Dear recent Orlando transplant:

Ok, so you just moved to Orlando from New York / Philly / Chicago / San Francisco / et al. You feel lost, uprooted, misplaced -- you're starting to think Orlando might suck. Eager to find some nightlife in this town, you go to Lattitudes on Church Street, Slingapour's on Wall Street and that mega-club on Orange Avenue owned by one of those Backstreet Boys (Orlando's finest celebrities). Maybe you even think International Drive, Citywalk or Downtown Disney is where everyone hangs out in this town. Now you really think Orlando sucks.

Well, you're wrong. There is more to this city than theme park "nightlife" and crappy clubs with guys wearing shiny shirts, but you have to know where to look. Instead of complaining about how lame Orlando is compared to your city of origin, why not get out there and support your new scene -- it's a lot better than you think! After all, you moved here for a reason, right? (I'm guessing to escape the cold weather.) So you can do one of two things: either 1) move back to the city you think is sooooo much more awesome or 2) quit bitchin', check the events below and DON'T SLEEP on the shit that is happening!

Please Respect Our Decadence

Re•spect:
To hold in esteem or honor

Dec•a•dence:
Unrestrained or excessive self-indulgence

What happens when experimental music project Monotron joins forces with the eclectically creative mind of mixmaster Cub? I'm not quite sure, but you better hold the unrestrained or excessive self-indulgence in esteem or honor.


Please Respect Our Decadence will be demonstrating their talents tonight at The Peacock Room. Imagine Moogs + Synths + Basslines + Beats + Old Movie Soundtracks = excellence in noise and sound. That, and the last time these two played together, Tigger costumes were involved. I'm just sayin'.
