An art-punk-rock dance party led by
Telepathic Liberation Army, Ononos and Glitterbang, followed by a continued dance party at the hands of
Mathematix and Dewey Decimal?? YES PLEASE.

The black plague couldn't keep me from an Ononos show, but with TLA too? and I haven't seen Glitterbang yet as they are fresh off the grill, but have heard great things. I'm not even going to say anymore just DO IT. (Oh yeah and it's TLA's
record release party!)
