Introducing "Up In Da Club with Alexander Thompson"

NEXT »

"Unleashing the content" is a big catch phrase used around PAPERMAG HQ these days. With that in mind, we are pleased, delighted and thrilled to inform you that we'll be bringing Alexander Thompson's fierce New York Nightlife shots (plus outtakes and a little write-up) from PAPER magazine's much-ogled-at front-of-the-book Cultural Sushi section to the world wide web, in the form of a regular blog, "Up in Da Club with Alexander Thompson." Without further ado, here are scenes from a recent M.I.A. after-party at Studio B.

Everyone's favorite superstar M.I.A. recently played a sweaty Friday night show at McCarren Park Pool. Blonde press darling Oxy Cottontail hosted the after-party, which brought loads of Williamsburg hipster types to Studio B. The place was packed with M.I.A. wannabees... both male & female! Studio B is like a flashback to the '80s -- a small euro dance club that is always savvy with its great, semi-famous yet underground DJs and bands. Some of these kids can't stop dressing like extras in a Visage video. American Apparel must be making loads of dough!
