Hump Day Dance Party Presents: Weird Kids Night 3: Teensploitation Summer Beach Party at the Darkroom
We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Memorial Day and usher in the beginning of summer than by playing the best teen and weirdo beach party tunes we could find.
Expect to hear all sorts of blanket bingo jams from the 60s and beyond. Annette Funicello, Elvis, and tracks from campy B films like Wild Guitar! will all surely make an appearance for your watusi and frugging enjoyment.
