Sam Sparro does Brooklyn

Australian-born singer-song-writer stud, Sam Sparro rocked it out in Brooklyn this weekend for The Danger's Halloween Last Masquerade party. In keeping with the low-profile concept of The Danger, Sam sported a neon-green-hazmat-suit-style top, covering his face while he spun house beats. Only at the end of his set did he belt out one of his records- none other than his most popular single "Black and Gold"- and reveal his face.


His unmistakeable vocals were definitely on point; it's just too bad they weren't exercised sooner. While the lyric-less house music kept people moving, there's nothing like a great pop song to get them jumping. I was smashed at the front of the stage between Kiss-clad rockers and 1920s flapper dancers, squealing like a school girl with a pair of pre-pubescent-looking gay guys- some of Sam's only obvious fans. 3 minutes of Black and Gold was enough for me to channel my inner Sparro-meets-Lady-GaGa(<--my Halloween costume) for outrageous dance moves, but I think we all wished there'd been more. I prefer the 80s-tastic hits like Clingwrap and 21st Century Life to his latest collaboration with Basement Jaxx, but check it out for yourself...
