The Lolita Party April 13, 2007

Brooklyn By Hand announces The Lolita Party at The Glasslands Gallery Friday, the 13th of April. The Lolita Party continues showcasing local bands with vigor and verve while offering a cheap set of beer goggles to make cute girls and boys yet cuter, and ugly ones doable.

This month’s lineup features Eskimobot. Dance-worthy synth pop is fused with energetic indie/electronic and long-legged allure from this mostly girl musical ménage-a-quatre. Fresh from their Lower East Side residency at Pianos, the group returns to Brooklyn to unleash catchy and haunting vocals in exchange for sweat and smiles.

Making their Lolita debut is Gutz. In a world rife with Prada sweaters and bum chic comes three moderately not-ugly white guys and one, who uncannily resembles Barry Gibb, to bring the symphonic gut-boogie to the over privileged youth of the outer boroughs. They like trannies. They like themselves, immensely. And their songs are catchier than cold sores.

Pussi Stout’s full-throttle electronic and noise rock is delivered with garish showmanship. Think Weekend at Bernie’s meets LCD Soundsystem. Something along the lines of what it might sound like if a German tourist came to Brooklyn and threw a party in his florescent pink fanny pack. It’s body shot noise rock with a labyrinthine texture. You will sweat. You will be entertained.

Spinning at Lolita and featured in magazines such as URB, Flavorpill and (The Lolita Party’s favorite) Seventeen, The Syrup Girls are known as “New York nightlife's best-kept secret". Super cute tag-team DJ duo Star Eyes and Siren provide the alternative to your average drum and bass. Mixing it up with two-step, breakbeat and new wave, these beauties bring their worldwide turntable skills to Brooklyn.

Also featured are We Are Scientist’s favorite femme fatale DJs, The Dudettes, kicking the tires and lighting the fires to get the party going, spinning hip and limb loosening anthems in between sets. And, dropping a booty shaking hodge podge of indie dance, punk, mod, hip hop and skating rink is local lovely Tbones, listing among her myriad of sins spinning for Vice Magazine and opening for a slew of underground indie all-stars.

A mere $6 dollar cover gets you in the door and sexy Zach Bot pours $3 beers down your throat all night. The Glasslands Gallery is located at 289 Kent Ave (btw South 1st and South 2nd). Take the L Train to Bedford Ave or the JMZ to Marcy. Doors at 9PM.
