THURSDAY DECEMBER 5
URSULA 1000
New York-based Ursula 1000 produces music that would work for Esquivel if he were being chased through a nightclub in a Bond film: "Hammond organ breaks, spy caper intrigue, boogaloo shingalings, samba disco and bongos, bongos, bongos." Just what in the hell is a boogaloo shingaling, anyway? Michael Antonio and A. C. Lewis support. Baltic Room, 1207 Pine St, 9 pm-2 am, 625-4444, 21+, $7.
DJ GARTH
DJ Garth, from San Francisco's Wicked Crew, is known for playing sets of dub-inspired house, and that's wicked awesome! Also on the bill are Rama and DJ Flave. Chop Suey, 1325 E Madison St, 324-8000, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, $10.
FRIDAY DECEMBER 6
SWIRL UNDERGROUND
Aristocrat's, a club that consistently supports the local electronic scene, is offering after-hours. In my book, the best time to dance is always after 3 am! Terry Jasinto, Nobel, and Danny Fortunado spin deep and progressive house. Aristocrat's, 220 Fourth Ave S, 748-9779, 9 pm-5 am, 21+, $7.
SATURDAY DECEMBER 7
NOC NOC--AFTER-HOURS
It's good to see the after-hours dance crowd still holdin' it down. Words of advice... the "Disco Nap"! LSDJ plays funky house. Noc Noc, 1516 Second Ave, 223-1333, 2 am-5 am, 21+, $6.
LIFE
Tonight Afterhours/Dust Traxx recording artist Lego will be spinning Latin-flavored house, Chicago style, along with locals Jeromy Nail and SYA for this monthly party--caliente! Baltic Room, 1207 Pine St, 625-4444, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, $7/$10.
SUNDAY DECEMBER 8
RESURRECTION
Get ready to unfurl your cap and grease down your widow's peak! Noc Noc has been hosting an industrial/goth night that's catching on. If that's not enough, perhaps the 25-cent Pabst all night long will persuade you--that's cheaper than fucking water! Noc Noc, 1516 Second Ave, 223-1333, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, $5.
MONDAY DECEMBER 9
INVOLUTION
Monday nights at Nation are still great for getting your groove on to hiphop, seeing some crazy shit on the dance floor, or just having a drink and telling the work week to bite the big one. Nation, 1921 Fifth Ave, 374-9492, 9 pm-2 am, 21+, $5.
TUESDAY DECEMBER 10
CUT CHEMIST
See preview above.
WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 11
