About Earlybirds Club:
Earlybirds Club is a dance party designed for women that starts at 6pm and ends at 10pm — because we have sh*t to do in the morning!
At Hip-Hop & R&B Night, we’re spinning the tracks that raised us and still run us. From Biggie to Beyoncé, from TLC to Tupac, from Missy to Mary J. Blige…the tracks that taught us confidence, rhythm, and how to dramatically mouth lyrics into a hairbrush.
Earlybirds Club is more than a night out — it’s a judgment-free, joy-forward space where kindness, good vibes, and sensible footwear rule. Come as you are — Timbs, hoops, oversized jerseys, or your coziest sneakers — there’s plenty of room on the dance floor for everyone.
10% of ticket proceeds benefit Adelante Mujeres, which empowers Latinas and their families to become strong community leaders through education, leadership training, and enterprise opportunities.
Note: By purchasing these tickets, you are consenting to be photographed for promotional purposes. People of all backgrounds and identities are encouraged to attend all of our events.
About Bôa:
In 1998, British alt-rock band bôa dropped their breakout single “Duvet,” a sweeping anthem that went on to soundtrack the Japanese cult-classic anime Serial Experiments Lain. Nearly two decades later, “Duvet” re-emerged anew on TikTok, igniting a feverish renewed interest in the band (today “Duvet” boasts over 1b streams on Spotify alone) and inspiring bôa to return to the studio to record their first new music in over 20 years.
In between, the members of bôa have simply lived life. Their extended hiatus, which began in 2004, brought no hostility, no dejection, no gripes. Vocalist-guitarist Jasmine Rodgers studied zoology, alongside releasing solo music. Bassist Alex Caird threw himself into art, painting, and teaching music. And drummer Lee Sullivan ensconced himself in family life while writing and producing music. That time apart gave them a heap of life’s experiences for a new, third official full-length album Whiplash (out October 18, Nettwerk), a collection of melody-driven narratives. The album’s title is multifaceted, referencing their personal highs and lows, but also our collective cultural unrest. Whiplash, however, chisels away at both — envisioning a community in pursuit of solace.
Now with new music and as their TikTok fanbase will tell you, those universal sentiments — pain, solitude, triumph — immediately transcend any generational divide. And that’s how 25 years later, bôa feels impossibly new again. bôa is compelling proof that time is indeed a circle.

About Bôa:
In 1998, British alt-rock band bôa dropped their breakout single “Duvet,” a sweeping anthem that went on to soundtrack the Japanese cult-classic anime Serial Experiments Lain. Nearly two decades later, “Duvet” re-emerged anew on TikTok, igniting a feverish renewed interest in the band (today “Duvet” boasts over 1b streams on Spotify alone) and inspiring bôa to return to the studio to record their first new music in over 20 years.
In between, the members of bôa have simply lived life. Their extended hiatus, which began in 2004, brought no hostility, no dejection, no gripes.
