For well over a decade, ’80s- and ’90s-themed alternative music parties—like Atomic, The Workout and Club Satori—have proven a serious draw in downtown San Jose. Live alternative music, especially that produced by Bay Area musicians, has been a harder sell. DJ Cutso and Containher are hoping their new endeavor, Outsider’s Social, will help bridge the attendance gap by bringing local artists in to cover a variety of new wave, trip-hop and classic alternative classics from the likes of Depeche Mode, Massive Attack and Bjork. This weekend’s performers include Cellista, NRVS LVRS and Containher.Outsider’s Social
