.com/mailing-list/ http://twitter.com/#!/thehouseofloom LOCATION: URL:http://www.houseofloom.com/event/no-stopping-tour-omaha-feat-dface-kid-cedek-brent-tactic/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20120429 DTEND:20120430 DTSTAMP:20120519T062510 CREATED:20120327T112944 LAST-MODIFIED:20120420T145422 UID:36758@http://www.houseofloom.com SUMMARY:Son Del Llano CD Release DESCRIPTION:House of Loom presents the Sunday Live Series … !!!!!!!!!!! SON DEL LLANO CD RELEASE !!!!!!!!!!! Live Cuan and Latin music from Lincoln ... Announcing the release of the Son del Llano debut album "Recordando Los Maestros"! This labor of love offers a broad array of dance favorites from the band's repertoire. The Lincoln Journal-Star calls it "a terrific-sounding set of Cuban/Latin music that brims with passion, energy, and talent." Son del Llano proudly revives the classic sounds of Havana, Puerto Rico, and New York with a sizzling blend of salsa, mambo, and Latin Jazz. The group originated in Lincoln, Nebraska in 2006. Original members René Paula (trés, vocals), Marcelo Arévalo (congas, vocals) and Justin G. Jones (timbales, vocals) pooled their musical experience and love of Latin music to create a sound unique to Nebraska and the Midwest: a traditional Cuban son conjunto. Veteran musicians Brian Morrow (bass), Mike Brownson (trumpet), Tom Harvill (piano), and Ed Love (woodwinds, percussion) completed the lineup. The group was soon highly popular with area music lovers and serious dancers alike. Upon René's departure from the group, Son del Llano broadened their sound to include the classic salsa and mambo sounds of New York and Puerto Rico, and Latin Jazz arrangements performed expertly by the band, all of whom also have deep jazz roots. Dedicated to quality in performance and enjoyment on the dance floor, Son del Llano continues to bring the sounds of Cuba and Latin America to Nebraska and the Midwest. ¡Para gozar la musica! The CD is available at the Zoo Bar, 136 N. 14th (open after 3 PM Mon-Sat and after 5 PM Sun), or at any of our live shows. ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Sunday Live Series ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Each week we invite local and touring bands to perform.

The frivolously themed dance party came out with a roar, churning out a new and fresh party scene. Goo was the catalystic-glue in Omaha that solidified a new generation of dancers. Founders Derek Pressnall (of the bands Tilly & The Wall, Flowers Forever, Icky Blossons) along with Todd Fink & Jacob Thiele (of The Faint & Depressed Buttons) threw parties that were completely focused on fun. No ego to the DJs skills, no telling what random corner of forgotten pop music they’d throw down, and definitely no telling what off-the-wall theme, decor and theatrics they’d manifest. Having thrown sporadic parties here and there for the past few years, Goo is now back and revitalized in a intimate 21+ setting every fourth-Friday of the month at House of Loom. ☰☰☰☰ More info: ☰☰☰☰ http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom http://www.facebook.com/goodanse www.houseofloom.com/mailing-list Every 4th Friday of the month ...

Good Speakers will encourage all forms of creativity and expression, but will usually focus on music, and of course, dance. 10 pm - 2 am / Free / 21+ ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Bad Speler ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Bad Speler is an up and coming producer/dj from Lincoln, NE. Originally inspired by the heavy, glitchy sounds of Breakcore and IDM, Darren Keen, also known as the brains behind The Show is the Rainbow, began making live, brutal "mixtapes." These crude, and nearly unlistenable recordings somehow caught the ear of the taste-making Illegal Art record label, known most for releasing Girl Talk, Steinski and other forward thinking electronic musicians. After a recent European tour, Keen realized that many of the sounds found in his favorite, bizarre, dancefloor shaking European club tracks, were the same sounds he was comfortable using. He spent a while hanging out with local dj gurus, learning about frequencies, beats and builds. The results have been extremely exciting. Try and think about Mr. Oizo and Machine Drum making hyper rap beats. And since Bad Speler releases a new single on Illegal Art every week, you can hear a new gem from this intelligent club music pioneer every Thursday for free! ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Kobrakyle ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Kobrakyle is a genre bending DJ from Omaha. Like all the best musicians, he worked at a record store for a really long time and left way too much of his paycheck in the register. Omaha's answer to James Murphy, Kobrakyle pays homage to classic, timeless music, by giving it a fresh, modern feel. Good Speakers is the perfect event for this Gunk Co-Creator to flex a more serious musical muscle, seamlessly weaving dance music with undeniable classic tunes, with his signature live mashup touches here and there! ䷀䷀䷀䷀ MORE INFO ䷀䷀䷀䷀ http://www.facebook.com/badspeler http://illegal-art.net/badspeler/ http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom http://www.houseofloom.com/mailing-list/ http://twitter.com/#!/thehouseofloom LOCATION: URL:http://www.houseofloom.com/event/good-speakers-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20120328 DTEND:20120329 DTSTAMP:20120519T062510 CREATED:20120311T190400 LAST-MODIFIED:20120311T190400 UID:36728@http://www.houseofloom.com SUMMARY:Soup 'n Cinema Celebrates Women's History Month DESCRIPTION:House of Loom’s Soup n Cinema Celebrates Women's History Month //// Every Wednesday in March / 6-10pm / FREE //// Four not-for-profit groups and organizations are partnering with House of Loom to present four films celebrating women in the arts for 2012’s Women’s History Month, each Wednesday in March, for FREE including soup, with in-kind donations encouraged for Lydia House for Women and Children in Omaha (women's toiletries, baby items).

A riveting documentary by Academy Award-winning producer Pamela Tanner Boll (Born Into Brothels), features five bold women who navigate some of the most problematic intersections of our time: parenting and creativity, partnering and independence, economics and art. Through their lives Tanner Boll explores what it means to nurture children and family, and keep the creative fire burning within. Whodoesshethinksheis.net Desk Set Takes place at the "Federal Broadcasting Network."

Unfortunately, however, Sumner is ordered to keep his mission secret. As a result, the whole staff believes they are being replaced. To make matters worse, there appears to be more than a little electricity between Bunny and Sumner, which upsets Bunny?s boyfriend Mike (Gig Young).

