Oh Vanity! “The Second Coming”

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 01:45:37 +0000

MODchicago enthusiastically endorses the second installment of Oh Vanity! as the official weekender pre-party place to be. Head to Late Bar on Wednesday, June 9, where you’ll hear the likes of the Charlatans, Northside, Stone Roses, Blur, Pulp, Doves, Happy Mondays, etc. spun by WCSC’s Kevin Jones with special guest (and weekender DJ) Dave Monroe. THIS IS A DANCE NIGHT, so do take note. We aren’t here to sit around and sip our beers, come prepared to cut a rug. Or at least twirl around in your baggy flares… cos this night, it’s gotta be a loose fit.

So if you find yourself in town on Wednesday and care to start the party a little early with a bit of Madchester, come on out – plus it’s free!
