The band has built a reputation from Phoenix to El Paso to Las Cruces for packing rooms and turning tribute nights into something closer to a full concert experience. As one promoter put it\, “More than a tribute\, Rastas show feels like an epic experience.” \nTickets and tiers\nTickets are available now on Eventbrite in three tiers. Early Bird General Admission is 20 dollars and limited to the first 100 tickets. Regular General Admission is 25 dollars.

SUMMARY:Noche De Despecho: Latin Karaoke Night
DESCRIPTION:Noche De Despecho means heartbreak night\, and it is exactly what it sounds like. \nOnce a week\, in cities across the country\, people show up to a bar with a microphone and do what centuries of Mexican cantina culture already knew worked: they sing through it. Rancheras\, cumbias\, boleros\, corridos. The songs that already know what you feel. The crowd that already knows why you are there. \nNoche De Despecho runs in Chicago\, Las Vegas\, Seattle\, New York\, Miami\, and Mexico City. Now it comes to The Historic Lobo Theater. \nAugust 21. Doors open at 8 PM. \nThink of it as group therapy where the barstool is the couch\, the microphone does the heavy lifting\, and the co-pay is twenty dollars cash at the door. \nTwenty dollars. Cash at the door. 21 and over. Valid ID required. No exceptions. \nThe Sports Vault opens at regular hours. Karaoke starts at 8 PM. We are here until you have said everything you needed to say\, or until 2 AM. Whichever comes first. \nPromoted by Red Light Entertainment NM. \n\nNoche De Despecho significa la noche del corazon roto\, y es exactamente lo que parece. \nUna vez a la semana\, en ciudades de todo el pais\, la gente llega a un bar con un microfono y hace lo que la cultura cantinera mexicana ya sabia que funcionaba desde hace siglos: cantan para superarlo. Rancheras\, cumbias\, boleros\, corridos. Las canciones que ya saben lo que sientes. El publico que ya sabe por que estas ahi. \nNoche De Despecho se celebra en Chicago\, Las Vegas\, Seattle\, Nueva York\, Miami y la Ciudad de Mexico. Ahora llega al Historic Lobo Theater. \n21 de agosto. Las puertas abren a las 8 PM. \nPiensalo como terapia de grupo donde el taburete es el divan\, el microfono hace el trabajo pesado\, y el copago son veinte dolares en efectivo en la puerta. \nVeinte dolares. Efectivo en la puerta. Mayores de 21 anos. Se requiere identificacion valida. Sin excepciones. \nEl Sports Vault abre en horario regular. El karaoke comienza a las 8 PM. Estamos aqui hasta que hayas dicho todo lo que necesitabas decir\, o hasta las 2 AM. Lo que llegue primero. \nPromovido por Red Light Entertainment NM.
