LA BOUM THE HOT HUMP-NIGHT PARTY AT BARDOT

LA WEEKLY COVERS ANA BIRTHDAY

If the success of Juno, Napoleon Dynamite and anything by Judd Apatow is a sign, the line between nerdy and studly is gone, dead, kaput, and it’s not a Jedi mind trick. Even in Hollywood at many of the hippest/flippest clubs in town, fuzzy, gawky types are gettin’ all the attention — and action. Take La Boum, the hot hump-night party at Bardot (the space above The Avalon formerly known as Spider Club, gorgeously redone to recall the building’s Deco splendor). Last Wednesday, the party’s promoter, Ana Calderon (Dim Mak), celebrated her birthday with an impromptu music show on the club’s semi-outdoor patio, featuring the likes of Simon Dawes, Rooney’s Taylor Locke, The White Arrows and, for the grand finale, the Moldy Peaches’ Adam Green and Har Mar Superstar. All were somewhat unruly-tressed, dowdily dressed-down types (one dude wore boxers and had bare feet; another had a flag towel on his head). Still, they had the usually blasé broods grinning and grooving nonstop, even Nightranger. Really, what’s not to like about musicians with real music chops delivering with awkward, gooberish sweetness? (It made Weezer famous, after all.) The gals who took the stage were more traditionally magnetic — vintage-frocked trio The Like and the enchanting doll-like C.C. Sheffield, but in all it was a highly amusing and mixed musical melting pot, not unlike the crowd itself. Behind us sat a healthy looking DJ AM and SBE’s Jennifer Rosero, while to our right, Peaches Geldof giggled and dragged on ciggies with a gaggle of similarly hippie-esque hotties. Newly single Benji Madden tried to keep a low pro with pal Steve Aoki in a corner booth, but he needn’t have worried. Proving our point above, the most wanted man seemed to be Superbad’s Jonah Hill, who was fielding female fans all night. La Boum, also co-promoted by Sheffield and former Viper Room booker Melissa Hernandez, is usually a DJ-only weekly party that’s refreshingly un-electro-driven. (Rock and retro dance faves rule the decks here, and past spinners have included Devendra Banhart and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.) You must know the week’s secret password (or, it seems, be a hip boho-hobo type or geek-chicster) to get in.

LA BREA +3rd street MURAL by retna

Ive know retna for about 6 years when i moved to LA i worked for a hip hop clothing label and got to know different graffiti artist, the mac, saber, and more. so my friend cory said the mac and retna was going to do a photoshoot for some walls, i was in my car and at the loft in 20 minutes. we did a fun quick photo shoot and then about a month later on la brea was a big portrait of me in blue. its been up for about two years and i feel honored to be apart of the landscape of L.A. Its important to me to support artist. I like to collaborate and be a muse.

NME blogs about ANAs Bday party @ la boum

NME's Laura Ferreiro writes:


If I were to throw myself a birthday bash on a moment's notice, it would most likely comprise my three besties and me getting sauced on a fine box of red.

Not so with Dim Mak Records marketing maven Ana Calderon, who broadcast word of her birthday at 10:00am Wednesday and had Adam Green of The Moldy Peaches, Har Mar Superstar and The Like serenading her a mere 12 hours later.

I suppose it doesn't hurt if you have one of LA's trendiest nightclubs at your disposal. Held at Bardot at the Avalon until the wee hours, La Boum on Ana's birthday saw some pretty strange musical collaborations go down. Adam Green and Har Mar Superstar got very intimate during theirs, as you can see.

But then model Cory Kennedy decided to butt in.
Later, Adam serenaded Ana with his original tune, 'The Birthday Mambo'.
Party co-host CC Sheffield of Le Rev brought along her K9 friend, while The Like girls (who are putting the finishing touches on their sophomore album) performed with each other and later spun off for duets with Taylor Locke of Rooney and Elected bassist Michael Runion.
A happy and healthy-looking DJ AM stopped by, as did Peaches Geldof, Steve Aoki, Jonah Hill and a wistful Benji Madden.

Ana, who along with Dim Mak label founder Steve Aoki, has helped bring the likes of Bloc Party, Mystery Jets and Klaxons to this side of the pond, was beaming all night, no doubt relieved that she wouldn't end up with a boxed-wine hangover the next morning.
