So usually we’re not much for DJs, but we break our own rules when they’re actually getting those knobs turnt. And we extra break our rules when we think something super rad is gonna be popping at Elvis Guest House.

They’ve certainly proven they can fill up large venues, but can they keep the festivities quality in a small-quantity space? We’re gonna go with probz.
