Just for tonight, we're letting our pals at Outward Bound Mixtape Sessions host this super rad lineup at the Chateau. Door at 9, music at 10 PM, over by 1. BYOB & $5 (suggested donation) for the touring acts!

November 12 marks the one year anniversary of our first show at the Chateau Virago: we've hosted 50+ acts, including three album releases, and at least a dozen touring performers. We've heard some extraordinary and beautiful things, danced, yelled, and hugged it out, and we're looking forward to a whole new year of that and more! Thank you to everyone who has participated in any fashion in our DIY experiment. We love you. (except that guy who broke the window -- we don't like you very much, but we're glad no one got hurt)

For interest's sake here's a list of all the bands and performers we've hosted. Some shows we put together and some were brought to us (and sometimes on very short notice!). We can't wait to see what the next year brings!
