Civilian space exploration is still prohibitively expensive (for most of us), but intergalactic travel can be closely approximated by a simple journey to the East River on the evening of July 12th.
Join Solar One, Astralwerks Records, and WFMU’s DJ Trent for a 100% solar-powered evening of electronic music videos of every vintage, including the amazing new audiovisual experience by the Chemical Brothers, “Further.” Free Sixpoint Beer for everyone 21+ while supplies last. Solar One is located on 23rd Street @ the East River.
If you can’t make it in person, tune in to live audio and video streams at 91.1 in NYC, 90.1FM in the Catskills, and WFMU.org all over this planet. RAIN DATE: July 19th.
