Crap is a dance party with DJ YumYum celebrating the best of the worst music that drum machines, keytar, and octagonal drums have offered the world. Indie kids, goths, punks, gays, lesbians, suburbanites, drunks, truckers, hipsters, muppetteers, and Prince disciples alike gather to dance to the music on that sticky mix tape you found in the bottom of your Delorean that has been taped over 77 times and missing since 1991. You will attend. You probably heard this music in a carpool or at your dentist. Maybe you're still hearing it at the dentist.
Crap is at least 3/4's as good as bears in ice cream trucks or communism. I'm not going to lie, this is the best dance night of all-time and if you argue, you are clearly in a fucking coma.
REVEL IN IT!
I don't wanna sleep, I just wanna keep on loving you. Send us a message if you have any requests. I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows.
Crap -- complete with unecessary saxaphone solos. DJ Trent, always loved, always missed. Crap, doing what needs to be done since 2003.

The guy who makes suits for Lionel Richie. Proton Pack manufacturers. Pro Cobra Kai dissidents. The light of Xanadu. Freedom fries. Production team for Best of the Best 3. Anyone in Less Than Zero. Everyone who has seen Heavy Metal Parking Lot. Slap Bracelets. Leif Garrett. MC Hammer ministries. Kriss and Kross. Samantha Fox's underwear. Creators of Timecop the Series. Supporters of Jordache stylings. So I'll tell you something, this could be love.
