At Soundproof we endeavor to keep it eclectic, weird, wild, and mix lots of old school, classic alternative along with current, contemporary bands. The focus at Soundproof isn't on the indie hits, the popular bands and songs topping Pitchfork lists and charts or other popular blogs and publications. There's a shift here away from dancey indiepop.
Our motto is dare to be different and make it truly alternative or indie in the sense of indie label bands going back as far as indie started, right up to current day. A history of indie and alternative (including punk, postpunk, new wave, garage rock, alt-folk, goth, psychedelic and much more) of all kinds is what I hope people can find in the sets here. Creativity with sets is strongly encouraged. The only real requirement for playing at Soundproof though is having a real passion and love for alternative music. It's about DJing for the music, not the crowds and tips.
No cliques, no elitism. Uniting the freaks, the outsiders, the music nerds under one roof, to be silly as shit and party on. Wanna DJ here? Contact Paradox Messmer. All friendly people are welcome. As of now, there are DJs on Tuesdays and Fridays. We are also featured in the Destination Guide! SLURL: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bloom%20County/100/140/23
I appreciate the endeavor you are undertaking with this club, but do not appreciate at all that you are posting here for DJs or "pimping" your club. Use the SL forums, or various music groups in SL for that. This is a forum for sharing music not hiring DJs or promoting your club.
ReplyDeleteWow Sean, thanks for stepping in. Dox's post is perfectly OK. He asked me about it - and I recommended that he post about Soundproof. We've posted about SL clubs before - the opening of the Dirty Glass, closing of the Hacienda, the opening of Monastery of Sound.
ReplyDeleteI'll start a 'Venues' page & post this there and other clubs in SL can post a paragraph & a picture on the page. Any IC author can jump in & edit the page - and we're all SL DJs - so really by all means, publicize your clubs.
A gut instinct tells me we should make the list alphabetic. This weekend, I'll send a notice out in the Indie Cantina group & post up any club that replies.
Fair enough, however I'll refrain from advertising any venues here thanks tho. There's enough spam in SL with the groups and stuff. I do appreciate the venue advert specific page tho thanks!
