Crescendolls with Club Lyfestiles
Level Nite Club,
21st and Market, Philadelphia, PA
I’ve been wondering what the deal is with LEVEL ever since it opened, and it looks like Friday is the night to find out. Local famous DJs JHN RDN and Ian Saint Laurent are in charge of the dance music (the night is named after a Daft Punk track, if that’s any indicator of what they’ll be blasting) and rad local dance machine Club Lyfestiles (members of which have been seen here)
will be burning the floor and breaking hearts.
10pm. $5.
