Lucky you! Despite the fact all of us at l'étoile have been busy with the next issue's launch (psst...It's April 13th!) We still took the time to make sure you lads and lasses had your slice of What's What because really, what would you do without us? We don't want you to go culturally hungry no matter how green the food gets this weekend.
leprechaun kisses,

Ass Party

Despite the name, this is not an evening of scatological celebration. In fact, quite the opposite. Ass Party happens to be the best dirty noise band this side of Peaches. So, no Gallagher-style ponchos are needed, unless things get a little out of hand.
