Tonight on the corridor
This one is built around the music videos, not just the songs, so expect the visuals to be half the show. Insideout is a small room, which means the dance floor gets warm fast and the energy tends to compound on itself once the crowd commits. Tickets are presale only, so show up without one...
Three DJs, one of them a last-minute-feeling 'special guest' wildcard, spinning a goth night at El Rey on a Friday that runs until 10 p.m. local time.
