Upstairs at Grand Central — the immense downtown live music venue — is the Garret, which functions as an independent space. It is the perfect size for smaller shows and weekly parties. Though one-off shows and events have had varied levels of success, the Garret’s Friday-night party, Peachfuzz, is a clear winner. As the name implies, the party takes you back to middle school days (if you were born in the ’80s), when you swore the light patch of hair on your upper lip was a mustache to rival Tom Selleck’s. Spearheaded by Raul Sanchez and Pres Rodriguez (both formerly of Bar), the hip-hop dance party recalls a time when Trick Daddy tried to take it to the house and Biggie’s death was still fresh on our minds. Resident DJ DZA provides the soundtrack you first danced to in your school’s cafetorium with the hottest girl/boy on campus. Or at least he helps you remember it that way.
