SHIFT is a mutiny on the monotony.

(IT'S ABOUT) THE MUSIC

I will be throwing down a mix of electro, indie rock, quality pop, nasty new wave, and anything that is worthy of an ass-shakin' dance floor. After years of discontent with gay clubs that drown themselves in stale, processed pop and straight bars that forget the dance beat, I decided to create this night for anyone and everyone who wants an alternative alternative in the neighborhood. Some of the Music you may hear.

WELCOME

Hello, and welcome to our home.

I would like to be the first to usher you onto our humble dance-floor digs through this accompanying blog that will comment on quality new music.

Since the idea of this party was created in the summer of 2008, a great deal of excitement has surrounded it. After many months of stumbling blocks, and teaming up with a partner (B), we launch SHIFT, the District of Columbia's newest dance-fest on Saturday February 28th, 2009.

(CHANGE ACTUALLY IS HERE) THE VENUE

Cobalt, an iconic gay bar for years, underwent a major face-lift. After remodeling the entire building (along with its policies and staff), and hiring a new operations manager, we felt that the bar's new and welcoming vibe fit ours, and now we are officially a 'go.' The cover is 1/2 of everywhere else on a Saturday, and the drink specials will kick ass.

Just in time for the weather to change and the bitter cold to be put to rest, we invite everyone (gay, straight, lesbian, hipster, toaster, hamster) to shimmy their asses for Spring on February 28th (Sat.), upstairs at Cobalt.

Look at all the good we do.
