La Puteria Presents: Cardinal and Nun LIVE US/SF Debut

La Puteria Presents: Cardinal and Nun LIVE US/SF Debut

La Puteria presents the San Francisco (& US) debut of Cardinal & Nun. Venturing all the way from Paris, Cardinal & Nun has releases on labels such as Lies Records (NY) Eye for An Eye Recordings (Lisbon) and continues to drop deep dark cuts. Expect heavy notes of industrial, post punk and electronic body music from this absolute ripper with a live performance that is nothing short of riveting. The night will also feature local industrial artist EX-HEIR (Live) along with local SF diggers/selectors: Solar, Mozghan, Hot Goth GF, Kitti Von Paige and Case. Taking place at the legendary Stud's new location, freaks, ragers and punks are very much welcomed and encouraged to join us.

La Puteria stems from DIY invite-only private events always featuring live acts and local selectors as well as a bi-monthly radio show. It’s a cross pollinating event that is non-genre conforming and specializes in curating a symbiotic connection between producerz-selektorz and the dancerz. Without either we have nothing. The event is encouraged for those to dress up n get weird with an emphasis of Payasa’s (clowns).
This will be the first public event by La Puteria and none other than the home of many: The Stud.
