The small galaxy of strange attractors — art stars, noise-damaged musicians, mutant-disco producers, and guerrilla filmmakers — that made up the downtown New York scene in the late '70s and early '80s still holds a fascination for those born decades too late to crash the party. DJ Tristes Tropiques' new monthly shindig resurrects the sounds of the era, culling dance-floor-friendly fare from labels like ZE, Sleeping Bag, and 99 Records. On the decks tonight are recent Bay Guardian 2008 Hot Pink List nominee and Honey Soundsystem regular Josh C. and KUSF's Nicole G. Cinephiles take note: rare films by Kiki Smith and Eric Mitchell are also screened.
