Why sit in your apartment listening to the Smiths and wishing you were dead when you could be in the basement of Lit Lounge listening to the Smiths and experiencing a sweltering mass of sweat and self-promotion? "Best DJ" winner of The L's 2009 Nightlife Awards, DJ Jess helms the tables with DJ Bastard for a night of 80s new wave and Brit pop. (Not so coincidentally, Lit was also named "Best Post-Breakup Night Out Spot" in our Nightlife Awards.)
Get down to vintage ska, reggae, and dub at this party named for Jamaican great Dandy Livingstone hosted by DJ Agent Jay, which also features different guest DJ's weekly.
Joined by special guests, Kid America spins 50s and 60s dance rock on Lit's bottom level. Very retro.
Advance tickets available here. $15, $30 at the door
West coasters Sanford and Jack (is it just us, or are you picturing popped polo collars too?) spin punk, dance and rap with special weekly guests.
Curran and guests spin after metal bands perform downstairs.
DJ Holla and guests spin dance punk and electro every Tuesday on the main floor.
