Head down to Grand Star Jazz Club in Chinatown this Saturday, January 27, for Club Retro Boom, where DJ Vanish, DJ Filthy Rich and I will be playing a mix of ‘80s and rock en Español for this special Bowie vs. Bunbury event. Party starts at 9:30 p.m. and I’m handling the first set of the night, so get there early. Tickets are available now on Eventbrite. Club Retro Boom is 21+.
Grand Star Jazz Club is located at 943 N. Broadway, right next to the Bruce Lee statue in Chinatown’s Central Plaza. Both street and lot parking is available and the venue is located right across Broadway from Metro’s A Line station in Chinatown. See you on the dance floor.
