Lexus After Dark Event

To introduce their fifth hybrid, the CT 200h, Lexus launched the CT 200h After Dark Tour that premiered in the city that never sleeps, New York City, on October 16.

The After Dark Tour was held at Marquee Club, an ultra lounge in Chelsea district. The event allows guests a sneak preview of the new Lexus CT 200h and chat with a Lexus vehicle specialist while enjoying complimentary cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, and live music with The Honey Brothers and DJ Sky Ferreira.

I got there pretty early and there where already a number of guests waiting outside Marquee while a red Lexus CT 200h was parked outside the venue. Everyone who got in were given a pretty spiffy bracelet that you can almost wear on a night out in town. Then you are greeted by hostess carrying shots of rum and coke. The venue was transformed with LED walls surrounding the plush sofas and a stage for the band.


It was a pretty mixed crowd that attended the event and from different states. I talked to a couple who are from Georgia and got an invite to attend the event. Anyway, complimentary hors d'oeuvres composed of potatoes and caviar, lobster ravioli, baked calms, and lamb chops among others were served to the guest. And I must say, whoever was at the kitchen was doing an excellent job. The lamb chops was tender while the lobster ravioli and baked calms were really good.


After most of the guest have settled, the band - Honey Brothers - were introduced and started playing. A New York-based new wave folk band, the Honey Brothers is composed of Andrew Vladeck, Ethan Gold, DS Posner, Ari Gold and Adrian Grenier. Yup, you read that right, Adrian Grenier of Entourage, is the drummer of the band. They played a mix of country, folksy tunes to the delight of the crowd.

After the band ended, the guest were then asked to move into the second floor lounge from some desserts such as truffles and apple tarts while still enjoying the complimentary cocktails and dance to the tunes of DJ Sky Ferreira who played a mixture of hip-hop and pop music. The party ended at 11pm but guest where allowed to stay the rest of the night and still enjoy complimentary drinks all throughout the night.
