About this Event

Back by popular demand, Night City is hosting Jamie Brew and THE WEIRD ALGORITHM for another round of robot karaoke.

This live music show features songs you know and lyrics no one has ever heard. Our songwriting system, THE WEIRD ALGORITHM, matches classic karaoke tunes syllable-for-syllable with bizarre text datasets from the internet.

Request any of the 100+ songs and 50+ texts in the catalog. Sign up to sing as an individual or a group...or sit back and watch the karaoke carnage.

Past combos include:

YELP REVIEWS OF PSYCHICS to the tune of TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

CRAIGSLIST VEHICLE ADS to the tune of TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS

NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF PROFESSORS to the tune of VAMPIRE

BERNIE SANDERS EMAIL SUBJECT LINES to the tune of DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'

Hosted by Jamie Brew, a tech entrepreneur on a mission to make karaoke harder and worse.
