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.

FAN RAVES
“PTown was amazing... who would ever expect the Killers, the Cult and Blur in a dance mix.... awesome.”
“BlowOff in PTown was AMAZING! Easily one of the best dance parties of my life. Thanks again for a rockin' good time!”
“Best music I've heard in Atlanta in years! Loved the party in Chicago too. Can't wait for the next time.”
“BLOWOFF ATL was amazing. thanks for a great night.”
“Blowoff San Francisco was dynamite! For those who wonder if women are welcome, I can attest that they are (women who are respectful of Bear territory, that is). One of my girlfriends and I met up with Bear pals, and had a trance dance of an evening in the testosterone palace that Bob and Richard so skillfully created.”
“Atlanta was awesome tonight!”
“You guys blew the house apart in NY last Friday. I can't wait to hear you again in PTown!!!”
“Thank you guys for bringing Blowoff to Chicago! I had an amazing time and will definitely try to plan any trips to Washington, D.C., or New York around Blowoff there.”
“Looking forward to tonight's Blowoff in chicago. Used to love going when I lived in DC.”
“Last night was hotness! thanks for the beats!”
“Can't wait for Saturday DJ Mould! Ready to be blown away.”
“You guys tore it up last night. Thanks for the groove.”
“The only reason I am attending IML/Bear Pride is Blowoff at the Metro. The perfect party at the perfect venue. If the Chicago event is as good as the two Blowoff's I was able to attend in San Francisco it is surely going to be THE event of the weekend.”
“Blowoff in SF was my first time and I loved it.This was an experience I'll never forget.”
“Saturday's Blowoff at Slim's was friggin' awesome. My first time, and I can't wait for May 9th!”
“Your last party during M.A.L. in Washington D.C. was insane!...GREAT PARTY!”
“Thank you for one amazing night here in SF. It has been too long since I have cracked open like I did the other night at Slim's. All I could see was a crowd of friends I love and new smiling faces and could NOT stop singing and shouting and jumping and groovin like there was no tomorrow. The "are we human or are we dancers" track had me cryin on the floor and huggin anyone that was close enough, hahahaha…With HUGE gratitude and appreciation.”
“Saturday night Blowoff reminded me that the DC nightlife is diverse, full of awesome people, and FUN. There, it's been said!!!”
“Blowoff is the best party ever!”
