The club was jumping on a Tuesday, just like the song said.
Ashley Hayward, a dancer who is considered royalty at Jumbo's Clown Room, took over Los Angeles with a crew of sexy, enticing weirdos for a new concept: The Night Scene.
It was a night of live music from Night Boys, featuring punk classics and performances from some of the hottest freaks in Los Angeles. And if you were wondering where every good-looking alternative baddie in Los Angeles was on Tuesday night, they were here.
The show opened with DJ Rose spinning a set tailor-made for aging punks as distorted videos flickered behind them—static TV, John Waters smoking before a movie commercial, women caressing phallic-shaped flowers. Long before the band even took the stage, people were already dancing.
Ashley told me the idea came after reading Love Goes to Buildings on Fire: Five Years in New York That Changed Music Forever, a history of the underground scenes that collided in 1970s New York. Ashley took her inspiration from CBGB and the way punk, disco, no wave, and hip-hop all fed into each other to create something unique in L.A.
