Stay tuned as we’ll bring more updates on this unique event, which will be reaching out to Seattle’s Brazilian and Dance communities. In the meantime, check out a sample of Sujinho’s ridiculously quick mixing style….

Relaunch Party Wrap-up

•August 8, 2007 • Leave a Comment

The Helio SequenceWow….Monday’s 3 Year Anniversary & ReLaunch Party was a huge success. Thanks to friends new and old for turning out….700 of you to be exact! Was an honor to host The Helio Sequence and Lifesavas for the musical mash-up event. Special shouts go out to our sponsors, Vitamin Water, Dewars, and PBR, for helping us keep it a FREE to the public event, and of course, huge thanks to our media sponsors The Stranger and KEXP….they’ve shown unbelievable support as we look towards Nectar’s new direction.

The Stranger was there to cover the event:
Last night–super-sold-out, sporting a diverse lineup of NW acts spanning the best in techno, hiphop, and rock–was a proper introduction to the new Nectar. Seattle is in for a huge treat. Just as some moves in the nightlife scene make the city smaller, blowing up Nectar will make it that much bigger…..read more

Pics Galore from the event can be found on Justin Renney’s dashing website

New nectarlounge.com & the “Nog”!

•August 8, 2007 • Leave a Comment

What better way to start off the new Nectar Venue Blog, or The Nog, by announcing the launching of the brand new nectarlounge.com. Designed by our favorite designer Joel Eby of 6trak, this little smooth operator is up and running, and should reach a full sprint by week’s end. Visit often as nectarlounge.com and The Nog will be chocked full of goodies and updates on shows, upcoming events, news, and all things Nectar related. We’d like to think of ourselves as a little community and hope The Nog will serve as a place to catch up on the latest here, as well as provide a forum for community feedback. We’ll have photos, vid clips, and the occasional mp3 avail for download….so come again….

Also, in case you’re new to Nectar or weren’t aware of all the big changes going on over here, catch up by reading this article from the Seattle Weekly.
