We've gotten tired of everyone in this city trying to promote their night as a "rock and roll dance party" while totally forgetting the rock and roll, or trying to claim their electro or house nights are filled with "rock attitude." To these platitudes we say; Whatever.
The Bomb Squad is here to show the kids what it's really about. While many claim to spin an eclectic mix, while actually leaning heavy on the hip-hop or electro beats, we mean it. In our house Run D.M.C., The Misfits, Justice, David Bowie, Justin Timberlake, The New York Dolls, Jack White, The Rapture , James Brown, and Bad Brains literally rub elbows on the dance floor. If it's good, we'll play it, and you can dance to it.
The Bomb squad is populated by three Chicago based DJs: June Cleavage, Amber Waves, and DJ Tankboy. June Cleavage and Amber Waves made their name together with a dancetastic residency at The Pontiac, and DJ Tankboy has been spinning in countless Chicago clubs since 1995.
This trio has come together to claim Thursday nights at Liar's Club as their own. The core threesome will be holding down residency duties from week to week, while welcoming a slew of special guest DJs to help hold down the fort and fill the floor.
Time Out Chicago has even designated us a critic's choice this week and says, "This new weekly sounds hypereclectic, but interesting. If you can hang with Run D.M.C., Misfits, Justice and James Brown in one set, it's all yours."
It's on!
