Life’s a Riot with Sing Sing

I met last night with Death of the Party majordomo Clayton Vomero to discuss the launching of his new Tuesday night party at Havana called Sing Sing (see also Hannah Levin’s column). Dude’s enthusiasm is infectious and he seems unbelievably stoked to get his new project aloft after his previous residency at Viceroy, Lowlife, folded. Sing Sing will focus on booty-centric music (baile funk, crunk, electro-house, whatever Fader magazine is championing, etc.) in an effort to make you forget about the dangerous fools running the country, if only for a few hours.
July 11 marks Sing Sing’s official throat clearing, but July 18 will likely make a louder sound with the appearance of Spank Rock/B.B.C. Sound DJs Devlin & Darko. Vomero’s booked Diplo, Bondo Do Role, and CSS for Aug. 5 (at Neumo’s), K-Fed beatmaker Disco D for Aug. 10, and Caps & Jones will be returning Sept. 29. December will see Spank Rock hitting Seattle for the second time this year; one hopes the Paramount is ready for their bass frequencies.
Most weeks will be held down by locals Fourcolorzack and Vomero (AKA Pretty Titty), but Vancouver jocks My Gay Husband and Paul Devro are slated to make monthly jaunts south to put Havana’s sound system through its paces. With Vomero and Zack transitioning to the Serato LIVE program, the former says they’ve increased their ability to play exclusive tracks and remixes.
Vomero’s ambitious goal (partially) with Sing Sing is to bring some New York/Baltimore/London/Brazilian favela flavor to Seattle’s club scene. He’s all about “doing stuff that wouldn’t ordinarily happen” in this city. In this regard, Vomero is a philanthropist of the dance floor. Havana good time is quite a plausible scenario.

Did you really use "dude" and "stoked" in the same paragraph?
No. You're hallucinating again.
But seriously, those are perfectly fine words, especially "stoked." Deal.
You Rawk!
clayton's an ambitious promoter, this city could use a few more like him.
