Club Scout

Denver’s Alliance Plastique claims its goal is to connect “artists, producers and the proletariat” — which means you. The group’s humble Web site, www.apnow.net, sums up its stance against trendy dress-up games and “a bunch of sceney retards.” Not a haven for the nouveau anything, AP’s Panopticon, Sundays at the Larimer Lounge, is an intelligent, sexy and earthy fusion of ’80s new wave and more contemporary beatage. Milton-Bradley presides as the lo-frills club night’s resident mixmaster, and guests rotate weekly. Promoted as a good time for everybody who wants to dance and hear good music — from electroclash, synthpop and electronic to punk and everything in between — Panopticon is produced by people more interested in sounds than styles. Leave your tiara at home.