Whodoesshethinksheis.net Desk Set Takes place at the "Federal Broadcasting Network." Bunny Watson (Katharine Hepburn) heads up the research department at the Federal Broadcasting Company, a major TV network. And she does her job very well, thank you very much. Assigned by the network president to introduce computers into some of the department?s functions, Richard Sumner (Spencer Tracy) arrives at Bunny?s well-run division to observe daily activities. Unfortunately, however, Sumner is ordered to keep his mission secret. As a result, the whole staff believes they are being replaced.

Good Speakers will encourage all forms of creativity and expression, but will usually focus on music, and of course, dance. 10 pm - 2 am / Free / 21+ ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Bad Speler ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Bad Speler is an up and coming producer/dj from Lincoln, NE. Originally inspired by the heavy, glitchy sounds of Breakcore and IDM, Darren Keen, also known as the brains behind The Show is the Rainbow, began making live, brutal "mixtapes." These crude, and nearly unlistenable recordings somehow caught the ear of the taste-making Illegal Art record label, known most for releasing Girl Talk, Steinski and other forward thinking electronic musicians. After a recent European tour, Keen realized that many of the sounds found in his favorite, bizarre, dancefloor shaking European club tracks, were the same sounds he was comfortable using. He spent a while hanging out with local dj gurus, learning about frequencies, beats and builds. The results have been extremely exciting. Try and think about Mr. Oizo and Machine Drum making hyper rap beats. And since Bad Speler releases a new single on Illegal Art every week, you can hear a new gem from this intelligent club music pioneer every Thursday for free! ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Kobrakyle ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Kobrakyle is a genre bending DJ from Omaha. Like all the best musicians, he worked at a record store for a really long time and left way too much of his paycheck in the register. Omaha's answer to James Murphy, Kobrakyle pays homage to classic, timeless music, by giving it a fresh, modern feel. Good Speakers is the perfect event for this Gunk Co-Creator to flex a more serious musical muscle, seamlessly weaving dance music with undeniable classic tunes, with his signature live mashup touches here and there! ䷀䷀䷀䷀ MORE INFO ䷀䷀䷀䷀ http://www.facebook.com/badspeler http://illegal-art.net/badspeler/ http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom http://www.houseofloom.com/mailing-list/ http://twitter.com/#!/thehouseofloom LOCATION:1012 s. 10th st.

Opening set by Brent Crampton ------- 10pm-2am / $5 / 21+ / 1012 s 10 st ------- DOWNLOAD FREE MUSIC FROM SABO http://soundcloud.com/djsabo ䷀䷀䷀䷀ DJ SABO BIO ䷀䷀䷀䷀ In 2010, SABO became one of the pioneering producers for a new genre called moombahton. He established the party Moombahton Massive with the genre's creator Dave Nada and has released half a dozen free download EPs by the same name that have helped shape the direction of the genre. SABO's "funky music to make you feel good" signature has landed him as URB's "Next 100" back in 2006 alongside being featured or mentioned in Rolling Stone, The Fader, XLR8R, Generation Bass, Frank 151, Groovailizacion, Mundovibe, RE:UP and Ghetto BassQuake. A native of New York City and a recent LA transplant, SABO's time in NYC garnered a large resume. He taught at the Scratch DJ Academy, managed the staple record store, Turntable Lab and gained residency at Turntables on the Hudson, Bembe, The Standard Hotel, Nublu and more. He's performed alongside Yerba Buena, Brazilian Girls, Antibalas, The Pimps of Joytime, Forro in the Dark, Chico Mann, Si*Se, The Herbaliser, and Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra. As a producer SABO established his own independent label, Sol*Selectas, where he has released 15 Eps, two 12" EPs on DJ Nickodemus' Wonderwheel Recordings, a 6 song EP on nu-cumbia label Bersa Discos, and a full album co-produced by Zeb, called "Global Warmbeats" on Irma Records 2008. He has remixed tracks for artists and DJs Dennis Ferrer, Daniel Haaksman, J-Boogie, Nickodemus, The Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra, Los Monos, Pacha Massive Sound System, Balkan Beat Box, Los Empresarios, and DJ Sun. ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Tropical Bass ䷀䷀䷀䷀ Tropical Bass is dedicated to the new-ish emerging sounds that can loosely be put under the umbrella of "Tropical Bass." We're talking genres such as the slowed-down house & reggaeton drum-pattern infused moombahton (moom-bah-tone), the underground breed of cumbia thanks to labels like Bersa Discos, Brazil's favela (ghetto) music ala Baile Funk, the aptly titled tropical house and of course bass heavy Dancehall.

The frivolously themed dance party came out with a roar, churning out a new and fresh party scene. Goo was the catalystic-glue in Omaha that solidified a new generation of dancers. Founders Derek Pressnall (of the bands Tilly & The Wall, Flowers Forever, Icky Blossons) along with Todd Fink & Jacob Thiele (of The Faint & Depressed Buttons) threw parties that were completely focused on fun. No ego to the DJs skills, no telling what random corner of forgotten pop music they’d throw down, and definitely no telling what off-the-wall theme, decor and theatrics they’d manifest. Having thrown sporadic parties here and there for the past few years, Goo is now back and revitalized in a intimate 21+ setting every fourth-Friday of the month at House of Loom. ☰☰☰☰ More info: ☰☰☰☰ http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom http://www.facebook.com/goodanse www.houseofloom.com/mailing-list LOCATION:1012 s. 10th st.

A riveting documentary by Academy Award-winning producer Pamela Tanner Boll (Born Into Brothels), features five bold women who navigate some of the most problematic intersections of our time: parenting and creativity, partnering and independence, economics and art. Through their lives Tanner Boll explores what it means to nurture children and family, and keep the creative fire burning within. Whodoesshethinksheis.net Desk Set Takes place at the "Federal Broadcasting Network." Bunny Watson (Katharine Hepburn) heads up the research department at the Federal Broadcasting Company, a major TV network. And she does her job very well, thank you very much. Assigned by the network president to introduce computers into some of the department?s functions, Richard Sumner (Spencer Tracy) arrives at Bunny?s well-run division to observe daily activities. Unfortunately, however, Sumner is ordered to keep his mission secret. As a result, the whole staff believes they are being replaced. To make matters worse, there appears to be more than a little electricity between Bunny and Sumner, which upsets Bunny?s boyfriend Mike (Gig Young). As the tension mounts in the office, so do the laughs in this classic romantic comedy.

