These words are a dream come true to any cancer patient. Scene promoter, DJ and frontman of electro industrial act Rein[Forced], Jim Semonik, returns to give the vile disease of cancer another pummeling with a ton of his friends, comrades, heroes and allies in Electronic Saviors 3:Remission. Jim, creator of the series, recently celebrated 5 years cancer free and is eager to share his gift with the world. He was diagnosed in 2008 with stage 2B colorectal cancer and has since made Electronic Saviors his dream project along with close friend Chase Dudley (boxed warning). The Electronic Saviors series has been one of the most successful compilation series in industrial scene history having already raised over 30K for charity. Semonik once again returns with an armada of talent to shake dance floors and crush eardrums. Brand new and exclusive tracks from Combichrist, 16 Volt, Hate Dept, Stromkern, Rein[Forced], Panic Lift, Ego Likeness, Left Spine Down, Aesthetic Perfection and many, many more make Electronic Saviors 3 an essential purchase. Limited to 1000 copies, this volume is expected to sell out quickly and become a collector's item. The Electronic Saviors series continues to grow with this 3rd volume. Jim once again dedicates this volume to anyone who has been a victim of cancer in any way, shape or form. http://electronicsaviors.com/ .::Love Hope Strength::. LHS was founded in 2007 by leukemia survivors Mike Peters (of the Welsh rock band The Alarm) and James Chippendale (president of Ascend Insurance Brokerage). As the world’s leading rock-and-roll cancer foundation, LHS primarily raises its funds through musical pilgrimages to majestic sites like Mt. Everest, Mt. Fuji and Machu Picchu. Rather than funding cancer research, LHS focuses on building and supporting cancer centers around the world, boosting awareness of global cancer needs, and expanding international bone marrow databases. One of LHS’s many accomplishments include purchasing Nepal’s first mammography and internal radiation machines and funding the construction of the first children’s cancer center in Tanzania. Through our partnership with Delete Blood Cancer, LHS frequently spearheads bone marrow drives at concerts and major musical events like Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits. LHS has added thousands of people to the national marrow database and found hundreds of matches for patients in need of bone marrow transplants. Headquartered in Denver, LHS now has chapters in the United Kingdom, Mexico and Australia. http://www.lovehopestrength.org/

Tuesday, May 13th 2014 Small's, Darque Productions and Doc Colony present: RELOADED featuring a live performance by LEAETHER STRIP Tickets: $15 in Advance/ $20 Day of Show On Sale NOW via www.smallsbardetroit.com 18+ welcome Doors @ 8pm. .::RELOADED::. Those that have attended the hugely successful RELOADED events at City Club in the past know that RELOADED is an event like none other. A full-scale environment with tons of moving parts, pieces and performers, it's truly something you have to witness to understand. From fire breathers to dominatrixes, burlesque dancers and DJs to live suspensions and video projections, this is truly and event not to be missed! Full line-up and performers list to be announced soon!) .::LEAETHERSTRIP::. LEAETHER STRIP is the solo-project of Danish electronic industrial artist Claus Larsen. First signed by the German Electro Label Zoth Ommog in 1989, LEAETHER STRIP quickly built a buzz as one of the most exciting emerging acts in Europe in the early '90s. After a very successful "Japanese Bodies" 12", the debut album ("The Pleasure of Penetration" " released in 1990) instantly established itself as a classic, featuring a punishing rhythm pace and aggressive electronic style with distorted vocals that he has since become renown for and that is often described as "LEAETHER STRIP"s trademark". The following albums and MCDs allowed LEAETHER STRIP to conquer the hearts of hundreds of thousands of fans of electronic industrial music across the world and to become one of the leading acts on the cult Zoth Ommog label. Both "Solitary Confinement" (1992) and "Underneath The Laughter" (1993) albums helped Claus Larsen establishing his position on the music map, reaching top sales in both the European and American electro scenes. While reminding the powerful angst seen in other electro acts such as FRONT 242, SKINNY PUPPY or even NINE INCH NAILS, LEAETHER STRIP rapidly got the reputation to be carrying a deeper message and meaning in his work through his very personal intense music and the sometimes emotional, sometimes political dimension of his lyrics. After a 5 year break from the music business, from 2000 - 2005, LEAETHER STRIP returned to the scene and since then have been very productive. 2009 Marked the return to the stage, and since then Claus and his partner have been playing shows around the world. LEAETHER STRIP shows are always very energetic and you can expect to hear songs from his whole repertoire. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Leaether-Strip/44724618037?ref=ts http://leaetherstrip.bandcamp.com/

Since City Club has decided to do away with the regular format on Fridays in favor of DUBSTEP, we've decided to provide an alternative for the people who did attend and enjoy the "industrial" format. ​Mike Higgins was actually quoted as saying "Industrial is dead" when he made the decision for the format switch. Hence, the name of our night, which is obviously very tongue-in-cheek….. As a wise person recently said in response to these events, "Industrial isn't dead, it just grew up and got tired of partying in a dumpster." With that being said, we hope to see some of you out supporting what could eventually turn out to be a very cool regular thing if enough people get behind it. With that in mind, we bring you…...
