Weekly night of post-punk, glam rock and new wave on vinyl at EQ, a 21+ venue in Hillcrest.
Camilla Robina and Faux Velvet are behind the decks at EQ on Monday, October 5, for another edition of Blue Monday. It's a resident night, so if you've been to EQ on a Monday before, you know the drill: the music is all vinyl, and the selection leans on post-punk, glam rock and new wave.
That specific mix—post-punk, glam rock and new wave—is what defines the night. It's a particular slice of the record store: the jagged edges of post-punk, the theatrical strut of glam rock and the synth-driven pop of new wave. And because it's all on vinyl, you're hearing records played from the original pressings rather than a digital playlist. Robina and Velvet are the residents here, so they're the ones picking the wax and working the room throughout the night.
To get a sense of where this fits, it helps to know what EQ does. It's a focal point of San Diego's underground electronic scene, right in the heart of Hillcrest. The venue programs a wide mix of techno, hardgroove, drum and bass, Baile Funk, Amapiano and GQOM, alongside long-running queer nights dedicated to Gothic Industrial, EBM and Darkwave. Blue Monday is one of those queer nights, and it's a 21+ space.

It runs from 9 PM to 2 AM, so there's plenty of room to settle in. There's no cover, which makes it an easy one to drop into on a Monday night without thinking twice. If you're into post-punk, glam rock and new wave, you've got your Monday sorted.
