Chase Tail and Pietro are at it again! Kahle Davis (owner of the Star Bar) is gonna give them another chance to prove they can throw a Summertime Party. Last year when they DJ'ed together, no one showed up and Kahle got very mad and threw them out in the street.
He told Chase and Pietro, "You will never work in this damn town again!" Chase and Pietro got very depressed and started drinking a lot and never worked together since.
A year has passed and Kahle Davis has forgave them and is willing to give them ONE MORE CHANCE. Please come out to Summertime Wednesday June 15. Chase and Pietro will be playing tunes that will give you cancerous sunburns, the tracks are that hot!
Music, $2 cheap pbrs, limbo sticks, tiki torches. Girls in bikinis, men in bikinis, sand, cigarettes, suntans and magik.

Friday June 3rd
returns to Star Community Bar!
The audience will witness a false prophet tell of his background meeting a betrayed angel. Alice Cooper meets the Book of Mormon meets the Rocky Horror Picture Show, the prophet will perform magic tricks under the guise of miracles and attempt to convert the audience. There will be prophecy, music, praise & worship, communion, and if the spirit moves maybe even a baptism.
Simultaneously lampooning Pentecostalism and the Occult, Phalse Prophet feels just because someone spews some wicked words, or because they feel power during a worship song, doesn't mean that the underlying theology is true.
Join us as we poke fun at religious imposters everywhere and put on a service to everybody's favorite faux demon,
Abezethibou.
