Jan. 17 is about to get a lot happier at Animas City Theatre, 128 E. College Drive, when Warsaw and DJ I-Gene take over for the 5.2.8 Happy Hour Series. The show is sponsored by WeFill.
Doors for the 21-and older-show open at 5 p.m., and the show kicks off with DJ I-Gene from 5 to 6 p.m. Warsaw then will play from 6 to 8 p.m.
“Warsaw Poland Bros. have played everywhere, with everyone in most of North America and Hawaii, while releasing several nationally distributed CDs fueled by their own indie start up label, Invisible Mass Records,” according to ACT. “When Warsaw comes to town, you’ll be dancing, drinking and partying with a zeal you never knew you had, so you might as well call in sick, because they’ll be coming around soon.”
Tickets cost $10 and are available online at http://tinyurl.com/t97vmjpe.
