Poker Face : 2000s+DANCE+PARTY [pop edition]

This late-night dance party at DC9 lifts its name and spirit from Lady Gaga’s iconic hit, but the music spans the entire pop-punk, MTV‑driven 2000s. DJs Phoenix & Dionysus recreate the TRL viewing experience by playing both the songs and their accompanying music videos on the club’s screens. The vibe is heavy on nostalgia for the era when Britney, Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga herself ruled the airwaves, and every tune was a “certifiable bop.” Expect to hear artists such as the Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child, Rihanna, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Ke$ha, Shakira, Missy Elliott, Christina Aguilera, NSYNC, Crazy Town, Nelly Furtado, and many more. The party runs late into the night after the doors open at 11:00 p.m.
