WHAT: The Fuxedos' Debut Friggin' CD Release Party! Plus very special guests Killsonic, Quazar and the Bamboozled, and moxy phinx.

WHEN: This Friday, June 5. Doors at 8:30, moxy phinx starts at 9 pm sharp, Quazar at 10. The Fuxedos hit the stage with a bang at 11 pm, and Killsonic finishes things off starting at around midnight.

WHERE: The legendary Spaceland, 1717 Silver Lake Blvd., LA 90026. http://www.clubspaceland.com/

HOW MUCH: A ridiculous bargain at $8. Ridiculous, I tell you!

WHAT ELSE WHAT: Fux CDs (and posters) available for the first time ever at the show. Featuring powerful performances by the band, mighty mixing from Steve "Steve B" Baughman (50 Cent, Michael Jackson), masterful mastering by Dylan "3-D" Dresdow (Black Eyed Peas, U2), and jaw-dropping artwork by digital artist Mike Dunkley, these babies are the result of the unholy collision of Fuxed-up creativity and High Production Value. Guaranteed to melt your brain or your money back!

WHO: Killsonic is a 20 plus-member, Latin/jazz/Gypsy/punk mega-band of marching sonic guerrillas. "Swathed in red scarves and homemade insignias, the local jazz-punk 20-piece soon sold the captive audience on their brand of highly technical and freewheeling bombast. With no fewer than five vintage squeezeboxes and a horn section blessed with a handful of virtuosos, Killsonic marched their final song out of the venue and finished as they hit the street." -- LA Weekly

Quazar and the Bamboozled is an unusually fun rock & roll band with a strong classic New Orleans R&B influence -- they're sort of a cross between Dr. John and the infamous Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem band from "The Muppet Show." The band has appeared live with everyone from the Peking Acrobats to the Ditty Bops, including a performance at the Hollywood Bowl.

moxy phinx features the dramatically twisted vocal stylings of the great Katrina Lenk, who was recently named Best Musical Performer at the LA Weekly Theater Awards (as the lead in Lovelace: A Rock Opera). A sort of hybrid between Bjork and Marlene Dietrich, she'll be accompanied by and interacting with six dancers choreographed by Janet Roston.
