Ever wish you could have partied with Rick James, Prince, Duran Duran & Stevie B? Same here.

That’s why we’re starting “Sunglasses At Night”, a new 80s-focused concept by Matinee Social Club, where we’ll be diving deep into 80s nu wave, freestyle, synth-pop, & more. Expect an evening surrounded by a 30+ something crowd and enfulfed in the deep synths that defined a decade.

Details

When: Select Fridays & Saturdays

Time: Saturdays from 5-10pm, Fridays from 6-10pm

Where: VIRGO (LES)

  • 324 Grand St, New York, NY 10002 (Maps)

  • A ~200 person underground nightclub in the LES, drenched in purple hues, with a furry walled backroom, and an award winning sound system. "Think of it as a mix between a cool basement club in London and a hip Brooklyn warehouse, and add a touch of Manhattan flair." – Thrillist

Music: (Mostly) 80s nu wave, synth-pop, freestyle, new romantic and more. Think Prince, New Order, Stevie B, Rick James, Shannon, Duran Duran, Yazoo, Bronski Beat, etc. Inspo playlist.

  • For repeat Matineers, this will be adjacent to our “Lost Generation” party, with a focus on the 80s, but (a) it’s not just for Gen X and (b) the music will be more grooves and not as much singalong – the perfect pairing with VIRGO’s immaculate underground vibe.

Dress Code: 80's chic preferred. Purple hues. Prince / Rick James inspired. But really just dress for a fun night out.

FAQs

  • Yes, at Joyface we almost always allow door access pending capacity.

    That being said, entry is not guaranteed. Joyface only fits ~100 people and we don’t want to overcrowd it for ticketed guests.

    Door priority will be given to friends of ticket holders.

    If you have a large group, we recommend you wait and just tickets for a future event.

    We recommend coming at the very beginning at 6pm OR later around 7:30pm once ticket holders have arrived.

  • Yes. There is one reserve-able space at Joyface that holds 10-20 people.

    To reserve the space, you must buy the "Table Reservation" tickets for your group on Eventbrite. It also requires an $100 per person bar minimum.
