Party Monster.

Most of you know the original Party Monster as Michael Alig. MA is the co-founding member of the New York-based, notorious Club Kids, a group of young clubgoers led by long time best friend James St. James and Alig in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

This group is long gone, however a new generation of Club Kids (minus all the drugs and murder… hahah) has arisen, right here in Newark, NJ. For those of you who are not familiar with the crew, The Party Monsters are a party/promtional team who are made up of the Ironbound’s most lively party people.

They love to party, dj, and breathe life into already established venues. They have partnered with local business’ such as Arena Lounge, Brick City Bar & Grill, Misavi, Hell’s Kitchen Lounge and even art’s organizations such as Jajo Gallery. They are also known for a series of AfterHours parties they have put together of the last few years.

Last night I received a text ordering me to get down to Hell’s Kitchen for a surprise bash for the Party Monsters! It is their two year anniversary.

It was a really wonderful party. Individuals crawled out from all types of bars, clubs and who knows where!

Needless to say, the champagne was flowing and we shut the bar down… Check out a few of the pics below-

Six DJs group together for a shot! They all have a great love for love music, and each other!

DJ Deesh is addressing the crowd! He gave a shout out to GlocallyNewark. Thanks DJ Deesh!
