Now you know you are on to something if you outgrow your original venue and fill the spot to capacity on your first night at the new spot. That’s exactly how it went down for the fellas who come through every month with HEY LUV. They had to leave Lucha for .Zack. It was the first time the three shifts that roll through the dance party over the course of the monthly “last Saturday” set were all partying together at the same time. I kept seeing folks that I would have to go and come back to catch when it was at the Lucha. Some of them had obviously never met, but kicked like old friends. I keep saying that HEY LUV turned Lucha into the African-American real-life adaptation of “Cheers.” I’m more convinced than ever as I jammed along to DJ J MO and Reminisce – and heard Shadzilla name-drop folks he managed to recognize in the darkness of the fourth floor of .Zack.
