Performance

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

1 upcoming performance in New York

At National Sawdust, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” reframes its pop-title familiarity as a live, multi-artist program in New York City. The lineup moves across rock and pop idioms, from Britton & The Sting and Lola Kirke with Odetta to Black Belt Eagle Scout and Mato Wayuhi with Ailani, with Bruce Brubaker Live! and a Friday the 13th dance party led by DJs Eli Escobar and Cosmo. The title also echoes a 1990s TV episode and a branching adventure game that adapted it, a reminder of how a phrase can travel between mediums. The night’s main claim is its collage-like structure, where genre becomes a method rather than a label.