An art installation titled Move Slowly by Ying Zhu Celebrating Zhu's recent award: Best New Media Artist in the Omaha Entertainment & Arts Awards While House of Loom has limitations as a traditional gallery, this is exactly what makes this show special.

Ying Zhu uses sculpture and installation, often using text and language, to create works that bridge cultures. A former Bemis Artist in Residence and native of China, Zhu's become a full-time artist working with sculptures and installations, turning household materials like eggshell and paper into abstract explorations of culture. In conjunct with Dushan Creative, this is the first Omaha First Friday art showing on behalf of House of Loom in a seasonal series. 6-10 pm / 1012 S 10 St ----Omaha First Friday WRAP Party to follow---- Join Ying Zhu in a live art project at the WRAP party.

PLUS loom will be giving away gift bags to the first 30 people through the door, including the new t-shirt, mix CD by Brent Crampton, year book and more. Opening and closing sets from loom resident DJs ---------DJ Spinna Bio--------- DJ Spinna is an anomaly in music. From his roots in funk, soul, jazz to his foundation in hip-hop, all the while with is eye to the future on electronic and dance music, Spinna has succeeded in multiple fields. Ask an old school hip-hop head and they'll say he was a cornerstone of hip-hop's late 90's indie-uprise. Everyone from Mos Def, Talib Kweli to Pharaohe Monch boasted Spinna beats to prove their worth to the scene. Ask a house head and they'll instantly have memories of singing his monumental version of Shawn Escoffery's "Day's Like This," or enjoying his releases on UK's BBE or his own label, Wonderwax. Lovers of soul and pop know him for his work with Goapele & Les Nubians, his reworkings of Roy Ayers, Michael Jackson or his famous Steve Wonder inspired WONDER-Full DJ performances. Its true that there are other likeminded DJ/Producers in the world comparable to DJ Spinna, but for the most part, they choose a genre and master it. Ask them to flip another variety with the same intense knowledge and sleek-savvy and you’ll be hard pressed to find someone that’ll do it to Spinna’s extent. http://djspinna.com/ ---------Red Bull Music Academy--------- This night is recorded for Red Bull Music Academy Radio / RBMARadio.com The Red Bull Music Academy 2012 will be held in New York City, September 30 through November 2.

Past collaborators with FATHR^ have included: James Cuato, Dapose (The Faint, Vverevvolf Grehv), Clark Baechle (The Faint, Depressed Buttons), Seth Johnson (Carnal Torpor), Todd Fink (The Faint, Depressed Buttons), Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes/Mystic Valley Band), Jonathan Tvrdik (Back When, Idomeno King), Jacob Thiele (The Faint, Depressed Buttons), Jamie Montes (Flamboyant Gods).

You might've seen news of the Bias Resolution, which was recently passed by the City Council (http://m.omaha.com/om/pm_27428/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=r7Z7gz8g). But this doesn't go far enough; requiring "voluntary" measures won't protect our GLBT community from workplace discrimination. HoL is just one of many Omaha clubs dedicating the night to this cause. Come on out to GOO to show your support. Sign the petition, put on a sticker, and DANCE to change our city for the better! **DRESS THEME: You can do the stereotypical disco thing and we'll still love ya, but we're creaming to see anything like this Keith Harring littered Grace Jones get-up of her performing at the Paradise Garage: http://www.catch-fire.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/1757722004_e50ca203c9_o_thumb.jpg ⎰DJs Enfant Coma (The Faint/Depressed Buttons) + ⎱Brent Crampton (loom) DJs Enfant Coma (The Faint/Depressed Buttons) +

The frivolously themed dance party came out with a roar, churning out a new and fresh party scene. Goo was the catalystic-glue in Omaha that solidified a new generation of dancers. Founders Derek Pressnall (of the bands Tilly & The Wall, Flowers Forever, Icky Blossons) along with Todd Fink & Jacob Thiele (of The Faint & Depressed Buttons) threw parties that were completely focused on fun. No ego to the DJs skills, no telling what random corner of forgotten pop music they’d throw down, and definitely no telling what off-the-wall theme, decor and theatrics they’d manifest. Having thrown sporadic parties here and there for the past few years, Goo is now back and revitalized in a intimate 21+ setting every fourth-Friday of the month at House of Loom. ☰☰☰☰ More info: ☰☰☰☰

Previous Omaha shows have sparked such a big flame of amazement that whether you come for the musicianship or just an excuse to dance, you'll undoubtedly be blown away. **** RSVP to info@houseofloom.com for $5 entry before 9:30pm **** $7 all others / Opening DJ set @ 8pm / Orgone @ 9pm / 21+   Los Angeles, California // Funk, Soul, Afrobeat Orgone first appeared on Ubiquity with their cover of “Funky Nassau” (on Rewind Volume 4), which became a ubiquitous DJ fave worldwide. The Los-Angeles-based band’s reputation amongst the funk and soul fraternity is backed-up by an impressive and quickly growing resume that is expanding their reach. This includes landing a spot in an Adidas campaign, touring with major-label crews Little Brother, Bun-B, Nice & Smooth, Black Sheep, and going out as backing band for The Pharcyde, Plantlife (including a BBC performance for Jools Holland), Tone Loc, and New Orleans funk legend Eddie Bo at the Hurricane Katrina benefit. At the core of the band is a rhythm section comprised of close friends who have played together for over 15 years. Growing artistically as a unit they function as one organic and intuitive whole and, while they enjoy the comparisons to hot acts of the moment like Amy Winehouse, or funk staples like Sharon Jones or Breakestra, they’re quick to point out that Orgone is unique, “We draw from a wider musical and production palette than a lot of the ‘60’s inspired music that’s making a resurgence,” explains band-member Sean O’Shea. “It’s not intentional; it’s simply a reflection of the music and production aesthetics that we love.” The Killion Floor backs this up by taking the listener on a musical journey from the sound of Los Angeles to horn and percussion driven Lagos, and from a New York club to the raw sounds of New Orleans. Orgone live is 110% organic heart and soul. They promise a gritty, full throttle, extremely high energy, percussion heavy, horn laden, heavy hitting, dance party. Just like the recording they bring something special to the table; a vibe, an aesthetic and an attitude born out of half a lifetime of playing together.     LOCATION:1012 s. 10th st.

