Events

  1. Crescent Open Decks Producers Night

    7:00 PM · Keybar

    Open-decks producer night at Keybar has a working-scene feel that beats another polished DJ listing.

  2. HOT GAY SUMMER TOUR

    7:00 PM · 3 Dollar Bill

    3 Dollar Bill's live-band burlesque lane makes this read more like a scene dispatch than a standard party.

  3. Salon Lulu – Perseid Edition

    7:00 PM · Berlin

    A Perseid-edition salon at Berlin has enough occult calendar logic to feel deliberately strange.

  4. Shibuya69: Anniversary

    7:00 PM · Wonderville

    Wonderville anniversary programming with this title points to a narrow, game-bar subculture night.

  5. Goth SK8: Clock Serum (LIVE), Boiled Angel, Nightvvitch (skate all night)

    8:00 PM · Xanadu

    A goth skate night with live acts is exactly the over-specific hybrid that deserves surfacing.

  6. The Looking Glass

    8:45 PM · The Red Pavilion

    The Red Pavilion's late looking-glass slot sounds like a theatrical cabaret detour, not a generic stage night.

  7. Bros Before Hos*

    9:30 PM · The Tank Theater

    The Tank's title alone signals a sharper fringe-theater premise than the Broadway spillover around it.

  8. The Sami Song of Survival

    10:00 PM · Spectacle

    Spectacle's iara lee program gives this late documentary slot a political-art edge.

  9. Vinyl After Hours

    11:30 PM · Mezzrow, New York, NY

    Mezzrow's late vinyl pocket is for listeners who want the night to wind down inside the records.

  10. Jam Session Hosted By Matt Snow

    11:45 PM · Smalls Jazz Club, New York, NY

    A Matt Snow-hosted Smalls jam keeps the real musician traffic moving after the scheduled sets.
