Been a bad boy or girl lately? Need a little discipline, maybe while sweating like a pig in rubber, vinyl and leather getups? Or perhaps you’re not an overtly fetishy type — you don’t want to be beaten, you just love brutal dance beats. Whether you’re the former, the latter or somewhere in between, Bondage Ball beckons you this week. Ass-smackin’ performances (an “island of punishment” will be in the middle of the dance floor), gothish getups galore and, most important, super-intense dance sounds make up the Friday freak-fest. This edition offers promoter/DJ Courtney, Matthew Grim (Dungeon, Fetish Disco), Alan T (Sanctuary, Kink Hollywood) and Danny Graver dominating the decks with industrial, trance and dark electro. Prepare yourself, ’cause the sounds should be as sexy and severe as the scenery. Henry Fonda Theater, 6126 Hollywood Blvd., Hlywd.; Fri., April 20, 9 p.m.-2 a.m.; over 18; $20, $25 after 10 p.m. www.bondageball.com.
