Greenwich Village’s storied Salmagundi Art Club played host to the hipster set Thursday night as Nolita boutique I Heart, indie label Mooka Kinney, and T-shirt vixen Jessica Rotter joined forces to add some fashion pizzazz to the annual CMJ Music Marathon and Film Festival. The party certainly lived up to its location—”salmagundi,” noun, a mixture or miscellany—as style mavens rubbed elbows with off-duty rockers from the bands Spoon and the Rapture, as well as no less a personage than Ron Palillo, a.k.a Horshack of “Welcome Back, Kotter.” Rotter explained, “He’s my first guest artist! We met through a mutual friend, and I had no idea he made stoner wizard art. But as soon as I found out, I was like, oh yeah.” Even Natalie Portman breezed through the party, after Death From Above’s Sebastien Grainger took to the stage with side-project crew Les Montagnes, and just about the time most attendees were adjourning to the Beatrice Inn. Small Town Talk DJ Chad Brown was one of the few to who stuck around; his confreres in the L.A.-based trio had a few more songs to spin, and Brown wanted to put in a plug for his friend, Grey Ant designer Grant Krajecki. “I caught his show in L.A. on Tuesday,” Brown noted. “Amazing! Seriously, that guy’s leading the way. He’s holding up the glow stick for a whole new generation.”
