Lipgloss has announced it is moving to HQ, the same building it premiered in 21 years ago.
Michael Trundle has been running Lipgloss for over twenty years, but has had to move the DJ party several times in order to keep its ethos intact. And now it's taking off again: After more than six years at Milk Bar, Trundle is moving Lipgloss to HQ — taking the party back to the 60 South Broadway space where it debuted in 2001.
"They love some of what we play, but the problem is now I'm just playing more of those same songs every week instead of stuff that speaks to me, and I'm feeling stagnant," he continues."I'm not really stretching my wings and playing stuff I really want to, because I have to keep that crowd in the room so they don't wander off to another room. I've been doing this too damn long to get stuck in that rut.
This is the fifth move for Lipgloss, which was based at 60 South Broadway — then an obscure lesbian bar — from 2001 to 2004."On our last day there, we had Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce from the Smiths come guest-deejay for us," Trundles remembers. "There was a Brit-pop party, there was an ’80s party," Trundle recalls."And we wanted to do something that leaned Brit pop and indie, but we also were kind of open-format and just played music that's good to dance to but doesn't need to be a specific genre. So we were playing things like soul, Frank Sinatra, the Pixies, ’60s stuff like the Rolling Stones — just all over the board.
"There's also just been nights where we didn't have anything special, but things really jell and you're feeling the crowd and the crowd is feeling you, and it's just this overwhelming feeling of joy at the end of the night,” he muses. “And that's one of those things I'm starting to miss. I feel like we had that at Milk Bar for a time, but I just don't feel like I fit in there anymore, if that makes sense.
