Monochrome of Nuances

The perfect party to start the new year - a new party, with a twist of the unusual. Some of Kansai's most beautiful drag queens will entertain with their fantastic show and DJing, and Mama!Milk, the famous squeezebox and double bass duo (who have recorded with chart-topping nu-cabaret jazz act Ego Wrappin') will certainly turn up the heat. Welcome to a night of sketchy socialising for the adult with wits.

LIVE: MAMA!MILK. DJs: Ludmira, Yossy, Foxy-O.
