Well, we've got some good news. Whether you're nostalgic for the days of glam rock or you weren't even born yet, we all know who David Bowie is and the influence he has put out there. This is an event to mark on your calendars (even though we know how busy you all are). On Saturday, December 17th, Le Poisson Rouge will be filled with beautiful people celebrating Bowie's 65th birthday in true glam rock style, hosted by nightlife mastermind Deryck Todd. From amazing DJs, glam rock music and live bands to make overs, gift bags and celebs, the list is endless. So whether you're dressing up as Ziggy Stardust or glittering yourself out, we hope to see you there at 11pm or later. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 the day of, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to non-profit organization I'm From Driftwood. Who said you can't be a good citizen and still party all night?]]> http://www.cityist.com/blog/glam-rock-revival-bowie-ball-2011/feed/ 0 http://www.cityist.com/blog/steve-madden-music-presents-freesol/ http://www.cityist.com/blog/steve-madden-music-presents-freesol/#comments Wed, 24 Aug 2011 00:25:17 +0000 Liz Black http://www.cityist.com/?p=12207 On Monday August 15th, 2011 Steve Madden Music held its third and final event of the 2011 Summer Concert Series with an exclusive live performance by Tennman/Interscope recording artists FreeSol, at Le Bain in the Standard Hotel, NY.]]> http://www.cityist.com/blog/steve-madden-music-presents-freesol/feed/ 0 http://www.cityist.com/blog/keds-from-austin/ http://www.cityist.com/blog/keds-from-austin/#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 14:51:30 +0000 Renee Lucas http://www.cityist.com/?p=11151 Some cute KEDS are on sale today, inspired by the Texas city of Austin and its cultural music and art festival SXSW.
