Friday, November 6th, Strangelove pays tribute to NINE INCH NAILS. In the back room, DJs Tomas Diablo (Villainy) , Joe Radio (Death Guild), and Orko (Dancing Ghosts) play the best of Nine Inch Nails and like-minded industrial, electro, and goth. In the front room, DJs Unit 77 (Attack Haus) and Prince Charming (Apocalypso) spin dark 80s and new wave.

We will be giving away tickets to see NITZER EBB at SLIM’S on Wednesday, November 18th. ( www.slims-sf.com/slims-bin/showcal )


20 years ago, Trent Reznor took advantage of his position as a handyman and janitor at a music studio to record and develop his own music. He played most of the instruments himself, and sequenced it all on a Macintosh Plus. The end result was ‘Pretty Hate Machine’, the album that introduced emotion and catchy riffs to industrial music, and introduced industrial music to a whole new audience. Reznor would go on to become THE voice of the 90s, noisily aggressive and coldly detached, and tortured by betrayal and self-obsession. His influence can be heard in virtually every electro-industrial act that came after him.

In April of 2009, Trent Reznor announced that he was retiring Nine Inch Nails, possibly for good. But we can’t expect him to stay quiet for too long. He has recently released a series of video “jam-sessions” with Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy, covering influential tracks like Joy Division’s ‘Atmosphere’, the Normal’s ‘Warm Leatherette’, and Lou Reed’s ‘Nightclubbing’. And Gary Numan has announced that he will be working on new music with Trent Reznor next year. NIN is dead – long live Trent Reznor and his incredible music and passion.

Strangelove is every first Friday at the CAT CLUB (Folsom and 8th). With different themes and guests every month, there’s always something new and interesting at Strangelove.
