Thursday, August 9th – The Takeover: A Night of Rock at The Anderson

As a strong believer in making Thursdays the official kick off to weekend vibes, Too Much Love Mag presents: The Takeover, a night of drink specials and everything rock-centric starting from 9pm to late pm. Every second and fourth Thursday of the month, we invite local and touring artists and bands to takeover the DJ booth, playing all the rock that was formative along their musical evolution. Tonight, the special guests include artist and producer Millionyoung, and artiste extraordinaire GAMI. There is no cover at the door, and drink specials will last as long as you do, including $4 beers, $7 margaritas and $6 shots. Tap in to your inner Lemmy, and step in to a killer night of great music and even better company ! More info
