Our homies Clinton Sparks, Bad Rabbits, DJ Red Foxx, Audible Mainframe and many more will be performing at a number of showcases this year and we’ll keep you posted on all of the madness – but in the meantime, mark your calendars for our events on March 17th and 20th.

As part of Together: The New England Electronic Music Festival, Karmaloop has paired up with Thunderdome to present it’s biggest line-up ever.
In a very special Together closing party, we’re bringing out three very special guests to rock Boston’s Villa Victoria Center for the Arts.
Joining Thunderdome resident DJs Mistaker, Karmaloop’s Red Foxx and Dev/Null, plus VJs Robotkid and Matt Boch providing visual stimulation for the night, local heros Hot Pink Delorean have been taking the electronic music world by storm since it’s start just a few years ago; with remixes and original tracks showing up on playlists throughout the world, HPD continues to develop it’s soul-sonic, mind-fucking sound. What’s more, Boston underground hip-hop don Virtuoso is joining HPD to debut his latest tracks making this a not-to-be-missed set.
All the way from frigid Iceland, the Steed Lord Soundsystem have been turning heads on blogs and at most of the major festivals throughout Europe and the US. For the collective’s Boston debut, they will certainly show us beaneaters how they can rock a party.
Finally, New York City party queen Roxy Cottontail will be guesting with frequent collaborator Luther. Roxy has become a legend in the NYC club scene and has ventured North to see what all the fuss it about here in the Hub. Whether DJ’ing or MC’ing, Roxy’s talents speak for themselves so let’s show her how batshit insane this lil’ city of ours can get.
Keeping with Together’s support of Partners in Health, there will be a special Valentine’s Kissing Booth with all proceeds going to benefit disaster relief in Haiti. Partners in Health they are a local charity who are on the ground in Port-au-Prince right now providing much needed healthcare to those who have been affected by this terrible tragedy.
Photos will be taken all night by NYC’s Nicky Digital coming up for a special appearance – so look good, damnit, it’s been a long, long time since he’s shot a party in here in the Bean.
As you can imagine, this is going to fill up quickly so if you want a better chance of getting in, cop a Together Festival Pass at Brown Paper Tickets. This is the only way to buy tickets ahead of time, and while the Thunderdome is always capacity dependent, they will be holding 50 spots for festival pass-holders up until midnight and pass holders will get to jump the line like they’re all important and shit.
If you haven’t already, be sure to join the Together Group for more information on what is shaping up to be a new era in Boston nightlife, and as always, check out the Thunderdome group for sneak peaks, secrets that can’t be disclosed publicly and more special offers. There is a rumor that there might be a few guest list spots given away in the near future… *hint hint*
