The DIRTY ROTTEN IMBECILES’ history begins on May 2, 1982 around 4:00pm, in the city of Houston, TX. It was on this day that the musically aggressive quartet we now know as D.R.I. made their first Dirty Rotten noise and called it a song.

The Community Center for the Performing Arts is pleased to welcome back Emo Nite at the WOW Hall on Friday, October 30th. Dance with us from 9PM until 1AM!“Not a band. Not DJ’s. We throw parties for the music we love.”  What started as an impromptu party at a small dive bar in Los Angeles has now turned into a recurring community-driven event in over 50 cities internationally. Emo Nite creates a space for people to passionately sing along to their favorite emo/pop-punk songs, forge new friendships, and be unapologetically themselves. 

In the past few years Cherry Poppin’ Daddies have become the kind of band that you would want to book if you were throwing a soiree at the Gatsby mansion. Penning elegant, lush, pitch perfect arrangements of much of the great American songbook, from Cole Porter to Frank Sinatra, the Daddies have surprised many- likely familiar with them from the early 90’s- whose limited exposure to the band undoubtedly consists of an image of spray painted vans careening across the US as an iconoclastic, misfit part of an already marginalized punk/ska scene.

Mystery Skulls is the genre-blurring project of singer, songwriter and producer Luis Dubuc, fusing electronic music, dance, neo-soul and vintage disco into a sound built equally for headphones and packed dance floors.

Since the late 2000s, Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar has explored new approached to the West African desert blues first popularized by bands like Tinariwen and Tartit. His songs include acoustic odes to his arid homeland, but also psych-rock odysseys supercharged with galloping rhythms and rock-star techniques. Moctar was born in the mid-’80s in Tchintabaraden, Niger.
