Because they usually have live bands playing here, Will’s Pub<\/em> in the Mills\/50 District is not a typical destination of ours. But when we heard they would be doing a Prince (USA) tribute show last night, we knew we had to be there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Coming in through the front door brings you into their front room which is where the bar is located.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But the adjacent side room is where the action is and we walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Prince Tribute brought to us by the legendary DJ BMF (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Orlando Weekly <\/em>readers recognized him as Orlando’s best club DJ back in 2018.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And last night he was delivering Prince hits one-after-another!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor was jamming. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Everyone knows Prince had so many dance hits but you just don’t realize how many he had until you hear them all played together. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Songs such as “Let’s Go Crazy”, “Delirious”, “Kiss” & “Little Red Corvette” all played back-to-back-to-back!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You know you’re in the right place when you run into fellow-club photographer Patrick Scott Barnes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into several peeps we know from the Orlando music scene.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
So much yes!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Most of the songs last night were accompanied by corresponding music videos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor went crazy for “1999”. We can remember dancing to that song in the 80’s at Victor’s<\/em> in Fort Walton Beach when 1999 was so far in the future. Now 1999 is so far in the past. Wtf.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We think Will’s Pub<\/em> typically has a shiny disco ball up there over the dance floor so you know they’re legit. Last night they had a shiny disco \u01ac\u0335\u032c\u030a up there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We visited the Prince <\/em>logo store at the Mall of America<\/em> in Bloomington, MN back in 2021.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
So much fun last night and a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Iron Cow<\/em> is located in Orlando’s Milk District and it was one of our stops last night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We came in the door and walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Citron (USA) was in the booth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Great House music set from this Charlotte-based DJ.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The bar was busy during our visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The dance floor, not so much. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Activity was growing a bit prior to our departure. DJ Mr. Nukem (UAE) plays here next Saturday night, June 13th, while the Zinc Bar<\/em> Reunion with DJ Cliff T (USA) and DJ Carlos Mendoza (USA) is happening here on Friday, June 19th. Both events will be packed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Time for one more stop. By now you know Barbarella <\/em>v3.0 happens every Saturday night inside The Axe Trap<\/em> on Lee Road in Winter Park.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We opened the door and walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just as it should be on a Saturday night, DJ Indie John (USA) in the perch delivering the hits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music mostly 80’s New Wave and Alternative.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Even at this late hour, the dance floor was jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted in VIP: DJ Icey (USA) and his entourage. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
