Join us July 30th as we begin the battle for "The Title" of "Laptronica:
World Champion." This semifinals round will include Six teams that will
compete head to head in a battle of music and mayhem. Chosen by the
audience and a panel of celebrity judges the three top teams will move on
to the finals, a three-way cage match, to be held later this summer.
Laptronica was developed as the response to a cliché. When people think of
electronic music events they tend to think of some pasty white guy sitting
behind a laptop pushing some buttons and moving his mouse. Combining
Professional Wrestling-style theatrics with wild electronic beats,
Laptronica is part performance, and part music: a "marriage of the sublime
and absurd."
Ever evolving, each event adds to the growing Laptronica story line,
alliances will be broken, new teams will be introduced, treaties and
treachery will ensue.
TEAM SUPPORTERS may enter for $5 provided they bring a posterboard with
the name of their favorite team or a slogan supporting them (or insulting
their LEAST favorite team), wear a tshirt with the names of any of the
contenders, body-paint their person with a team name or slogan, or get a
tattoo of any of the condenders. Any other creative promotion of a team is
encouraged.
There will be drink specials all night at The Funky Buddha.
