The Sunday Night Dance Party with DJ Larry Rodriguez,  a.k.a the Flower Vato, has been jammin' off the hinges for more then 10 years and is definitely a destination for a ladies night out. DJ Larry has been a Sacramento staple since the early '90s and carries an arsenal of upbeat, hip-swaying good tunes that range from R&B, hip-hop, dance, funk and much more. Together, DJ Larry and the Press Club make each Sunday evening affair a safe haven for all women with its recent vow to escort any person from its club that harasses or intimidates any woman just trying to dance and have a good time. So, feel free to let loose to the tunes of Earth, Wind & Fire, '90s hip-hop, and all the funk those pumps can handle.
