One of my favorite DJs, Nick Terranova aka Starkillers, will be at Beta Nightclub in Denver Thursday, May 1st.
Best known for “Discoteka” and “Scream,” they’ve also done popular remixes of Seal’s Killer. He’ll be performing with Austin Leeds and Jerome Farley.
I’ve never visited Beta and look forward to checking the place out. This new club is promoting itself as a “green” club, and although I’m skeptical of most corporate green claims Beta Nightclub has given some clear and simple ways of how they’re cutting down waste in the nightclub industry. (Cups cups and more cups.)
Check out Starkiller’s music on Myspace. Beta Nightclub is at 19th and Blake, downtown Denver. Their site also features a clip of Beta management discussing their green initiatives with a local TV news station. The entire Future Gringo team will be at this event. Unfortunately due to the economy no more free T-shirts. Say hello if you see me though - I’ll be wearing my favorite pants and need a haircut.

With some days off and down time in SoCal coming up I started watching the Twin Peaks Gold Box DVD set, and plan on getting through at least one season over the next few weeks.
This finally moved up my que in Netflix and I’ve been absolutely riveted by this series. “Life in the Undergrowth” was produced by the BBC in 2005. It documents and details insects and invertebrates across the world as they go about their daily activities of eating, mating, and protecting their homes and young.
I’ve been listening and rapidly downloading music from The Loose Cannons, an electronica group based in Cannonia, U.K. Headed by DJs Kaiser Saucy and “Lord Fader,” the duo blends irreverent lyrics with thumping bass lines and tight sampled edits. They’ve been compared to Daft Punk, but less sterile, and much more cheeky to use a word found in many reviews.
I watched what I consider to be the most bizarre movie I’ve seen in a long time: The Great Happiness Space, a documentary by director Jake Clennell. Clennel takes us deep into the world of Japanese host clubs in after hours Osaka. Here, young men spend their nights providing physical but mostly emotional attention to women - or clients as they’re referred to. In the early evening men pace the streets and woo women into a club, (not unlike men on the streets of Tijuana,) in hopes of scoring a wealthy girl in needs of lip service.
Despite an interruption mid show caused by a 10 minute long audio problem the 



I’ve been downloading some old Baby Mammoth songs from iTunes over the weekend.
