On Friday, June 28, BLOWOFF, the alt/rock/electro dance party featuring DJs Bob Mould and Richard Morel, returns to NYC to celebrate its 5th anniversary as one of the most anticipated events happening during NYC Pride Week.

The June date will also mark the BLOWOFF debut at the party's new venue, The Gramercy Theater (23rd St. between Park Ave. and Lexington Ave.)

Hosted and tag-team DJed by esteemed indie rocker Bob Mould and renowned singer/songwriter/producer and remixer Richard Morel, the BLOWOFF dance parties attract a wide cross-section of mostly men (women welcome!). On any given BLOWOFF dancefloor one will find a healthy mix of types, from music-loving hipsters, to beer-drinking men's men, to dance music enthusiasts, leather daddies and muscle men like those featured in BLOWOFF's signature artwork, by Baltimore-based artist Linas Garsys.

His follow-up to the smoking' hot Brutal Truth (April 2012, Bruno Gmünder), Beautiful Imperfections is the first commercially published book of photographs shot entirely with the Hipstamatic iPhone camera App. The resulting 10" x 10" coffee table book contains over 120 tough/tender signature Alago portraits. 

After a legendary music career during which he went from booking U2's first New York City gig at the Ritz at age 21, to hanging out with Mapplethorpe to partying with Iggy Pop and David Lee Roth in the men's room of the famed Peppermint Lounge, to discovering and signing Metallica, and signing Nina Simone to her last album deal (A Single Woman), Alago turned to photography. We can all thank the Rough Gods that he did. More about Michael Alago here. 6 dyptichs from the book after the jump.
