SUBduction presents ::: KASTLE (TOMORROW AT THE GOODLIFE!)

TOMORROW (5/19) AT THE GOODLIFE (map) be there for this if you're looking to rupture your eardrums with sweet sweet sounds and butt with the rhythm. If you even vaguely like dancing, R&B, dubstep, dancing, parties, dance parties, after parties and after-after parties, you need to check out this night. KASTLE (B.Rich alias) has been beachbombin in Miami but hasn't forgotten about us and is dropping this night along with NYC's Atropolis, Worcester's Coracola and Boston's General Motor (of drinkmusik). You have never heard this stuff before but you will approve, o, you will approve.

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS BANKSY

If you have the day off, I suggest you explore Chinatown and Cambridge to search for Bansky's graffiti before it's painted over. 

bostonist.com saw Banksy in Boston (Chinatown, to be specific) earlier today, but it seems the famed street artist may have made his way over to 1 Essex Street in Central Square as well.
