Imagine dancing around your bedroom in your PJs, singing into a hairbrush. Now take that same feeling and put it into a dark room with tons of space, your friends, and a sweet sound system. THAT'S what we do here.
NLNL (https://www.nolightsnolycra.com) is a substance-free, judgment-free event that started more than a decade ago in Australia and now happens in more than 50 communities all over the world, including right here in Austin, Texas.
Our resident DJ Brian Blackout and guests play a wide-ranging mix of genres: indie, electropop, synthpop, disco, dusty rock + R&B records, regular funk, future funk, synthwave, new wave, many other waves, and much more. See some of our previous NLNL playlists here: https://www.mixcloud.com/brianblackout/

Here’s what you need to know before your first NLNL:
--It doesn’t matter what you wear. Remember, it’s dark! Gym attire, loungewear—yes, even lycra if that’s what you’re feeling.
--No alcohol, no drugs. No strangers hitting on you. All phones and other glowy devices should be kept silent and in their un-glowy modes once the lights fully go out
--It’s open to all ages. No ticket purchase or RSVP required.
--People often come alone and dance alone (just like in all those songs).
--Bring water—it’s a workout!
