Re:Union is now a weekly event every Sunday night. Music that is at least 10 years old warms all our our hearts. If you frequented places such as Catch 22, Dance Cave, Limelight, Freakshow, Boom Boom Room, Whiskey Saigon, Joe, Twilight Zone, Big Bop, etc, etc, then you heard DJ Michael X and DJ Dwight doing their thing. The mix masters are back and playing the old classic tracks that you haven't heard in years. Tonight: Don't miss the amazing 80's cover band Monkey's on Juice. They'll hit the stage at 10 pm. They even do a couple of covers by Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry so you know it's not a stereotypical cover band. They may even be persuaded to do a couple of requests.

Crank Sturgeon fron Maine, who generally dresses up like an inflatable sturgeon and launches into diatribes about god knows what whilst making skronking, woozy blurts of sound headlines this show that is sure to be a strange night of experimental noise.