We'll be raffling off the pieces he creates that night to support this fundraising campaign. // Music selections from Brent Crampton & guest // Check the gallery openings downtown before heading our way. Listing here: http://www.facebook.com/omahafirstfriday FREE / 21+ / 9pm - 2am //// A note from Gerard Pefung on his fundraising campaign //// // The Goal: My creative challenge is to make 200 pieces of artwork while simultaneously raising $20,000 from sale of this work in 100 days. The money raised will support local and international projects I'm working on. // The Local Program: Providing organizations with access to art programs that work with kids in homeless shelters or those with behavior problems. The idea is to utilize basic art principles like color and lines as a metaphoric catalyst to understanding ones emotions and promoting self-confidence and self-expression. I believe that if you have a better understanding of your emotions, feel confident about yourself, you will be better suited to achieve, accomplish and have better control on life’s unpredictable situations, making smarter life-choices period. // The African Program: I'll be returning to my homeland in Cameroon, Africa to not only visit family, but to work with the Cameroonian government and people via the US embassy to bring about a positive change to society. Compared to other African countries, Cameroon enjoys political and social stability but it still faces many of the serious problems confronting underdeveloped nations. Although a presumably democratic country, it has had the same government/president since 1982, a government who recurrently infringes upon people’s rights and liberties. Discrimination against women, homosexuals and indigenous peoples is pervasive. There is virtually no distinction between the CPDM party (the current ruling party) and the Cameroonian Government. This same government employs tactics of patronage and intimidation to limit political debate. Similarly, the rights to assemble and of association are often curtailed according to ideology and political alignment. Reports of torture, excessive force, unlawful arrests and detention, and unlawful killings by police and security forces persist. The purpose of this project is to start a dialogue that can bring about a change. Cameroon is a small country in the west coast of Africa with a very colorful culture and breath taking geological features. It can be described as “Africa in a miniature.” Sitting on the Atlantic Ocean, you can find black and white sandy beaches, volcanic erupting mountains, waterfalls, rainforest, savannas deserts and high plateaus. Wildlife includes elephants, leopards, giraffes, Lions, gazelles, water buffalos just a diverse species of birds, animals and plants, and some of them are endangered or only found in Cameroon. English and French is spoken everywhere but there are over 200 ethnic groups, each having its own language or way of expression. Popular music styles include makossa and bikutsi, but hip-hop is growing among most youths. Cameroon is probably best for its outstanding performance in soccer and has produced some of the greatest players to ever play the sport.

The frivolously themed dance party came out with a roar, churning out a new and fresh party scene. Goo was the catalystic-glue in Omaha that solidified a new generation of dancers. Founders Derek Pressnall (of the bands Tilly & The Wall, Flowers Forever, Icky Blossons) along with Todd Fink & Jacob Thiele (of The Faint & Depressed Buttons) threw parties that were completely focused on fun. No ego to the DJs skills, no telling what random corner of forgotten pop music they’d throw down, and definitely no telling what off-the-wall theme, decor and theatrics they’d manifest. Having thrown sporadic parties here and there for the past few years, Goo is now back and revitalized in a intimate 21+ setting every fourth-Friday of the month at House of Loom. ☰☰☰☰ More info: ☰☰☰☰ http://www.facebook.com/houseofloomhttp://www.facebook.com/goodansewww.houseofloom.com/mailing-list LOCATION:1012 s. 10th st.

While his sets dabble in genres such as witch house, post & proto dubstep, dark hip hop, downtempo & experimental sounds, his selections transcends categories, relying more on an overall aesthetic or feel: Esoteric, troubled, contemplative, other-worldly, liberated. And to say Bushon is a DJ would be a bit misleading. He's more of a selector, playing one song from start to finish to relish in the sonics and original context in which it was created. Bushon has been closely aligned to some of Omaha's most interesting and underground artists, as well as some of Omaha's most well known indie musicians. Apart from collaborating with a number of bands throughout the years, the past handful of years has seem him on a solo/collaborative project known as FATHR^. D. Bushon’s reverberant audio visual performances, hereto after known enigmatically as F A T H R ^, send sub-harmonic murmurs aching through icy, clammy concrete floors and blast screeching frequencies of blindingly white noise at grime-encrusted tiles, climbing up the sickly green walls in ear-devouring horror. Performing singularly as often as he is with accompaniment, F A T H R ^ expulses these oddly wonderful crude waves of sonic shock with little more than a guitar, some knives and an ominous artifice of amplifiers. Past collaborators have included: James Cuato, Dapose (The Faint, Vverevvolf Grehv), Clark Baechle(The Faint, Depressed Buttons), Seth Johnson(Carnal Torpor), Todd Fink(The Faint, Depressed Buttons), Nate Walcott(Bright Eyes/Mystic Valley Band), Jonathan Tvrdik(Back When, Idomeno King), Jacob Thiele (The Faint, Depressed Buttons), Jamie Montes (Flamboyant Gods). 10pm / Free / 21+ / 1012 s 10 st //// More info //// http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom http://www.houseofloom.com/mailing-list http://twitter.com/#!/thehouseofloom LOCATION:1012 s. 10th st.

Or if you prefer, we have limited table reservations that come with bottle service in our lounge. When the calendar ends, will the cycle begin again, or will we evolve?

The frivolously themed dance party came out with a roar, churning out a new and fresh party scene. Goo was the catalystic-glue in Omaha that solidified a new generation of dancers. Founders Derek Pressnall (of the bands Tilly & The Wall, Flowers Forever, Icky Blossons) along with Todd Fink & Jacob Thiele (of The Faint & Depressed Buttons) threw parties that were completely focused on fun. No ego to the DJs skills, no telling what random corner of forgotten pop music they’d throw down, and definitely no telling what off-the-wall theme, decor and theatrics they’d manifest. Having thrown sporadic parties here and there for the past few years, Goo is now back and revitalized in a intimate 21+ setting every fourth-Friday of the month at House of Loom. ☰☰☰☰ More info: ☰☰☰☰ http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom http://www.facebook.com/goodanse www.houseofloom.com/mailing-list LOCATION:1012 s. 10th st.

