If like us, you’ve had some extra time on your hands and recently browsed to the site on your sassy mobular talk device, you may have noticed that the words & links & letters are sized just right.

It’s no coincidence that our first “new” event post of the year is essentially the first event that we’ve been excited about in a really long time.

There’s gonna be a special space setup and a mini cocktail menu, but add Rick Wilhite of the 3 Chairs from Detroit for some proper disco action, and well… sold.

Southside Disco stalwart Rahaan, Still Music impresario Jerome Derradji, and our favorite latin floorrocker Hernan Sanchez on the bill as well… double sold.

Check the 120 website or the facebook event page for tix and rsvp info.

We’ll also over time, migrate the content from our previous site, which we’ll still make viewable for old times sake.

Thanks for staying tuned in!
