After being delayed for two months, The Loft’s much anticipated spiritual successor Barsonic is set to open up for business this December. First thing, cover charge dodgers beware – unlike the usual Twilight Action Girl Friday Night’s of yore, there will be no more guestlists or free entry before midnight. Yep, no more arriving at 1am and calling up everyone you know to try and pull some strings.

However, the guys in charge aren’t as stupid as to stick two fingers up at the loyal crowd that made the joint THE party to be at. Now you’re eligible for permanent free entry ONLY by joining the Barsonic Facebook Group. There’s some terms and conditions, which some may find annoying, but hey – it’s either that or stump up for the cover charge …

Technical details out the way, Barsonic is not only much physically larger than The Loft was, but it’s also aiming to make the whole indie night movement bigger and badder than it was before. Apart from the staple Friday TAG nights, the Lapsap crew will now be having two resident night’s a month. One which they’ll be spinning themselves, and the other being Lapsap & Co Presents, which will see them bringing down the hottest acts from around and about.

Better sign up quick, as the TAG boys will be kicking things off at 10pm on December 6th!

Also, look out for Lapsap to launch their resident night at Barsonic on December 13th with a surprise act all the way from the UK, whilst the first Lapsap & Co Presents will be held on December 20th and will feature Bangkok’s finest, DJ Knatz!

Barsonic, Zouk KL, 113 Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