The men behind the drums, vox and keyboards of the revered Faint were among the first to give punk kids a taste of keyboard-based dance music in the late 1990s—when dancing was not cool. Now outfitted as Depressed Buttons, they will take on the electronic/dance world with an entirely new sound. Diplo's Mad Decent label signed Depressed Buttons and released their first EP, "QWERTY" last December. Depressed Buttons has already remixed or collaborated with: Boy 8-Bit, Boys Noize, Shinichi Osawa, Of Montreal, Teenage Bad Girl, Herr Styler, CSS, LOL Boys, Para One, Reset!, Felix Cartal, Tony Senghore, Tommie Sunshine, O+S, Autoerotic, Beataucue and Crookers. From headlining the notorious Solyanka in Moscow, Control at Avalon Hollywood, main room at NYC's Webster Hall, Maria Ost Bahnhof in Berlin and more.

We’ll set-up our projector and turn the dance floor into a cinema lounge. With the lights low and the glow of candle light, enjoy this cult classic as we continue along with our Millennium Series. We'll close out the series on December 21 with The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest. //// About the movie //// In the highly anticipated second installment of the Millennium Trilogy… Lisbeth Salander is a wanted woman. A researcher and a Millennium journalist about to expose the truth about the sex trade in Sweden are brutally murdered, and Salander’s prints are on the weapon. Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behavior makes her an official danger to society – but no-one can find her anywhere. Meanwhile, Mikael Blomkvist, editor-in-chief of Millennium, will not believe what he hears on the news. Knowing Salander to be fierce when fearful, he is desperate to get to her before she is cornered and alone. As he fits the pieces of the puzzle together, he comes up against some hardened criminals, including the chainsaw-wielding ‘blond giant’ – a fearsomely huge thug who can feel no pain. Digging deeper, Blomkvist also unearths some heart-wrenching facts about Salander’s past life. Committed to psychiatric care aged 12, declared legally incompetent at 18, this is a messed-up young woman who is the product of an unjust and corrupt system. Yet Lisbeth is more avenging angel than helpless victim – descending on those that have hurt her with a righteous anger terrifying in its intensity and truly wonderful in its outcome.

We'll explore electronic infused Balkan brass, Gypsy swing, instrumental Klezmer with hints of traditional elements, remixed classics and whole new interpretations of the music.

Sazon Booya continued making news-worthy moves by dropping the first ever Moombahton video for their single “La Bomba” which no-less zealously premiered on their friend Skrillex’s Facebook page shared by over 1.7 million fans. With over 17k views to the video, they followed up on July 4th, 2011 with their 7-track-deep debut EP titled “La Bomba”. The “La Bomba” EP soared as far as #14 on Beatport’s top 100, placing among the likes of Zedd, Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack, Feed Me, Crookers, Mord Fustang and more. Aside from their unhindered determination, the key to Sazon’s big moves in such a short amount of time is their ability to seamlessly blend different contrasting sounds and rich audio flavors, while maintaining particular sensitivity to integrating familiar strokes and engaging vocal samples. Whether they’re hitting the more traditional Cumbia mid tempo or re-rubbing popular electro house originals to their own stylings, with endless approaches to sound in between, the Sazon Booya trademark simply cannot be pinpointed to a single signature note. With their unique aptitude for intergenre traversability, Sazon Booya have successfully demonstrated the very essence of the word “Sazon” itself, countless times over in their work; as exhibited in their distinctive and ever-capricious catalogue of original & remix productions. Between dropping original club-ready moombahton/moombahcore singles such as “Chorizo”, “Sucia Bailar”, and “Mis Armas” and their remixes of DJ Melo x Pickster, Drake, AC x Dell x Udachi, among others, Sazon Booya have released three volumes of their “Midnight Moombah Sessions” compilations, that brilliantly showcase their softer more sensual moombahsoul/moombahgroove side. The Sazon pair and the various facets of their unique brand of sound have been featured on a number of the EDM world’s most influential outlets including BBC Radio 1’s “In The VIP” mix, MTV.com, Mad Decent, Moombahton.com, Generation Bass, Vacay Wave, Scatterblog, among many more. As of late, Sazon Booya have been furiously at work on their forthcoming EP featuring collaborations from Toxic Avenger (IHeartComix), Zuzuka Pondersa, Anna Yvette (Atlantic Records), and Amy Douglas (Top Billin). The EP is set to drop early 2012, while their eager readiness to drop their forthcoming releases corresponds conveniently well with their massive show with Nadastrom and Digitalism at Webster Hall on December 2nd. Their 3rd music video, “Cochinas” premiered at the beginning of October on globally renowned label/blog Mad Decent along with a brand new Sazon remix of Skylar Grey’s Dance Without You to celebrate the debut. Between countless marathon studio sessions and miscellaneous high-profile video projects, Sazon Booya have traveled the states and parts of Europe playing with top acts such as Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi, Skrillex, Zedd, Nadastrom, Porter Robinson, Munchi and more; as well as on a majority of the Moombahton Massive dates, playing amongst every established name in the Moombah realm. Fully amped to rack up some more frequent flyer miles, Sazon Booya have confirmed more than a dozen dates that they will be joining the North American cross continent bass-laden coup d’état that is the almighty MOTHERSHIP TOUR, spearheaded by Skrillex, and joined by industry heavy weights, 12th Planet, Foreign Beggars, Nadastrom, and more. http://www.rot10musik.com/sazon-booya-press-kit/ http://soundcloud.com/sazonbooya http://www.facebook.com/sazonbooya LOCATION:1012 s. 10th st.

Through the Tasting Glass - Red Wine Undressed: A blind tasting with Jay Kline and Andrew and Leslie Wirick Please join us Wednesday, November 30th at 7:00 pm for a unique opportunity to challenge what you thought you knew about red wine. Participants will be encouraged to serially taste four, carefully selected red wines in double-blind fashion. This simply means you will not be informed of the varietal, nor will you know the country of origin/producer. The purpose of this fun exercise will be to mitigate your biases and challenge your current wine knowledge and conventions. We're sure to have some outstanding conversation as the process unfolds. Plus, in an effort to further mix things up, House of Loom has partnered with Indian Oven to provide some light food specifically chosen to enhance the experience of the wine. The cost for participation is $20 per person.

