What is a red light party?

Ok, you are a teenager. It is sometime in the decade in-between 1970 and 1980. You live in a major metropolitan area. It is friday night and your parents have gone out of town. You decide to have a party. You drag your stereo down to the basement. You unscrew all the light bulbs and replace them with red ones. You call up all of your friends. Someone brings over a big stack of battered LP's. Someone else grabs their older sister's collection of 45's. Of course someone else is sent out to the deli to buy the beer. All your friends (and alot of people you don't know) all crowd into your parent's basement. The night progresses. Beer is spilled all over your parent's rug. The smell of cheap marijuana (and possibly angel dust) fills the room. Someone pukes all over your parent's best chair. Your best friend disappears into the bathroom with a rather ugly girl and they stay in there for 45 minutes. You wake up the next day at 6am. The red lights are still on. A record is still spinning on the turntable. You have a splitting headache, the basement looks like a warzone, and your parents are coming home in 5 hours.


Red Light Party:

DJ Peter Gunn plays Classic Soul, Hard Funk, Acid Rock, Old Old Old School Hip Hop (pre-1980), and Vintage Breaks to dance, drink, and make out to.

One Friday a month @ The Southside Lounge *** 41 Broadway *** Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Although this CD is not a perfect representation of The Red Light Party, it is a pretty good picture of it on a certain night... All of the tracks on this CD have a certain percussive funkiness: handclaps, cowbells, congas, drum breaks... call and response vocals... funky organ vamps and high energy... soooooo, on with your dancing shoes..... for copies of this CD, please e-mail: pmc220@nyu.edu
