HACKSAW ENTERTAINMENT: The New Era of Parties in SF!

2009 has already brought us a wave of change, optimism and a fresh start.....here in SF, we've also been given a brand new reason to party!

(George Sylvain, Shane King, Tom Hamilton)

Hacksaw Entertainment is the new brand of electronic music and parties in SF! George Sylvain (a young entrepreneur straight from the UK) teamed up with DJs Tom Hamilton (aka DJMorale) and Shane King, two of the Bay Area's most talented and prolific DJ's (they host "Dirty Rotten Dance Party" on Fridays @ Madrone), to create a new era of parties with an emphasis on intimate DJ showcases and low cover charges.

This thursday, Jan 22, Hacksaw launches their new party "THE NOISE," the first of many events taking place regularly throughout the year to come. The event will be held at 103 Harriet in SF, and features music from Hookerz & Blow, Ana Sia, and Lazer Sword.

"We are deliberately keeping the line-up simple," says co-founder, George Sylvain. "It is our opinion that a lot of parties try to feature too many DJs and you don't get to experience the best they have to offer, so this is a great opportunity to see 3 of the best up-and-coming acts in the Bay Area in an intimate environment with a great crowd...We are also trying to keep it cheaper for everyone to party and enjoy music despite what is going in with the world right now… so we will be keeping ticket costs low and offering great drink specials at as many of the parties as possible."

Sylvain also gave some insight into the lineup for Thursday night's party...

HOOKERZ & BLOW (Mozaic & EPROM)
"Hookerz & Blow are a live DJ and mashup duo from the SF Bay Area, who play a real party-rocking set that is sure to propel them to ever greater heights over 2009. You can get a taste of their sound from their myspace page, or if you're in the lucky group going to Diplo at 103 Harriet for New Year's, you will get to see them throw down a set there. They are one of our favorites and this is a great chance to see them headline a show in an intimate environment."

ANA SIA
"Ana Sia is one of the most prolific San Francisco DJs, legendary for heavy-hitting bass and filling out dance floors. She has played alongside such acts as The Glitch Mob and even at festivals such as Lightning In A Bottle and Sonic Bloom."

LAZER SWORD (performing a DJ Set)
"Lazer Sword is Lando Kal, and LL, and they are a real treat to see perform. They will be playing one of their impressive DJ sets which are deservedly gaining them a great reputation in San Francisco and beyond."

THE NOISE is THURSDAY, Jan 22 @ 103 Harriet in SF
$7 @ The Door
Music starts @ 10pm
