Nightlife Photography: Lipgloss at La Rumba Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary with BAIO (Vampire Weekend)
Denver’s longest-running indie dance club night, Lipgloss, turned 10 years old last Friday. Special guest BAIO (Chris Baio from Vampire Weekend) was on decks, joining resident DJs boyhollow and Option4. Check out the slideshow below, or visit the Lipgloss Flickr Stream to see the photos from this awesome party! Needless to say, this was a momentous date and a big deal for Lipgloss, which has gathered national attention and regularly brings big-name musical talent to Denver.

Goodbye Chase Dobson, Hello Option4! Photos from Lipgloss at La Rumba (2.25.11)
Chase Dobson played his last set as a resident DJ at Lipgloss on February 25. DJ Option4 (Brennen Bryarly) took his place a the new resident DJ alongside Boyhollow (Michael Trundle). I will definitely miss Chase, but Brennen is also a super nice guy and an awesome DJ, so I’m sure he’ll make a great addition to the Lipgloss team.
It’s difficult to believe that I have been a photographer at Lipgloss (Denver’s longest running indie dance club night), since early 2007. It was my first nightlife photography gig. I never seriously planned on becoming a nightclub photographer; it happened purely by chance when I took some photos at Rockstar Aaron‘s birthday party and he subsequently introduced me to Tyler “Danger” Jacobson, who was one of the founders of Lipgloss. Tyler liked my photos and ended up hiring me as their resident photographer. In the following years, I’ve shot dance parties and nightlife events all over Denver, for venues such as Rockbar, Bender’s Tavern, Beauty Bar, and since becoming the Denver Nightlife Photography Examiner - at dozens of other clubs and entertainment venues.
I have slowed down on nightlife photography in the last few months, save for my regular gig at Lipgloss and some other special events on occasion. Mainly, because I wanted to focus more on what I originally wanted to do – video production and filmmaking.
Check out the slideshow from Chase Dobson’s last night at Lipgloss below or see the full Flickr set here.
