About the party

Matinée Social Club brings a holiday edition of its Matinee Disco to Joyface, the 70s-style cocktail lounge on Avenue C in the East Village, on Saturday, December 12. It is an early party, from 5 PM to 10 PM, so you can dance and still be home at a reasonable hour.

What to expect

An early-evening disco party dressed up for the holidays, with festive decor, holiday treats, special performances, bubbles and confetti. Pizza is served around 8 PM and is included with the ticket, per the listing. For this edition the promoter encourages ugly sweaters, winter chic, ski lodge looks or other festive outfits and costumes. My take: this is for 30 and 40 somethings who love disco and pop classics but would rather not start dancing at midnight, which is the crowd the promoter says it is aimed at.

Music and lineup

70s disco, funk, Motown, 80s pop and 90s dance, with artists like ABBA, Donna Summer, Madonna, Rick James, Crystal Waters and Robyn named as reference points, plus some holiday songs. The promoter says Matinée is hosted by disco and dance DJs but does not name who plays this night. The listing says the music builds by 6 PM.
