Riot Night

RIOT NIGHT is back at Black Circle on November 3rd. That's right, we wanna see a sea of "I VOTED!" stickers in our audience. This show is a very special edition because it's a benefit show for the folks who provide free testing at all of our shows, Damien Underground! So after you cast your vote at your local polling station, come celebrate democracy & social services with us over a brew!

Rather than purchasing a ticket, we're asking for a (firmly suggested) donation of $10 that will go directly towards their program providing free HIV, syphilis, and HVC testing to those who need it most. This means no discounted presale tickets, but that's okay! If you prefer our discounted price, we won't be upset if that's what you can pay at the door. It's always more important that you're in the audience and contributing to our community with your presence. You matter more than money.

Always. We'll see you then, and don't forget to VOTE!

Drag! Community! LIVE entertainment! ASL interpreters! FREE HIV testing & harm reduction resources! Food & drinks! 18÷

RIOT NIGHT. ANGRILY ACTIVE. ELECTRIFYINGLY ENTERTAINING. INITIATIVE INVOKING. OVERTLY OUT LOUD. UNIFYING THROUGH UPSET.

If you have not heard this band, change that. Genuinely the best fusion of death metal, grindcore, and powerviolence to ever be conceived. Listen to their newest record NOT WORTHY OF HUMAN COMPASSION. It's sinister, it's blistering, it's unsettling, and it's truly some of the best heavy guitar music created in recent years. I love this band.

And as always, Respect The Space and Respect Each Other!

Black Circle Market

Happy Friday Y'all!

Next BLACK CIRCLE MARKET is set for Sunday, SEPTEMBER 27th from NOON-5PM!

Last market was HUGE, so I'm thinking momentum and good weather lead us to an even BETTER market this time! But in order to do that I need Y'ALL to tell your FRIENDS and FAMILY, and if you know someone who VENDS, READS TAROT, DOES CARICATURES, GIVES MASSAGES, or WHATEVER, tell them I still have room for more VENDORS and I'm always down for something NEW!

Hoping that this date doesn't CLASH with any other plans and I get to see even more of you on the TWO SEVEN!!
