Love Will Tear Us Apart at the Phoenix Landing, 512 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge
In promoting a party, sometimes you don’t have time to mess around. So naming your event after the legendary Joy Division post-punk classic (perhaps the greatest song of the 20th century), gives you a good idea of what to expect here. The perfect remedy for those who missed Heroes’ pre-Valentine’s Day party at the Middle East the night before (or those who just want to double dip on the darker side of love), this Sunday night bash promises a mix of goth, EBM, electro, synthpop and new wave from DJs Dirge and Xero, all with a down-tempo feel. By 10 p.m. Sunday night, you have a pretty good idea of how your Valentine’s Day turned out. If you want to take it down a few notches and sulk in the corner to Wolfsheim’s “Lovesong” or “Awake” by Cosmicity, then this is the place. Just don’t request De/Vision. Don’t be that person.
