The Rubix Room presents: Joy Division Night Featuring – Boy Division – at Ibiza Bar – Huntington Beach, CA – March 24, 2012

If you're tired of driving all the way to Los Angeles for 80's music and 80's clubs, rejoice, because on Saturday March 24, 80's dance club The Rubix Room is coming to Ibiza Bar & Nightclub in Huntington Beach. The event will consist of 80's and new wave, however, the event is specifically themed to be Joy Division night. Joy Division cover band Boy Division will be performing,

and DJs Eric Dead, John The Post Man, and Virtigo will be providing the best of the 80's. The Rubix Room will be celebrating DJ Virtigo's birthday.

The Rubix Room, which is an 80's dance club enabled by local disc jockey DJ Virtigo, has been consistently providing 80's events in Orange County for the last two years. DJ Virtigo specializes in new wave, death rock, post punk, industrial, and minimal synth, but has also provided other genres of music in his events. DJ Virtigo said he also spins "Funk, oldies/Motown, rockabilly, psychobilly, classic rock, garage, and 90's house."

DJ Virtigo has not only participated in and performed at local events, but he has also been the creator and mastermind of several renowned gigs in the Orange County area. DJ Virtigo created and ran The Wreck Hall, a weekly free music event that spanned successfully over the last two years and showcased local bands from LA and the OC. He also created Wreck Fest and Grrrl Edition, the latter which was a celebration of women in arts and music. Most of DJ Virtigo's events have provided grounds for bands, live music, vendors, and art, overall providing a vessel for the artistic scene in Orange County to further flourish. Some of the bands that have performed at DJ Virtigo's events range from prominent names like 45 Grave, Radioactive Chicken Heads, and The Tequila Worms. Other bands range from The Vampz, Inazuma, The Fly Traps, Black Mambas, Slash O Matic, Tearist, The Stitched Lips, and Urinal Cakes.

When asked how DJ Virtigo got his name, DJ Virtigo said, "Virtigo was my raver nickname when I was heavily into gabber and jungle, no trance here, when I was an underground in the 90's. The member of a local party crew called me out in a dance battle. He said I gave him vertigo, and that's how I got my name."

The Rubix Room, celebrating DJ Virtigo's birthday at the "gay owned and operated" Ibiza Bar & Nightclub in Huntington Beach, is 21+, free, and takes Saturday March 24. The event starts at 9 p.m.
