    Wowsville A-Go-Go at Niagara

    112 Ave. A, 212-420-9517

    At Friday’s Wowsville A-Go-Go, in the tiki-style basement of Niagara, rotating D.J.’s blast obscure sixties 45s, heavy on the fuzz guitar, as a go-go girl gyrates and a Hells Angel pours drinks. You’re likely to hear records that sound like the Kinks circa ’65 at Smashed! Blocked! at Rififi the first Saturday of the month; you’re just as likely to see guys who look like them. Both parties are free.
