PROG51 is an event specially conceived by longtime Tulsa DJ Badger for the old-school Tulsa-area alternative music fans who remember KTOW Progressive Radio, Mohawk Music, and the Beat Club dance club.

There is NO COVER CHARGE for this event, which is being held at the smokefree LOT NO. 6 art bar.

All tracks played at this event will be selections originally played on KTOW Progressive Radio and/or at Beat Club, most of which could have been purchased at Mohawk Music back in the day.  There will be no songs played that are any more recent than early 1991 (when KTOW left the FM airwaves), and the music will be kept at a comfortable level to encourage conversation.

You can expect music stretching from the well-known to the obscure, with selections ranging from the works of Depeche Mode to Camper Van Beethoven, from the Smiths to Lenny Kravitz, from the Cure to Urban Dance Squad, from REM to Blue Clocks Green, from New Order to Midnight Oil, from Front 242 to Redd Kross, from Nitzer Ebb to Black Uhuru, from Siouxsie and the Banshees to Bongos, Bass and Bob.

All tracks will be played from CDs and genuine vinyl records - NOT from a laptop.

It will be a night absolutely packed with musical memories.

This is the first social gathering of its kind in Tulsa, aimed specifically at fans of Tulsa's classic alternative music culture.  Although you can feel free to dance if you'd like, this event is not being presented as a "dance party."  It's a social gathering - a place to come share our stories and revisit our experiences from back in the day.

PROG51 is planned as an annual event; we certainly hope to see plenty of you there!
