Oh, hai, the ’80s — ur doin it rong. Unless you’ve been hitting up the totally awesome roving monthly New Wave City for the past 16 years, right? I remember when NWC DJs Shindog and Skip were just a twinkle in the ’90s eyes — 1992, wha? — going against the rave-inundated mainstream and reliving the cozy Morrissey-tinged conundrum that was the ’80s: shy neon. Love those children. And take that Calvin Harris fans — the ’80s started again the minute they finished! Lather rinse repeat.
’80s! I’m just gonna write that a thousand million blood- and mascara-stained times.
NWC’s planned a massive synthalicious hoedown at DNA Lounge this Saturday, Dec. 6, to blow out their Sixteen Candles with appropriate assymetrical haircut aplomb. Special guest DJs they’ve fi-Nageled for the occasion: Melting Girl, Donimo, and Andy T. PLUS: an ’80s fashion contest to win those fancy new Smiths and New Order deluxe compilations! Be there or be Huey Lewis.
