Nagoya’s Upcoming Events

July 5, 2008

Friday, August 27

Chill Out Weekend @ Sarmale in Shinsakae from 17:30
One of the best ways to beat the heat this & every weekend: a BBQ & drinks on the new terrace of the best Romanian restaurant in Japan!  Drinking beer & grilling meat on the front porch, just like back home in Tennessee… without all the racism & cousin-marrying.  Beers only 398 yen, and there a music & a dance show starting at 19:30.  Show charge: 1000 yen.

Banquet @ Radix in Tsurumai from 22:00
This monthly party always delivers the hottest new dance music.  ADV 1500 / DOOR 2000 (+1 Drink Purchase)

Club Bambi @ Club Mago in Shinsakae from 22:00
But, if it’s electro that you want, then this new event should be your destination, since it features some of the best DJs from Nagoya & Tokyo for that banging sound.  The guests include Mms. Yulia, NME, MA5AKAZ & many more.  WITH FLYER 2000 / DOOR 2500

Soul Food @ Club Arena in Sakae from 2:00 AM
You can enjoy DJ Andy S’ addictive mix of soulful funky vocal house every Friday night.  When all the other clubs have gone dull, Andy is just getting started.  Check the map here.

Sunday, August 29

Harmonium Parlour @ Plastic Factory in Imaike from 19:00
Local indie band Semi-On is back from their successful tour of the UK, and so is their popular monthly open mic & art space.  In the upstairs gallery this month is the talented work of Yuuki Inagawa.  On the main stage there will be a special performance by Osaka band Yusuke Joekou.  As always, this family-friendly event is smoke-free and only 1000 yen at the door, which comes with a free drink.

Summer Party @ Shonai Park from 12:00
The weather may be hot Hot HOT, but that won’t stop the fun-providers of International BBQ.  They always provide the best in summer grilling out with a group of other locals looking for a good time.  And if you’re worried about spontaneously combusting all over the hamburgers, fear not!  They have a tent & plenty of ice to help keep you cool.  All you can eat & drink for a very low price.

Anison Matsuri @ Club Spiral in Sakae from 15:00
Otaku rejoice!  This seasonal dance festival celebrating all those addictions that help maintain your status as a parasite single is back.  Featuring the best DJs around spinning original & dance remixes of your favorite anime & video game music all night long.

JOY vol. 20 @ Café Domina from 19:00
The JOY crew is known for having one Nagoya’s wildest scenes, which is exactly what you get when you bring together Japanese Techno & Hardcore music and mix it with disturbingly kawaii consumes, glow sticks & cheesecake; my blood-sugar level spikes at the mere thought of it.  DJs Kekke, Mi-YA, Yoshitomo, Motton, crushmonkey, CATLiKE & more.  DOOR 1500 / ADV 1500 (1D)

Monday, August 30

English Teachers Shoot @ Shooters in Fushimi from 6AM
While NagMag is easily the hottest news in the dying media known as Print, the new Web series, English Teachers has been gaining notoriety in the 21st century.  Produced by Nameless Films, who brought such important documentaries like Behind Forgotten Eyes & Life As Dad to the world, this new series presents an insightful & comedic look at the lives of the foreign teachers in Japan.  It’s your life, only more relevant because it’s on TV… or at least YouTube.  If you want to be a part of the project that is going to help put Nagoya back on the world stage, after the tanking of Toyota, than be at Shooters this Monday at 6 in the morning.  Yeah, that is early, but that Hollywood magic don’t come easy!  They need 30 to 40 extras of all types, so sign up now on Facebook or contact them by email.  Break a leg!

Wednesday, September 1

Hump Night @ Red Rock in Sakae from 20:00 – 22:00
1500 yen for all you can drink for 2 hours is a pretty good deal.  However, add to the fact that the delicious food at Red Rock is always half-priced during happy hour (17:00 – 19:00), and you can see why the Rock should be your first stop after work on any night of the week.

Club Mago 14th Anniversary Party in Shinsake from 22:00
What better way to celebrate the birthday of one of Nagoya’s hippest clubs than by inviting nearly every DJ that helps make it such a special place for the freshest of dance tracks.  On this night you can hear DJs Ogawa, Apollo, SE-1, Hattori & Sonic Weapon, just to name a few.  ADV 2500 / DOOR 3000 (1D)

DJ PauloAtNight @ MyBar in Sakae from 20:30
Arena Dance Club’s #1 resident DJ is going to be dropping his high energy mix of house, hip hop & reggaeton at MyBar, just across the street from the Nagoya TV Tower.  The food is excellent, the drinks are cold & the staff is HOT; what more incentive do you need?  OK, OK.  The admission is FREE!  Happy now?

Speed Dating @ Nagoya Tsurumai City Public Hall from 18:00
Speed-dating is all the rage these days for people who either (A) can’t be bothered to spend more than 15 minutes to find that right person or (B) are tired of being bothered by the wrong person in bars & clubs.  Whatever the reasons, my sources indicate that this semi-regular get together always has a nice mix of ladies & gentleman from around the world.  If I was single, I would totally be there!  There is only space for 40 men & 40 women, so reserve your spots now.  ADV 2500 (men) & 2000 (women) / DOOR +500 yen

Re-mix 2010 @ Diamond Hall & Apollo Theater from 13:15
Oh, woe is me.  Hoobastank is sold out.  Whatever shall I do?  Well, I guess I could just settle for this amazing lineup of J-bands including Avengers in Sci-Fi, OGRE YOU ASSHOLE, Beat Crusaders, Polysics & many more.  That’s 100% less suck than Hoobastank at a fraction of the cost; only 4,000 yen!

feuerwerk @ Club JB’s in Sakae from 22:00
German for “fireworks”, this strangely-named night of house & techno music features English DJ Christopher Sperol and several local lads with a similar sound.  ADV 2500 / DOOR 3000
