ALCHEMY
2019-2020
Produced by
Max Michaels and DJ OEDON
Our attempt to bring some Goth to St Augustine. We ended up with a largely Jacksonville crowd that traveled. Then covid hit. We would have started again, but another promoter eusurped the name for an event at a venue we did not want associated with our brand.
FACTORY: VAMP
2021-2021
Produced by Max Michaels
A campy and glamy night at the original Hamburger Mary's Jacksonville. It was short lived due to their shows ahead of us always running late and our night not being able to start on time.
