Curtain Club was always a popular event at the now defunct Potato Head Garage, known for its hard guest limits (to keep it intimate) and cool eclectic DJs. Potato Head in Pacific Place is bringing Curtain Club back for the launch of their Potato Head x Wacko Maria collaboration, for which they teamed up with the cult Japanese streetwear brand to create limited edited shirts inspired by the culture, myths and exoticism of Bali. Friday’s Curtain Club even will feature Korean DJ Hunee and Wacko Maria’s Killer Tunes Broadcast. FDC Rp 150k, starts at 8:30pm (and they advise guests to get there early as space will be limited).

“Ferocious clubber and party girl Eleanor Conway has always been a woman of extremes; she partied around the world as a music journalist, ran off to Asia to work for the triads, made hardcore porn and Tinder’d her way through most of London. Now sober from alcohol and substances she’s failing to find moderation and meaning. ‘Walk of Shame’ is about sex, sobriety, Sambuca and the modern addict that lies within us all.” Eleanor has been performing stand-up in Europe for many years and can regularly be seen at some of the UK’s biggest festivals and she’ll be performing in Jakarta this Friday for the start of her Asia tour.
