q-burnsabstractmessage

This weekend I’m hitching a ride on a jetliner and bringing my pack of tunes to a couple of fun mid-west venues. Friday night I will find myself in St. Louis and then on Saturday I’ll be skipping over to Louisville for a golden pair of rollicking Q-Burns Abstract Message DJ gigs. I’ve got loads of new music in tow and a few extra tricks up my sleeve so if you happen to be in the area then I hope you’ll join me. Here are the scintillating details:

Friday, December 3 – St. Louis, MO at Europe Nightclub

Blistering good vibes are expected as I roll into one of my favorite cities. The action starts at 9:30 PM with opening DJs Pattern Pusher + Slant-E, Narcosis, and Trevor Matthews. It’s 18 and up but if you’re over 21 then you can enjoy the dangerously free Stolli vodka until 11 PM. It’s a $10 cover, and Europe Nightclub is located at 710 North 15th Street. For lots more information go to this event’s Facebook page by clicking HERE.

Saturday, December 4 – Louisville, KY at Audyssey Nightclub

I’m a little late for what was once my annual Thanksgiving weekend Kentucky visit, but you knew I wouldn’t let you down totally. Louisville is always a good time and I’m positive this will be no exception. The club opens the doors at 10 PM and plan to keep things going until the break-a-dawn, just like those good old days. Nate FX, DJ Drek, and Cid Vicious are also spinning tunes and it’s 18 and up with a $10 cover. Audyssey Nightclub is located at 2420 South 4th Street in Louisville. To get tons of further details go to this event’s Facebook page by clicking HERE.

I hope to see you out and about!

PS – If you happen to be in Orlando then all is not lost … Joshua Iz, one of my favorite DJs and producers, will be playing a ¡Club Queso! at the Peacock Room with Atnarko and Sleazy McQueen. This happens this very Friday, December 3. For more information click HERE.
