For years there it seemed that there was very little fun going on in Cincinnati nightlife. That has all changed:
Jacob's has a kick ass 80s night every Friday with more hopping nights popping up as monthly and every-other-week events.
Plush has come into its own, our favorite night there is a monthly called "Boys & Girls" usually the last Saturday of the month. The DJ duo Boy Radio spin Brit-Beat, Indie, Glam, Mod, 60's & local music. After bringing you a hot local or regional (sometimes far traveling) band.
The Southgate House has really filled the void needed for AMAZING shows from up-and-coming and under rated bands. A good example is tonight: The Raveonettes are playing.
So, no more complaining about 'ol conservative Cincinnati
I would come and see The Raveonettes just for the name. My friend told about a promoter's filing system once. Some bands would get booked on the name alone. Cincinatti has to be better than Chicago. Anything is.
Hi guys, it's Josie. I can't wait for this but I must admit I'm having a hard time deciding which Madonna I will be. My boyfriend already has his idea in the planning stages, while I'm left behind in the land of confusion...
I would go as the grizzled Madonna that ties herself up in those yoga/contortionist poses. I love that. Oh, and I would also be writing a children's book while my legs were wrapped around my neck.

The infamous Empira State's one "woman" show at 10pm. The dancefloor opens directly following.
Thank you for giving me a real reason to leave the house. It was a great time, see you February 12th! The music selection was great and it's the most fun crowd I've seen there in ages. Oh, Empira was fabulous as well.
The squeeling was actually me screaming with joy, which began I believe, with The Communards. Took me back! You just do not hear an eclectic mix like you played. Thanks again babies
Hey!!! How did I miss my old record cover up there? You guys are cruel.
This party sounds hot. Why don't you do it in new York? And I love Love Love the invite. My only crit. is that you don't play a big enough variety of music. What, no Celtic-Dark-Wave-Jungle-Trance-Punjabi-House????
Once we get it going really solid here, we may take it on the road... We've had someone in Chicago say they were interested.
We do take requests, so if you let us know your favorite Celtic-Dark-Wave-Jungle-Trance-Punjabi-House artist we'll mix it into some Japanese-Vis-Swing-Breakbeat.
We're just trying to get someone to come visit us for a change
Oh, and we're starting to get some collaborations going too... This guy Derrik who is a one man electro act called: One Man Shooter approached us to perform... Possibly in March. Read his bio, It had me laughing so hard I was in tears.
He's such a freak, and has a wicked sense of humor.
