Going In Style Sound System


The Going In Style Sound System was founded by Dead Flowers Productions head honcho Mr. Lee in effort to spread total sonic joy across the Five Boroughs and beyond! We currently run the long-running monthly Modern Needs* party at Banter bar (the original party was at the much-missed Last Exit.). The night is hosted by Mr. Lee, and features special guest DJs and monthly musical themes. Other parties hosted by G.I.S. (past and present) include Dreams To Remember, Lightning & Thunder!, Drakkar Knights, Tangled Up In Glue, City Slang, and Motor City's Rock'N'Roll Happy Hour.
