Panic Night w/ DJ Pogo @ Smartbar

After Luna plays upstairs at the Metro, Panic tonight as DJ Pogo spins indie/Britpop/nu-wave/classic alt./English 80's tonight and every Wednesday at Smartbar located at 3730 N. Clark, Chicago. Music is going 10pm-late (21+, tickets are a measly $5).

Also of note: Panic's official hours are going to be 9pm until 2am...the Smartbar folks want to then extend to you the opportunity to spin from 2am until 4am. Have you been hoping to find a gig? Any gig? Have you been spinning records in your room hoping to find a place to play in front of other people? Want to impress your friends by spinning at a place like Smartbar? The folks who run Panic have been charged with finding a rotating group of guest dj's for this slot...and there's a chance that once you get in, you could become semi-permanent. Contact DJ Pogo at: pogo{at}q101{dot}com if you're interested.
