Prince and MJ Experience - Chicago

Prince and Michael Jackson fans celebrate at Beauty Bar as DJ Dave Paul from San Francisco mixes album cuts, remixes, rare tracks and hits from the two artists as well as songs by such ancillary acts as Sheila E., The Jackson 5, The Time and Janet Jackson. Beauty Bar - 1444 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, 8pm - 2:30am / $5 / 21+ Collectively, Prince and Michael Jackson helped define the early-'80s era of MTV, revolutionized both R&B and popular music, and influenced thousands of musicians worldwide. This party pays tribute to two of the greatest artists of our time. The music is far from the only thing happening at this party, there's theme dancing, a face-off between guests repping The Purple One or The King of Pop, and much, much more. This is the perfect night out to lounge with your friends, make some new friends, get your drink on, dance your @ss off and have the time of your life. "For ELEVEN years now, Dave Paul has hosted and DJ'ed at the brilliant "Prince vs. Michael Jackson" parties. As selections of hits, rarities, and remixes from both artists are presented over the course of the evening, audience members square off in funky battle, holding signs bearing the mug of their favored entertainer to judge which one is the true king of pop. This sure ain't the place for cynics, but Darling Nikki's and Dirty Diana's are all welcome to participate." - SF WEEKLY Radio Show http://www.mixcrate.com/bombhiphop/dj_mixes Facebook Group - http://www.facebook.com/groups/princeandmichael Website - http://bit.ly/pvsmj ABOUT THE DJ: Dave Paul began his music career in 1984, starting as a mobile dj and evolving into a prominent college radio dj, club dj, and remixer in San Francisco.
