Future Rock + Prepschool (Live P.A.) tonight at 2720 Cherokee

“Future Rock is electronic sensory overload. The trio has steadily been touring the US, electrifying audiences and developing a dedicated following during their journey. Their legendary late night performances at festivals and after-parties have quickly confirmed their status at the top of the live electronic scene. Coupled with an explosive light show, FR certifies an unparalleled multi-sense experience. The Chicago-based trio exhibits an uncommon grasp of minimalist, yet visceral, rock. Skillfully manipulating live loops, synthesizers, filters and an electronic drum kit, the trio succeeds in creating a larger-than-life sound that sends crowds into frenzies.” – futurerock.net

Arch Reactor space for artistic and technological pursuits comes to Cherokee Street

Arch Reactor Hackerspace invites you to our grand opening!

We've been hard at work whipping our new space into shape and now we want everyone to come see it!

Are you a self-described 'techie' that is looking for your niche? Arch Reactor, St. Louis's first Hackerspace is a co-op workshop and club for techies, tinkers and free thinkers. Part arts and technology clubhouse, part training ground for new skills and knowledge, Arch Reactor is a place for residents of St. Louis and surrounding areas to share and receive educational information and training on various topics and skills with access to the tools you otherwise couldn't afford on your own. We offer a work space for all kinds of artistic and technologic pursuits.

Saturday, January 30, from 4:00-10:00 p.m. the group is hosting an public open house in their new space for anyone interested in learning more about the group. The space is on the second floor of 904 Cherokee St. (near the Arsenal St. exit off of Hwy 55). There will be several presentations on different topics by group members and the group will be showcasing several projects and activities, such as a MakerBot, a life-sized version of the game Jenga, a Japanese Arcade Game tournament and other fun interactive exhibits.

This event is free to all. Drinks and refreshments will be offered for a donation.

Tell your friends! Tell your neighbors! Tell anyone that's interested in building, learning and above all, DOING!

Find out more at www.archreactor.org or email us for more information.
