Corey O'Brien and Larry Trujillo purchased the Blank Club in 2003 to support San Jose's alternative music scene. They created the weekly dance party Atomic, inspired by Blondie's song "Atomic," featuring DJ Basura. After the Blank Club closed in 2015, O'Brien opened The Ritz, where Atomic transitioned to a monthly event. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Atomic will feature performances from DJs Plastic Disease and Bit. The event is scheduled for Saturday at The Ritz in San Jose, with tickets ranging from $13.50 to $262.58.
