Throw It Back
Details
Friday nights on West 4th are not for taking it easy—they’re for THROW IT BACK, the weekly queer dance party that cranks the nostalgia and the volume at Oilcan Harry’s.
On June 12, 2026 at 9:00 p.m., the bass drops and DJ Kavika takes over, blasting crowd-pleasing throwbacks, pop bangers, and everything you secretly (or not-so-secretly) love to scream-sing. The dance floor fills fast, lights flash, and suddenly you’re in a blur of glitter, sweat, and pure weekend energy.
All-night dance vibes: DJ Kavika keeps the tracks coming so you can relive your favorite eras and invent some questionable new moves along the way.
The Strip-Off at 11:30 p.m.: When the clock hits 11:30, the spotlight swings to the Strip-Off, where boldness is the dress code and $150 in cash is on the line.
Hosted by Cheeki Khant: Sharp wit, fearless energy, and a talent for turning the Strip-Off into a show you’ll be talking about all week.
Totally unapologetic fun: Loud music, bold moves, messy memories—in the most legendary way possible.
Whether you’re there to serve looks from the sidelines or to hop onstage and compete, THROW IT BACK is made for anyone ready to dance hard, cheer loud, and leave with zero regrets.
