CHROMEO(Montreal/NYC) Flosstradamus (Chicago) Sleazy V (SD) Nathan Black (SD) JULY 25, 2007 / 9PM / $8 ADVANCE - $10 DAY OF / 21+ www.myspace.com/thebeautybar Online ticket sale: www.blackwaxonline.com/chromeo.htm If you were one of the lucky ones to catch them last year, then you know about the craziness. If you weren't there, expect to DANCE! Last year the girls couldn't contain themselves and were jumping on stage and dancing nearly naked as Chromeo seranaded them with their "sexjams". Expect nothing less this time, i t will be a double dose of dance floor fun when party starters Chromeo and Chicago's premier DJ crew Flosstradamus set off on another sexjam crusade with their slippery electro funk-flapping pop synthesizer playful sophisticatedmusic. Their second album Fancy Footwork (set to be released July by VICE) finds our charismatic sartorial opposites Dave 1 and Pee Thug at the top of their game, both musically and stylistically. Tracks like "Tenderoni" and "Bonafied Lovin'" highlight the bravado of Dave 1's innuendo filled lyrics coupled with Pee Thug's rock solid synth and vocoder work, while "100%" and "Momma's Boy" reveal the tender side of Chromeo in the form of effortless slow jams. To top it off, legendary producer Philippe Zdar (Cassius, Motorbass) mixed the record, adding an elegant French touch to the atmosphere and perfectly complementing Chromeo's heightened attention to songwriting detail. Fancy Footwork is a trans-continental love affair that represents the duality of the group best: a catchy yet intense pop album delivered with disarming sincerity . www.myspace.com/CHROMEO www.myspace.com/FLOSSTRADAMUS www.myspace.com/SLEAZYV www.myspace.com/thenewblacksd "Chromeo will make everyone at your party dance." - ROLLING STONE "Gold-plated basslines and rhinestone-studded synths. The smoothest, most sincere funk since New Edition" - THE FADER "Chromeo takes the cake here with a synth-happy exploration of the intersection of dancefloor sultriness, strip-club raunch, and a very pronounced wink." - VILLAGE VOICE "A duo whose commitment to slow jams (and infatuation with vocal processing) goes well beyond satire." - NEW YO RK TIMES

The good reverend takes the rockabilly sound and kick starts it with an infusion of punk attitude. A**jack is the hardcore, punk metal, psychobilly band led by Hank Williams III. The Georgia-based sleaze rockers Nashville Pussy debuted in 1998 with the album 'Let Them Eat Pu**y,' an underground favorite upon its release. The record was reissued on major label Mercury later that same year, with the song 'Fried Chicken and Coffee' nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Heavy Metal Performance.
