    Barbarella

    611 Red River, Austin Downtown

    Current aesthetic trends skew a bit too close to 10 years ago – you know, the big-brim hats, stomp-clap music, and general horror at what the U.S. just elected to its highest office – so why not kick things even further back to, say, the turn of the century? Aughts and Nineties pop, rap, hip-hop, and more spin out from behind DJs Napster and Netscape’s decks and onto the Barbs dance floor. Return every Thursday for a follow-up nostalgia hit until all the evil of the 2010s & 20s fades from your frontal lobe. – James Scott 512/476-7766
