As Tel Aviv twins itself with Venice and enjoys the wailing storm, DIY Tel Aviv is bracing the weather from the confines of its warm bed to bring you news of the only valid reason to leave your house this weekend – parties!
Bonus parties for tonight (7/1/15): head over to Radio EPGB from 22:00 to hear the king of Turkish psychedelic electronica, Baris K, play a rare Tel Aviv set with a very unique sound. Katzele and Anna on support with some local sounds. Free.
Or if you fancy some French and north African music and a chance to gorge yourself on vegan or meat couscous, head over to the Anna Loulou Bar from 22:00. This time there will even be some live music. Free.
