Lipstick at Old Ironsides

From Cultural Capital by Chris Macias:
It’s hard to think of Sacramento’s dance scene without Lipstick in the mix. For more than a quarter-century, DJs Shaun Slaughter, Adam Jay and Roger Carpio created a Sacramento indie-dance institution with the monthly Lipstick party. But after all these years, and nearly 300 gigs later, Lipstick is going silent. Kind of.
Saturday marks the final night with Lipstick as a monthly event. But before dropping tears on your favorite LCD Soundsystem or Ladytron vinyl: Slaughter insists that Lipstick will return in some way.
“After 26 years, I’d like to give every event under the Lipstick banner all the energy we have and it’s hard to do that every month,” he said in a Facebook message. “I really just wanna be excited every time we do it and for people to feel that.”
Now, the Lipstick crew will catch its collective breath. Shaun says Lipstick could re-emerge as an occasional special event or be re-shaped another way. But after Saturday, Lipstick as a monthly will be just a memory. And those euphoric floor-stomping nights will very much be missed.
