Hey guys, Jo Schüftan here! I want to personally invite all of you to join me as I celebrate my 32nd birthday at Santos Party House TONIGHT in New York City. It has been over a year since an underground Heavy Music show has taken place at the venue, so lets show them what we can all collectively do, this way they will have us back and the entire scene wins!
Tonight I got an pretty impressive lineup for you as part of the 2012 Project Independent Showcase! While there are some naysayers out there when it comes to this amazing movement that is all about supporting the underground, I can tell you that Jeff Totten (CEO of Project Independent) does for the exact reasons I do. This is ultimately the reason why for the second year in a row we are joining forces with them.
The musical agenda for tonight will make this a very memorable night, and thankfully you can watch from wherever the hell you are, if for some reason you can't join this awesome show/party! Here is the link to the webcast (scheduled to begin at 8:30 PM): www.projectindependent.net/webcast
