If we have to end this business of human existence, there’s no reason not to dance while doing so. Following are suggestions for parties and shows around Israel that will help to accept the bad news in a fun way.
In honor of the end of the gray world, the Tel Aviv’s Barbie Club will have an end-of-the-world party with about 40 musicians in three live performances, and two deejays in a huge one-off musical celebration. The first to go onstage will be the Eliyev family, three generations of musicians with Bukharan ecstasy onstage. The second is of the Shmemel band, 10 musicians who will provide a colorful and positive performance with songs from their two albums. And for dessert, Marshe Dondurma, a brass band of 15 wind-instrument players and drummers that combines the warmth and acoustic power of a traditional brass band, with Israeli, Balkan and Mediterranean influences. Doni Kisluk (Margoza Crew, Kol Hacampus) and GULA K will deejay before, after and between performances, precise and colorful electro groove.
Where: Barbie Tel Aviv, 52 Kibbutz Galuyot
When: Thursday, December 20, beginning at 8:12 PM (20:12)
How much: NIS 80-100

At Bootleg they’re taking a short recess from all the imports that have landed there recently, because they feel that the end of the world should be celebrated among friends. That’s why instead of the duo Lamp and Jo, they are bringing Red Excess, for whom 2012 was undoubtedly their year; and the veteran Ravid Yehoshua, Red Rubin and Yoni Di. Furthermore, their protected space provides good protection from missiles, so it will certainly be your place of refuge against zombies, or whatever the Mayans bring us.
Where: The Bootleg, 48 King George, Tel Aviv
When: Saturday, December 22, 11:30 PM
How much: NIS 50 –70
The Breakfast is bringing the duo with the name that suits the end-of-world atmosphere – Suicide Local – a duo, half of which comes from the Munich clubs and the other from the Salonika indie scene. The club owners described them well when they said that they their set is on the lines of “Ivan Smagghe-Peaches-Iggy Pop.” Sounds like the set of the century. Gal Ofer, who works at the club, is in charge of the warmup.
Where: The Breakfast, 6 Rothschild, Tel Aviv
When: Saturday, December 22, midnight
How much: NIS 30 – 50
In honor of the end of the world (or the end of the year) the groups RawTapes, Michatronix, The Broken Fingaz and Ghostown Crew are getting together for a very good production for the party that will begin Saturday afternoon and continue until the wee hours of the night. On the menu: Deejaying by producer and DJ Bunny on Acid, hot deejaying by the whiz deejay Mesh, a live performance of the brilliant Buttering Trio, a live performance of the electronic duo 3421 and deejaying by the youngest deejay in town (18), Galo. All that and more on the backdrop of Israeli video art, drinks and good vibes.
Where: Urbanca Loft, 27 Schocken, eighth floor, Tel Aviv
When: Saturday, December 22 beginning at 4 PM

Another event taking place on our last weekend is a dreamy, colorful, fictitious and apocalyptic musical happening that will include, among others, live performances of the Vaadat Harigim ensemble, Bela Tar (Zoe Polanski), Robocop, and Bitter Jews. In addition, DJ Yonder (Yarden Elbocher) will bring you a purely psychedelic set. On the artistic side there will be B movies screened on the walls, a liquid-light show, hundreds of balloons, beach balls, corners with retro camps (Space Invaders, Pong), intergalactic punch, a crazy moon setting, and a smell of hot glue.