We encourage you to bring a side (but not required). We'll set-up our projector and turn the dance floor into a cinema lounge. With the lights low and the glow of candle light, enjoy this cult classic with host Terrance Pree. //// About the movie //// The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is an award-winning crime novel and locked room mystery by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson. It is the first book in his "Millennium series". At his death in November 2004, Larsson left three unpublished novels that made up the trilogy. It became a posthumous best-seller in several European countries as well as in the United States. Larsson witnessed the gang rape of a young girl when he was 15. He never forgave himself for failing to help the girl, whose name was Lisbeth – like the young heroine of his books, herself a rape victim, which inspired the theme of sexual violence against women in his books. An epic tale of serial murder and corporate trickery spanning several continents, the novel takes place in complicated international financial fraud and the buried evil past of a wealthy Swedish industrial family. Through its main character, it also references classic forebears of the crime thriller genre while its style mixes aspects of the sub-genres. There are references to Astrid Lindgren, Enid Blyton, Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, as well as Sue Grafton, J.R.R. Tolkien, Val McDermid, Elizabeth George, Sara Paretsky, and several other key authors of detective novels. A journalist and magazine editor in Stockholm until his death, Larsson reveals a knowledge and enjoyment of both English and American crime fiction. He declared that he wrote his opus for his own pleasure in the evenings after work.

The men behind the drums, vox and keyboards of the revered Faint were among the first to give punk kids a taste of keyboard-based dance music in the late 1990s—when dancing was not cool. Now outfitted as Depressed Buttons, they will take on the electronic/dance world with an entirely new sound. Diplo's Mad Decent label signed Depressed Buttons and released their first EP, "QWERTY" last December. Depressed Buttons has already remixed or collaborated with: Boy 8-Bit, Boys Noize, Shinichi Osawa, Of Montreal, Teenage Bad Girl, Herr Styler, CSS, LOL Boys, Para One, Reset!, Felix Cartal, Tony Senghore, Tommie Sunshine, O+S, Autoerotic, Beataucue and Crookers. From headlining the notorious Solyanka in Moscow, Control at Avalon Hollywood, main room at NYC's Webster Hall, Maria Ost Bahnhof in Berlin and more.

Built from an equal love of drone, shoegaze, post rock, early synth, and the 1970's, their sound exists in a world bigger than the sum of its parts: chiming guitars, steady drum beats, analog synths, proggy basslines, and beautiful female vocals that are strong enough to not get lost in the swirling soundscapes. Though they hail from a town famous for producing singer-songwriters, Conduits' music wouldn't feel right played on an acoustic guitar. These guys know that a perfectly placed drum hit, a thunderous synth bass crescendo, or a squalling guitar can sometimes be just as crushing as any lyric or chord progression. They draw as much from Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine as they do from Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin, and probably land somewhere in the middle. Their live shows have been described as mesmerizing, an often continuous flow of music that transfixes the audience until the last drum beat, feedback loop, or final vocal collapse. //// More Info //// http://www.facebook.com/ConduitsMusic http://www.facebook.com/houseofloom LOCATION: URL:http://www.houseofloom.com/event/conduits-wpony-wars/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20111102 DTEND:20111103 DTSTAMP:20120519T062511 CREATED:20111024T185343 LAST-MODIFIED:20111024T185343 UID:27871@http://www.houseofloom.com SUMMARY:TruthSpeaks Lounge Live Broadcast DESCRIPTION:"Occupying Space, Occupying Purpose" Live Open, Forum Discussion Come out and join in on discussions that impact your community and daily living. 7-9 pm / Free A live broadcast with open discussion ...

On their sophomore album Wild Go, the chamber-folk sextet creates a stirring reminder to seek out the wonder and magic to be found in the everyday. Their sound sets Nona Marie Invie's soaring, haunting voice against an array of acoustic instruments, all the while leaving room for the listener to nestle themselves inside and take part. The 10-song collection is a marked evolution for the group, which began in 2006 as a collaboration between Minneapolis based musicians Nona Marie Invie and Marshall LaCount. These two songwriters bring together disparate influences including minimalism, New Orleans jazz, Americana, Eastern European folk, and pop. With stark contrast in texture, tone and imagery, the band has expanded and redefined their sound. Wild Go's first single “Daydreaming” features Invie's warm voice and piano supported by spare, clean drums, guitar with lush reverb, cascades of dirty, distorted banjo, and an accordion wandering through the harmonies. Written in response to Elephant Micah's homesick dirge “Wild Goose Chase”, the song illustrates the growth of the band's sound and songwriting over the past two years. “'Wild Goose Chase' really touched me,” Invie says. “I wanted to reciprocate in a way that captured a moment in my own life. I've been traveling and touring for so long now – and it's been great – but I have this internal conflict between having a nomadic lifestyle and needing a home.” In the studio the band worked with producer Tom Herbers (a Minneapolis stalwart known for his credits with the Jayhawks, Low, and Soul Asylum), recording live to tape at three different Minneapolis locations including a renovated church/studio and an old theater. Of all the influences on Wild Go, perhaps the greatest is their dedication to live performance and touring, where many of Dark Dark Dark's songs first come to life. Playing together, the band lifts Invie and LaCount's songs to another level. “We try to create a magical space with our performances,” Invie reveals. “I'm always blown away by the number of people that come up to me afterward and say how much the music touched them. I love it when people can dance and have fun at our shows, but it's when people are quiet and I can tell that they are feeling it on a personal level that I feel like I'm really connecting.” Wild Go was released in October 2010 in the US on Supply & Demand Music, and will be released April 2011 on Melodic in the UK and Europe.

