The stage has been dark for a while now, but the vintage couture shop Aubergine is re-opening their “After Dark” space with a bigger stage, better sound and a kick-off show this week that features literally every facet of the Sebastopol space’s offerings. The grand re-opening begins with a free day show featuring bluegrass band 6 Mile Station and punk outfit Screaming Mimis playing for all ages. Then, the action moves to a 21-and-over night show that boasts steam punks El Radio Fantastique, rocker Frankie Boots and others playing along with belly dancing, burlesque, standup comedy and marching bands to boot. The soiree happens on Friday, July 11, at Aubergine, 755 Petaluma Ave, Sebastopol. 4pm/Free. 8pm/$5. 707.827.3460.
