“You are Here” at Death by Audio is aMAZE-ing

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Every time I watched Alice in Wonderland as a kid, I would watch the painting the roses red scene and want to go play in a giant maze–minus the queen coming to yell at me. As an adult, all I have to do is walk over to Death by Audio to play in a maze. You are Here is a maze built out of salvaged doors with wood chips lining the floors, with 200+ sculptures scattered about, and the structure takes up the entire venue. Wandering through the maze is fun enough, but all of Death by Audio’s shows are being played in the curves of the maze. Check out the complete list of bands here. I cannot confirm or deny that the maze ends with a croquet game involving birds, but I can for sure say that You are Here also has an open bar from 8 to 10pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.

Kiley E - Ragamuffin Researcher

After years of denial, Kiley has finally admitted to baring a striking resemblance to Velma from Scooby Doo. Instead of traveling in a van hunting ghosts, she prefers wandering on foot in search of tacos, cheap beer, and fake birds. Growing up in Portland, Kiley enjoyed the balance of urban and green spaces. Then she spent her four years at Ithaca College, and found herself craving more sprawling asphalt in her life. So she moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where most of the buildings look like they're about to collapse. Kiley's favorite activities include: getting lost, crafting, sewing, biking, and geeking out at museums. Her love of taxidermy probably makes her a terrible vegetarian, but she doesn't care.
