Brain Drain November 2010 Recap

by | Nov 29, 2010 | MUSIC

On the 20th of November the Audio Ammo Crew brought down Chicago’s Willy Joy for it’s monthly rager known as Brain Drain. The Hat Factory quickly filled up and the dudes kept the crowd moving until security was kicking them out at the end of the night. Heavy Bass Champ Willy Joy was gladly welcomed as he played banger after banger amongst a sea of machine gun toating dub step fans who never want the party to stop. Here’s a sample of what photographer Phil Bowne was able to capture in the madness.
