I hear dead people

The fine folks at Twelves Wax are taking over Harlow’s tonight (2708 J St.) with a “Musical Tribute to the Fallen Soldiers.” DJs Epik, Fooders and Rock Bottom will be spinning tracks from artists who have passed on, so it’ll be a funky sort of memorial for musicians who died from a variety of reasons:

By accident (Aaliyah, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes)
By violence (Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, Mac Dre)
By illness (Luther Vandross, Eazy-E)
By ham sandwich (Mama Cass Elliot)

Ok, so the DJs probably won’t spin any Mamas & the Papas (and the ham sandwich thing is an urban legend, anyway), but you’ll probably never had such a good time being surrounded by music from dead people. The cover is just $2, and the channeling of the spirits starts at 10 p.m.
