By purchasing a ticket to the Manhattan Project concert at the Waiting Room tonight, you are consenting to an experiment based around your auditory response systems and kinetic energy. The hypothesis is that the sounds of the Rochester based EDM duo will ignite your motor system, inspire sporadic dancing, increase your dopamine levels, and annihilate anxieties and other bad vibes. They are also known to include clever re-imaginings of classic themes in their set, from 2001: A Space Odyssey to Knight Rider. You can do a trial run at home by downloading their EP here.

Before that Fat Man falls on your Little Boy, you've got to pre-game for the apocalypse in accordance with your pre-operative instructions. If you've never been invited before, Armageddon Party is as visually stimulating as they are sonically proficient. Pollock-esque backdrops, sci-fi hallucinations, and dancing men with giant white domes for heads have all been included as visual components of past concerts. You'll have to re-hydrate after their set shakes you up, and if you dig their flavor you can catch them again at the Valentine's Day Vampire Masquerade at the Hotel Lafayette.

Doors at 9PM, 18+ and $12 in advance.
