Indie sleaze came back because the people who were nineteen in 2008 are now old enough to be nostalgic and young enough to still go out. Flash photography, bad eyeliner, a general commitment to looking like the night cost you something.
What makes this one work is that it is not a costume party. The lineup runs dark pop into hard dance, which is the actual through-line of that era rather than the cleaned-up version people remember, and the room is full of people who dressed with real intent. The warehouse downtown is the correct venue — nobody wants this in a nice room, and the people who run it know that.
Nine at night on Friday the second, running to two in the morning.