Ladytron DJ Set featuring Reuben Wu & Mira Aroyo $5 entry before 11 with RSVP to info@houseofloom.com / $10 all others Opening set by: Brent Crampton & Enfant Coma aka Jacob Thiele 9pm - 2am / 21+ / 1012 South 10 St //// More on Ladytron //// The narrative of the past decade of electronic music would not be complete without a chapter on Ladytron — although the Liverpool-born quartet’s global fanbase would argue that the band wrote the book on it. In 2001, the first fruits of what would become the new electronic-rock movement began to fall. Ladytron’s debut, "604," was an integral part of that first strike. A pristine, analog adventure of sound and substance, the album would go on to influence the genre itself, while the group quietly made a global impact both visually and stylistically. Consistently placing songcraft and innovation over any confining aesthetic, the foursome of Daniel Hunt, Reuben Wu, Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo fashioned four albums of deliriously buzzing, whip-smart electro-pop that have kept them ahead of the curve, apart from the fads and in a league of their own. “We’ve never fit into one scene, never adhered to one set of rules and never wanted to create anything that was already accepted or in the mainstream,” says Wu now, reflecting on a decade highlighted by principal releases “604” (2001), “Light & Magic” (2002), “Witching Hour” (2005) and “Velocifero” (2008). Those albums, surveyed on the career-spanning “Best of Ladytron: 2000-2010,” reflect the quartet’s deftly executed (and delightfully subversive) dualities: primordial grooves vs. lushly layered synths; sanguine melodies vs. shimmering atmospherics; and art-house detachment vs. the poignant narratives delivered by dueling sirens Marnie and Aroyo. Ladytron has created a body of work that reveals a fresh creative arc — and, as time has told, served as a reference point for a current crop of artists such as Lady Gaga, Goldfrapp, La Roux and Crystal Castles. “When we started music was very polarized — you were either rock or you were dance, and it seemed revolutionary, and even punk, to make music using these instruments,” Wu says. “Slowly it became ingrained in people’s consciousness that it was acceptable, even natural, to make music this way. ” “Sometime I think, ‘what would happen if we started now, in this decade? How would things be different.’ There’s not a lot of stuff left, really.” //// More on House of Loom //// House of Loom serves culture, community & craft cocktails.

Each syllable cut’s through, not asking, demanding to be heard. However, the energetic self-proclaimed letter bender doesn’t specialize in 'Emcee Overkill’. Instead Qwazaar displays a unique control over tones, rhythm and wordplay that’s been non-existent in today’s top music playlists. "One of the most versatile Emcees to emerge from the city of Chicago..." As a member of the popular quintuplet "Typical Cats", Qwazaar sharpened his edge. If that wasn’t enough, his release with the genre bending group OuterLimitz, entitled "Suicide Prevention", drove the point home. - http://www.facebook.com/BlaineIzaPain (Qwazaar) - http://www.facebook.com/TypicalCats LADY DAISEY / BATSAUCE Both, Lady Daisey and Batsauce, are also part of the Smile Rays (Rawkus/6-Hole/Jakarta/Subcontact) along with Paten Locke (aka Therapy) After recording a track with George Clinton and being selected as Rawkus 50 artists, they quickly won the hearts of the indie hip hop scene. She’s opened for Sharon Jones, Mayer Hawthorne, Chali 2na, Roxanne Shante,Bahamadia, the Perceptionists. She’s rocked festivals around the world alongside the Roots, Method Man, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Muse,Souls of Mischief, Zion I. This raised the bar and now it’s time for Lady Daisey to share her songs with the world. She does just that with her debut solo album ”In My Pocket” - http://www.facebook.com/LadyDaisey - http://www.facebook.com/batsauce OLD IRVING (ROBUST W/ MAX & PORE) A veteran of Chicago’s burst in underground hip hop, Robust is known in the Chi town scene for his past collaborations with groups such as Scam Artists and The Molemen. His 2000 independent release "Freelance Gynecologist" got attention worldwide from fans and critics of dope punchlines and humorous rhymes. Soon Bigga would appear on projects like Sage Francis’ "Still Sick Urine Trouble" & Qwel’s debut "If It Ain’t Been In A Pawn Shop, Then It Can’t Play The Blues", where he showed his growth into a more serious lyricist. - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Robust/114488341899059?ref=ts - http://oldirvingproductions.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Old-Irving-Productions/219964164703634 MIDTOWN MAURADERS The Midtown Marauders— Conchance, Black Jonny Quest, Kethro and Dojorok.

Tonight is the debut of their monthly party at House of Loom, exploring future club sounds. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐ $5 / 21+ / Music @ 10pm ☐☐☐☐ Depressed Buttons Bio ☐☐☐☐ Most commonly known as three-fifths of the influential indie-synth outfit, The Faint; Clark Baechle, Todd Fink, and Jacob Thiele have begun their journey into the future of sound with their new project Depressed Buttons. The men behind the drums, vox and keyboards of the revered Faint were among the first to give punk kids a taste of keyboard-based dance music in the late 1990s—when dancing was not cool. Now outfitted as Depressed Buttons, they will take on the electronic/dance world with an entirely new sound. Diplo's Mad Decent label signed Depressed Buttons and released their first EP, "QWERTY" last December. Depressed Buttons has already remixed or collaborated with: Boy 8-Bit, Boys Noize, Shinichi Osawa, Of Montreal, Teenage Bad Girl, Herr Styler, CSS, LOL Boys, Para One, Reset!, Felix Cartal, Tony Senghore, Tommie Sunshine, O+S, Autoerotic, Beataucue and Crookers. The four-track EP does not digress from The Faint’s intentions to make an entire audience fill the dance floor, but Depressed Buttons does lead into a new sound of digital dance dimension. With a filthy lust for synthesizers, the band creates all of their own tracks, leaving listeners entranced and entangled within a web of angular stabs and thick pads. Don’t let the word “depressed” fool you, a button that's depressed isn't sad; it's turned on. ☐☐☐☐ FREE Music & More Info ☐☐☐☐ http://soundcloud.com/depr​essedbuttons http://www.maddecent.com/b​log/depressed-buttons-mixm​eat-mixtape http://soundcloud.com/pref​ixmag/css-hits-me-like-a-r​ock http://www.facebook.com/De​pressedButtons LOCATION: URL:http://www.houseofloom.com/event/depressed-buttons/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20110908 DTEND:20110909 DTSTAMP:20120519T062511 CREATED:20110730T105042 LAST-MODIFIED:20110816T173335 UID:2399@http://www.houseofloom.com SUMMARY:J Phlip (Dirtybird Records) DESCRIPTION:$10 advanced tickets 9pm-2am FB RSVP & more info: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=252005078147471 HLN & Flatline are excited to present one of Dirtybird Records phenomenal artists!

