A new wave party with the Boys Don't Cry theme at Swan Dive.
Boys Don't Cry is taking over Swan Dive on Saturday, August 15, for a new wave party. The whole night is built around that one theme, so if you've got a thing for the synth-heavy, danceable side of the late seventies and early eighties, this is exactly the kind of night you're looking for.
New wave is a broad tent, and that's what works here. It's the sound of the era when pop music started leaning into synthesizers and dance floors, and the party is built on that. If you've spent any time digging through those records, you know the territory: the bright, punchy lines and the steady beat that keeps the room moving. It's a specific kind of energy that's hard to find outside of a dedicated night like this.
Swan Dive is the spot, right in the heart of Austin, and the party kicks off at 9:30 PM. It's a Saturday night, so it's a late start that carries well into the early hours, and the new wave theme runs through the whole thing. If you're into that sound, it's a good excuse to get out and spend a few hours with it.
