Neon Indian fans will be happy to kick off their new year at One Step Beyond; the American Museum of Natural History’s evening concert series. Party-goers will be able to enjoy Neon Indian aka Alan Palomo perform a DJ Set of lush indie sounds accompanied by Airbird, and XXXChange at The Rose Center in the Hayden Planetarium. Just picturing it now seems absolutely surreal.
Guests are also invited to explore the Cosmic Pathway to the Hayden Big Bang Theater and enjoy beverages at the cash bar. I haven’t been this excited for an event in quite a while. This is definitely a different take on the regular run of the mill club and concert nights. The show kicks off at 9pm on Friday January 8th. Get your ticket now! http://bit.ly/1U50MXl