(Where artists, patrons & gallery owners connect post OFF) ++ Orenda Fink (Azure Ray, O+S.) & Nina Barnes (of Montreal, the Apollinaire Rave Art Collective) debut Harouki Zombi Immediately following Nina Barnes' opening at the New BLK: https://www.facebook.com/e​vent.php?eid=2693691197443​21 //// NO Cover / 21+ / Opening DJ @ 9 / Performance @ 11 //// //// Harouki Zombi Bio //// Harouki Zombi is the brainchild of Nina Barnes (of Montreal, the Apollinaire Rave Art Collective) and Orenda Fink (Azure Ray, O+S.) One part carefully curated DJ set (including original material), one part stunning visuals from Nina Barnes, and one part performance art- Harouki Zombi is a hedonistic celebration of all life's earthly delights. After spending a vinho verde fueled year together in Athens, Georgia, Nina and Orenda found that they shared certain affinities for life, love and decadence. While watching Orenda's husband, Todd Fink (The Faint, Depressed Buttons) DJ on Orenda and Todd's last night in town, Orenda turned to Nina and said "Let's be fucking DJs" Nina said "Yes! But let's do it dressed as geishas." Orenda agreed and Harouki Zombi was born. Orenda moved back to Omaha and the pair have been perfecting their show ever since. Harouki Zombi will debut in Athens GA, on August 26th at the GO Bar and then in Omaha, NE, at the House of Loom on September 2nd. Immediately proceeding: world domination. //// Omaha First Friday //// Be sure to check out other First Friday gallery openings. http://www.facebook.com/om​ahafirstfriday LOCATION: URL:http://www.houseofloom.com/event/omaha-first-friday-launch-party/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20110831 DTEND:20110901 DTSTAMP:20120519T062511 CREATED:20110730T103856 LAST-MODIFIED:20110803T015246 UID:2396@http://www.houseofloom.com SUMMARY:Gunk presents Win Win & Ron Darko DESCRIPTION:GUNK presents: Win Win (Featuring Chris Devlin & Ghostdad) Ron Darko (Spank Rock & Amanda Blank's DJ) opening sets from: KOBRAKYLE AND SPENCELOVE 21+ / $8 - PRESALE TICKETS (available at GUNK or by AUG 1st from kobra or spence) $10 - DAY OF SHOW LOCATION: URL:http://www.houseofloom.com/event/gunk-presents-win-win-ron-darko/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20110820 DTEND:20110821 DTSTAMP:20120519T062511 CREATED:20110730T103645 LAST-MODIFIED:20110816T152413 UID:2394@http://www.houseofloom.com SUMMARY:loom's Annual White Party + House of Loom Grand Opening DESCRIPTION: ⏏⏏ Stay connected: http://www.facebook.com/ho​useofloom ⏏⏏ FREE ENTRY before 11 p.m. with RSVP to info@houseofloom.com ⏏ loom - Weaving the Social Fabric Through Dance ⏏ + DRESS IN WHITE ++ Celebrate the Grand Opening of House of Loom +++ 1012 S. 10 St / $5 / 8 pm-2 am / 21+ ++++ Music selections from Brent Crampton & Kethro + live percussion, vocalist, art. ⏏⏏ A note from loom co-creator Brent Crampton ⏏⏏ Last year after our white party held at The Waiting Room, Ethan Bondelid approached Jay and I about expanding loom into House of Loom. The idea was that every cultural movement needs a center of gravity. Now exactly one year from that event, we are celebrating the Grand Opening of House of Loom. Now you're probably thinking, what's with all the openings? While the "Soft Opening" certainly wasn't soft on attendance, we can say with humility that our capacity to cater to a crowd of that size was certainly soft. Now that we've worked out various kinks, we're ready to say that we're now full steam ahead (but always ready to be humbled again and improve along the way).

It comes with deep gratefulness that the community of Omaha has allowed such an endeavor to exist. This night in particular is special, as it's the first official loom dance party at House of Loom. We've decided to keep doing Thursdays to appease all the die-hards that want a more intimate experience on the dancefloor. (But don't worry you work-week early risers, we got some great weekend loom events in the works). We're bringing back DJ Ala on his summer tour who gave us big blessings on the dance floor last year. I hope you all can join me in setting off this 5-year tradition with a bang at its new home. ⏏ Hosted by Jay "rhythmSOULdier" Kline ⏏ ⏏ Stay connected . . . ⏏ House of Loom page: http://www.facebook.com/ho​useofloom ⏏⏏⏏ DJ ALA BIO ⏏⏏⏏ http://diveradio.com/ “When ALA went on I had to put my phone on “vibrate” because the ringer seemed to sound off at 10 second intervals. On the inside, my smile was fully engaged…Not surprised, I knew ALA was destroying the place.” – Marques Wyatt (DEEP, LA) Mastermind behind one of San Diego’s longest running deep house nights, DIVE, DJ ALA has been a driving force in the west coast house music community. Through the evolution of DIVE, ALA has been instrumental in bringing world-renowned talent to San Diego, which gave him the opportunity to play alongside such House luminaries as Roy Davis Jr., Jask, Louie Vega, Marques Wyatt, jojoflores, Alix Alvarez, Halo, Mark Grant, Lisa Shaw, Tortured Soul, Miguel Migs, and more. With early success of his compilation series Mar Del Sol and G Lounge and now as host of the popular show, Dive Radio, ALA has built a solid tour resume. From San Francisco to Paris, ALA has graced the decks of many notable hotspots like DEEP (LA), Cielo (NYC), End Up (SF), Lotus Bar (Honolulu), Djoon (Paris), Clevelander (Miami), Fortune Sound Club (Vancouver), and Boom Boom Room (Chicago) to name a few. His illustrious DJ career also includes a growing list of gigs at world-renowned events and venues in such cities as Manila, Bordeaux, Royan, Montreal, Boracay, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and more.
