Happenings during Covid Times

Whew! So I wanted to check in our Blog since it’s been…wait, how many years since we kept up with this? Particularly with some updates on how you can keep up with our music during the “dark days of Covid”.

Firstly, we hope that you’re all doing all right, Covid aside, we know that this has been a particularly difficult year. Lots of our friends and neighbors suffering from depression and really just trying to do whatever can be done to stay productive and stay social while staying safe/compliant isn’t easy for anyone. So, again, we hope that you and your loved ones are hanging tough right now.

As I type this Pyramid Club has still not reopened and if we were to guess our expectations are that it will not open until some point in 2021, and if I were a betting man I would put $20 on April. But I’m not and I don’t have $20 to throw away right now so I’m just openly speculating. As an alternative my DJ partner, Janssen, has taken to Twitch (as have many of the nightclub DJs) and does virtual club nights with live chat and requests.

You can find and subscribe to him on Twitch @ Twitch.tv/Cityasylum or just searching City Asylum should bring his page up.

I’ve been working on trying to put together a live internet radio broadcast, a project that had MANY more moving parts than I had originally anticipated, but am pretty much set up to go. Our player can be found right on our website at noreturnpostpunksociety.com/radio

My hope is to do sort of a 9-5 broadcast monday through friday, or possibly 12-5, and one of those days I’ll make it a live set, the rest being premixes. It’s figuring out those little details, like “when will I be reliably available to do broadcasts?” Ultimately I’d like to have something set up that you all reliably know will be playing on a day to day basis whenever you’re in the mood. And as always it’s a mix of new, classic, and obscure stuff.

But, anyhow, that’s what we’ve been working on and where you’ll be able to hear and see us. Currently we’re preparing for a Halloween live stream on twitch.tv/cityasylum on Halloween at 10pm until 4am. We’ll have lights, fog, and blue tooth speakers. It’ll be our first time DJing together since back in March at the Pyramid Club so we’re jazzed for it.

Stay safe out there friends!
