We’ve already told you about the awesomeness that is tomorrow night’s concert with Diplo, Abe Vigoda, Blaqstarr, Telepathe, and Boy 8 Bit, but we forgot to mention that (A) it’s Diplo’s birthday, and (B) there will be free pizza.

From R5 Productions:

This is going to be real life fun, get really crazy, watch weird people dance in pizza costumes and Elmo suits while you get drunk and stupid for DIPLO’s BIRTHDAY PARTY AT THE STARLIGHT BALLROOM. We told you about how he is buying everyone pizza for the party (for real – we are ordering tons of pizza from 10 area pizza shops). Now here is the next surprise addition:

For those who purchase advance tickets (including those who purchased them already) you will get a special invite to a FREE AFTER PARTY that’s taking place later that evening. The event is limited to ONLY THOSE WHO PURCHASED ADVANCE TICKETS. None of this “can my friend get in nonsense. YOU HAVE TO BUY A TICKET TO GET IN.

Check it, so for just $10 you get admission to the DIPLO show on Friday at The Starlight with special guests Abe Vigoda, Blaqstarr, Telepathe, Boy 8 Bit, you get lots of pizza, if you are 21+ you can drink lots (and if your not – well you can see Diplo for the first time in Philly cause he has only played 21+ events!) and then you get into the free after party.

In 2008 nothing costs $10 these days – check out the prices to our other shows below. This is all because Diplo wants to really just make it a big crazy fun night and doesn’t care about “getting paid”. We honestly think that’s the best (seriously – so many artists are total money hungry crazy people) and want to make sure this really does go off.

You can get the advance tickets online or at Deep Sleep (53 N 3rd Street) or of course online atr5productions.com

In the meantime, let us know you’re coming! RSVP on Facebook or drop us a line on Twitter! Don’t forget to stop by the WPRB booth and say hi!

Psychedelic rock band the Flaming Lips present Christmas on Mars: A Fantastical Film Freakout Featuring the Flaming Lips, a glorious science fiction film that marks the directorial debut of the Lips’ visionary frontman Wayne Coyne. Seven years in the making, Christmas on Mars features original music by the Flaming Lips (“The greatest U.S. band today” – The Guardian), with acting performances by all band members, and many others from their Oklahoma City-based team. Comedian Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live) and actor Adam Goldberg (Dazed and Confused, Two Days in Paris) also appear, as do Isaac Brock of band Modest Mouse, and performer Steve Burns of the band Steve Burns and the Struggle (who had also appeared in children’s television show Blue’s Clues). Bradley Beesley and George Salisbury co-directed the movie with Mr. Coyne.

It’s Christmastime, and the colonization of Mars is underway. However, when an oxygen generator and a gravity control pod malfunction, Major Syrtis (the Lips’ Steven Drozd) and his team (including the Lips’ Michael Ivins) fear the worst. Syrtis also hallucinates about the birth of a baby, and many other strange things. Meanwhile, a compassionate alien superbeing (Coyne) arrives, inspiring and helping the isolated astronauts.

WPRB & R5 Productions are psyched to bring you an evening with Philadelphia’s own DIPLO, along with BLAQSTARR, ABE VIGODA (the band), TELEPATHE, and BOY 8 BIT on Friday November 14th at the Starlight Ballroom (460 North 9th Street) in Philadelphia! This is an all-ages show and starts at 8PM!

You probably know Diplo already from his work with M.I.A., but he’s an amazing DJ in his own right and runs the Mad Decent label. But long before he became a Pitchfork favorite, he was throwing down at the Hollertronix parties. This is Diplo’s first legit all-ages show, so be sure to check it out!

The show is rounded out with performances from Blaqstarr (Mad Decent’s newest addition to the roster), Abe Vigoda (who we were psyched about way back when), Telepathe (they just made a record with the TV On the Radio guys), and Boy 8 Bit (who does some awesome dubstep stuff).

Stay tuned to WPRB — we’ll be giving away tickets to this super fun show!
