Wax Trax! Records Event Grows Even Larger Adds Even More DJ Shows And Special Guests

Wax Trax! Records Event Grows Even Larger Adds Even More DJ Shows And Special Guests

Like seeing the premier of the Wax Trax! Records Documentary isn’t good enough, the organizers keep adding more and more special events to make that Industrial weekend even greater.

They announced DJ sets from members of Front 242 will be spinning live at Berlin Nightclub and Jello Biafra at Liar’s Club for his incredibly Strange Dance Party, but now they ad an even more incredible event. A rare DJ set by founding member of Bauhaus and Love and Rockets, David J!

The weekend, slowly building it self up as the greatest resurgence of Chicago Industrial since it’s heyday, will know be filled with even more with the addition of David J.

Here is what the event organizers have to say about it all:

Howdy again Wax Trax! people,

So it looks like our IA: Wax Trax! Documentary weekend here in Chicago is shaping up to be quite a mighty-nice event!

Tickets for the April 1st artist panels have been going fast and the VIP and Super VIP options sold out almost immediately. General Admission tickets are available here

But guess what?…Yep-In addition to the Saturday event at the Vic Theatre, we have yet another pretty bitchin’ add-on to launch the weekend for even more Wax Trax! awesomeness.

In addition to special DJ nights from members of FRONT 242 (Berlin Nightclub) and Jello Biafra’s Incredibly Strange Dance Party (Liar’s Club)

We thought we would bring in another important guest DJ that is important to the original Wax Trax! story and has the perfect lineage to represent the iconic Lincoln Ave store.
