Hey Willpower + Magen Melancholy!!

Dear Friends,

Boy are we busy around Sweat HQ - there are tons of great events and things to look forward to... especially Sweat's brand-new website!! We've outgrown our lovely little blogger page and in the next week or so will be launching a comprehensive, super-awesome site complete with better-than-ever event listings AND a submission page so YOU (yes, you!) can get your parties/shows/meetings/bike rallies/vegan potlucks/etc listed in the massive, renowned Sweat list that goes out to thousands of culture-savvy South Floridians every week. Needless to say, as soon as we go live we'll let you know!!

Well, last Friday at The Vagabond PANIC BOMBER rocked the place inside-out with his custom glow-suit and banging electronic beats (if you missed it he'll be at NIGHTDRIVE at News Lounge on Wednesday the 21st)!! Tonight, we're super excited to bring you a special live performance by HEY WILLPOWER!! This San Fran-based group have played with everyone from Annie to Le Tigre and will be bringing their r&b-influenced electrosynthpop to the Main Room tonight!! Also, in the earlier part of the evening we've got the official album release party for "Grand" - the new album by MATT & KIM!! Arrive early to hear the whole album and score tons of cool swag including posters, custom sharpies, and signed vinyl!!

Saturday night at Sweat's we've got a killer in-store featuring MAGEN MELANCHOLY, a solo set by Miami's own BUFFALO, and a special appearance by Sacramento's AGENT RIBBONS!! This girl-girl duo have toured the world and rock out like the White Stripes!! Magen is amazing too, we caught her at an open mic last year and she was mesmerizing... Starts at 9pm so come out and have some espresso before you hit the clubs!!

Next week: we'll be closed on Monday for MLK Day and then Tuesday...holy crap it's Obama's Inauguration!!!!!! Later that night we'll be celebrating at PSYCHIC TUESDAYS, the new Tuesday weekly party at Bella Rose!! Expect music you won't hear anywhere else (outside of your bedroom) spun by DJ HEALER, R3K+ and guests. Opening night has open bar 10-midnight so come check it out!!

Last but not least, Wednesday night is the DEATH PRINT SNEAK PREVIEW featuring over 45 minutes of edited scenes from this highly-anticipated local thriller!!

Have a great weekend everyone and be safe.

Much love,
Lolo, Jsin and the Sweat crew
