New Wave City

As our slogan says, New Wave City is the First & Foremost 80's Dance Party. We are presented about once a month in San Francisco (venue location varies), and devoted to playing the best in alternative dance music from the New Wave era of the late 70's and early 80's. The promoters, hosts and DJ's of New Wave City are Skip and Shindog.

At any New Wave City event, you can expect a cool crowd of knowledgeable New Wave music fans from various ages and walks of life, who come together to dance, socialize and celebrate the music of their lives. Each event features a tribute to one of the seminal acts of the period, such as Depeche Mode, The Smiths, The Cure, New Order, Siouxsie and the Banshees, etc. You'll hear songs from the featured artist throughout the evening as well as the rest of the best of New Wave.

Visuals from Altered Images (AKA Skip) include vintage video, '80s movies and TV, slide shows with images of '80s icons, street posters and club flyers from 1979-1984, and original concert photos.

Special events, such as New Wave Prom, The Black & Black Ball, NWC Anniversary Party, will also feature added attractions like special guest DJ's (Terri Nunn of Berlin), live performances (Debora Iyall of Romeo Void), fashion shows, dance or fashion contests, performance pieces, go-go dancers, and much more.
