This Thursday night, Layer 23 and The Good Hurt present Upgrade, a steamy night of geek chic electro featuring a rare live performance by the inseparable hetero-life partner duo who virtually invented the genre, Telesonic Commander.
Some of you may already know Telesonic Commander from their live Ustream shows (of which I am a frequent listener and fan). Based on those performances, I expect to see flashy jumpsuits, exotic mustaches and just a taste of loveless copulation. If you want to preview their sound, check out the track, “Game Set Match” here.
There will also be music by DJs D++, Delicious Mix and Aeon Flux, free giveaways by IHEARTCOMIX, photos by Matador y Toros and video visuals by Verdilak.
According to the event organizers, Upgrade is a night for “hip geeks” looking to get away from the crowded Hollywood spots and the 18+ dance clubs. The idea is to have a place where you can dance or just tuck your laptop into a dark corner and geek out while listening to some cool electro beats – everything from EBM to IDM, breakbeat to 8-Bit, Electroclash to Eurotrash.
“While we will make sure the music is danceable, we also want to encourage people to bring their PDAs and laptops and just sit in one of the booths surfing the web or ‘working’ while enjoying a nice cold beer and music,” said German Rivera, the man behind the event.
Upgrade will be hosted by The Good Hurt, notorious for its medical themed bar maidens dressed in sexy nurse outfits who are on call all night long in case of emergency. RSVP via the Facebook event page, stat!

There are hip geeks?
Yes! A rare breed, distinguishable only by their ability to dress fashionably while writing code.
Come for the jumpsuits, stay for the loveless copulation. Or is it vice-versa?
Too bad we don’t get a “like button” here as this is a great post!
Thanks, Frazgo! I am flattered you think so. Was it the loveless copulation that pulled you in?
Are hip geeks the people that like to imagine that they were outcasts and not part of the cool crowd in high school, but who in fact were, with just more unusual clothing?
Loveless copulation *always* pulls me in.
Lucinda, That’s exactly how I feel about the JUMPSUITS! ;-)
Is the loveless copulation only on-stage, or will that be an option in the booths as well? I’m asking for a friend.
Burns! It’s going to be everywhere. Possibly even behind the bar and in the restrooms, so bring some condoms and some of that hand sanitizer.
