Part Time Punks hosts the Official Afterparty for Echo Park's annual Echo Park Rising event (aka a long weekend of bands in the blazing sun) by devoting an evening to the coolest of dance floor sounds of the 1980s. What to expect? Why, lots of sounds from PTP stalwarts, The Smiths, New Order, The Cure, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Bauhaus, Siouxie & The Banshees, Sisters Of Mercy, Nitzer Ebb, The Normal, Jesus & Mary Chain, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Chameleons...

PLUS a whole slew of sounds from labels like Factory, 4ad, Mute and Rough Trade. 

AND, of course, some of your very favorite guilty pleasures by the likes of OMD, Human League, Ultravox, Tears For Fears, Psychedelic Furs, Pet Shop Boys, Flock Of Seagulls, Berlin, Bronski Beat, Bow Wow Wow, Adam Ant, Sinead O'Connor, Kate Bush and John Peel only knows what else...

With PTP's good friends and regular collaborators, Guest DJs Alex Luevano and Ray DeVries (who host the annual Depeche Mode and Smiths Conventions here in LA).

For fans of MTV's rule & groundbreaking program 120 MINUTES and classic "alternative music" of the 1980s...!
