Flavorpill Easy to Swallow

Normally, Flavorpill tells the alcohol-inclined what events are worth going to. Turns out, they throw pretty decent bashes themselves. Take, for instance, the monthly One Step Beyond dance parties at the American Museum of Natural History's Rose Center. "You know you're in for a good time," says Flavorpill's VP of Talent Relations, Lynnel Herrera. Before the warm-weather museum parties start up (think Summer Sessions at Cooper-Hewitt) and Cai Guo-Qiang's galloping, taxidermied wolves are still limiting capacity at the unbelievably crowded Guggenheim First Fridays (where the sole bar is always difficult to get to and nobody really dances anyway), check out OSB's next event—indie techno artist Matthew Dear on April 25th from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m.
Their last show was duo Simian Mobile Disco, who played a sweaty, sold-out set before heading to Miami for Winter Music Conference. In a spiked version of everyone’s locked-in-a-museum fantasy, partygoers wander the majestic, futuristic setting bathed in fluorescent stage lights, watch from the balcony for a backstage, aerial view of the deejay booth, and—best yet—listen (for free!) to Harrison Ford investigate universal riddles as he narrates The Search for Life: Are We Alone? in Hayden Planetarium. Unlike ANMH’s winter ball, you don’t have to worry about bumping into socialites and other quasi-celebs—although you might see someone much more exciting, like Kanye, who recently showed up unannounced to throw down with DJ A-Trak and Kid Sister.
