Resident DJ: DJ Fact.50
DJ FACT.50 (or simply... Josh), is one of the more
eclectic DJ's working in the bay area today. A DJ with ten years of
mixing under his belt. Most of his sets consist of very atmospheric
tracks, that flow naturally into each other. He hates making jarring
transitions, and above all else loves to take requests and pay attention
to what the patrons at his gigs want to hear.
At Trickster,
he always forms his sets around the theme of each event. Mixing a wide
range of musical genres from different cultures and time periods to
create a one of a kind aural experience.
You can follow his upcoming gigs, and special promotional mixes at:

Charles Gatewood
"If you don't already own one of Charles
Gatewood's photographs, books or videos, you have no right to call
yourself a member of the underground. This ever curious chronicler of
the culturally peculiar has been taking photographs for 30 years, and he
shows no signs of slowing down." - Paper Magazine
Starting with artistic nude photography, William S.
Burroughs and Wall Street in the 1960s and 1970s, his subjects expanded
in the 1980s to include radical sex practices, s/m, bondage and
discipline, dominance and submission. In the 90s Gatewood photographed
modern primitives, erotic tattooing, extreme body piercing and blood
sports. Now he web surfs to find twenty-first century tattooed and messy
girls, goths and vampires, radical pagans, Burning Man and many other
kinky kinds of people.

Tom Jonesing is...
Dean Mermell (The Tickler) and Steffanos X (Tantric Tom).
For 9 years Tom Jonesing was a 10 piece juggernaut that sported a
horn section, 3 backup singers, and a number of unlicensed and
extremely dangerous go-go dancers.
Now,
we're a duo of piano and voice; still playing the music of Tom Jones,
with a few of our own ideas thrown in for the sake of artistic
confusion. We're also available as a hard rocking 4 piece band,
featuring Kevin Witte on bass and Robin Bordow on drums. We
play The Black and White Ball, cruise ships, swanky nightclubs, and
private events (even a bachelorrette party in a yurt). We're brave and
strong. We'll rock, we'll croon. We'll even bring the piano. www.tomjonesing.com/

"Chris Mallett is certainly one of the next generation of American
classical guitarists' brightest lights. His incisive performances are
infused with irresistable virtuosity and passion. He is a guitarist to
watch."
-Stephen Aron, Oberlin Conservatory of Music

Pi: The Physical Comedy Troupe is a collective of clowns not easy to forget. You could describe them as a combination of Charlie Chaplin, Saturday Night Live, and Looney Toons. Their crazy characters and high level circus skills have been known to induce labor. No really she laughed that hard...
