If you like a little evil with your needles, look no further than this Saturday’s Sadisco 54 party at Jugheads. Sadisco (www.sadistic-disco.com) is a monthly industrial/EBM/noise event where resident DJs Squalor, ///she///, 1975, and Aversion drop ear-eating bombs of wax — this month’s event bumps up the atmosphere with ’70s nightmare decor and a mysterious appearance by Charles Manson and his Go-Go Strippers on Crack (we suppose he gets weekend furlough passes these days). Complementing the jackhammer vibe will be a display of artwork by Ellie Ellmore, Leesaw, and Heather Kozan.
If you’re not familiar, EBM stands for electronic body music, a term coined for aggro dance outfits like Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, and Frontline Assembly. Hear tracks by artists like Mimetic, Needle Sharing, Converter, and Powder Pussy, while you reinvent the debauchery of NYC’s Studio 54. Sadisco’s last event was bombastic; even the cops showed up (with shotguns drawn), because of the presence of toy guns. So bring your toy flak jacket — you never know what’ll happen. Sadisco 54 starts at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 26, at Jugheads, 5110 East McDowell Road. Admission is $5, and the event is 21 and over until 1 a.m., 18 and over after 1 a.m.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
