"Depeche Mode Tribute"
Saturday, May 2, 2009
DNA Lounge

As has been the case for the history of NWC. the DM fans were out en mass and packed the DNA Lounge for this awesome tribute night. DJ/VJ Low-Life did a great job keeping the videos flowing smoothly and DJ Shindog was his usual rockin' self. Depeche Mode CD's and concert tickets, along with Howard Jones concert tickets, were won by lucky people who managed to hang on to the flyer (these cards are marked!) they were given at the door. An excellent mixture of New Wave filled the upstairs room all night from DJ's Donimo and Tomas Diablo. Free yummy cupcakes for the masses were provided by Kristin's Cupcakery (www.kristinscupcakery.com).

Favorite quote of the night: Overheard in the men's room, "I don't know what it is about New Wave City, but the music just seems more real here."

    GREAT night of dancing and music! Thank you!!!

    And it's a good thing that Tomas Diablo played this upstairs: Depeche Mode - World in My Eyes (Cicada Mix)...otherwise, I would have been very disappointed, reading that on Low-Life's set list from downstairs!

      Excerpt from an email from Skip (sent to Donimo and I):

      "Reminder that the front room is the DM tribute room. Try to avoid playing DM upstairs unless it's a personal fave or someone really really nice makes a request."

      Apparently I think Dina is really really nice.

      It makes perfect sense to not overload BOTH rooms with 1 artist - this way if someone wants to escape that month's artist for a bit, they can (and what's the point of a second room if you play the same music as the main room?). I do the same thing at tributes at Strangelove - instructing the front room DJs that they can play a *few* songs from that month's artist, but not to go overboard (that's our job in the back room).

      I thought it was bizarre that I only played 2 DM songs all night, and Lowlife played them back-to-back in the main room at 2:15AM. I think Lowlife and I must have been on the same mental wavelength.

        Um ok well thank you for induldging me! I usually spend most of my evening upstairs hence my urgent DM request, but I eventually migrated downstairs and danced my DM ass off!

        Now This is Fun!

    Being new to this and all I didn't know there was a set list on-line! Sweet Jesus! And may I thank for six straight hours of dancing in a skirt! I haven't danced that long in while and I haven't danced in skirt since um... Dee Dee Bridgewater at Yoshi's (she thought I was a girl). Now I gotta find me some buddies to go out with to make the evening even better.

    Okay that all said I as pleased as I was I was sorta hopin' I'd hear some Transvision Vamp. *crosses fingers for next time*

    Thanks so much!
