Take two parts nostalgic Sunset Strip sleaze and one part modern metal sensibilities, mix well, and you have a shot through the heart: Wild Pleasures, pure party rock for the people. Including former members from local bad boys Widower and Ladykiller, quite the buzz has built up around their upcoming debut performance. To add to the anticipation, the reclusive Temple of Love opens things up. With members from Destroyer of Light, Witchcryer, and Mothership, their brand of dark rock is a must-see. The infamous DJ Devilwoman masters the ceremonies and there’s even a glam metal cocktail menu crafted just for the party.
