The crew behind Auckland's just-departed regular gay night Sohomo are back presenting special guest US electro band The Villians in their only New Zealand concert. Los Angeles DJ troupe The Villains are L.A Mad V and Koncept, "who have been ripping apart the US party scene and the world's blog-sphere with killer chart topping remixes a pure penchant to party," says their MySpace page. The first 'Sohomo presents…' party will happen this Thursday 21 May at the Bacco Room at Toto's on Nelson Street. Promoter Paul Phillips says he now plans to bring relatively high profile appropriate international artists to Kiwi shores for concerts on a regular basis: "roughly once a month to every six weeks." This Thursday's concert is also the official album release party for Bloc Party's Intimacy Remixed album, featuring The Villians' Ares Remix. Booking details are on the UnderTheRadar website. The Villians' remix of Bloc Party's track Ares is shown below.
