Glamdammit Fifth Anniversary Party

Just because most of New York parties these days are all about hanging out in some hotel bar, or on the roof of some hotel…it’s nice to see that there’s still a few renegades that believe in a bit of rock ‘n’ rool raunch, sprinkled with glam dust. Tonite’s the five year b-day for Glamdammit, and all the kiddies will be out in their best retro doll looks. Twig the Wonderkid and Michael T serve as Djs. Plus, shows by Blackpeter Group and Kissi Kamikaze.

Don Hill’s, 511 Greenwich St at Spring St, NYC, 212-334-1390, 10pm, $10, www.glamdammitnyc.com
