Put on your poker face and head to The Basement’s Lady Gaga ball

Video Concept for Lady Gaga's '911' Was Originally Intended for Massive Attack .Tarsem Singh, who directed the promo for Gaga's latest single, has opened up about the concept. .Singh admitted he initially hoped to use it for a track by the trip hop band over 20 years ago.Around 20 years ago, I thought this would fit an idea for Massive Attack. I love their song, "Angel." But our schedules never worked, Tarsem Singh, to 'Entertainment Weekly'.I wanted to do it in Namibia in the sand dunes, but I'd already done [2000 film] 'The Cell' [in sand], so the idea kind of went away. Then, I got '911.' , Tarsem Singh, to 'Entertainment Weekly'.Despite eventually going on to use the concept for Gaga's new single, the filmmaker had previously "never heard a song" by the singer.I had the idea more like 28 years ago! I told her when we met that I've never heard a song of hers, I haven't seen ['A Star Is Born']. , Tarsem Singh, to 'Entertainment Weekly'.The best music video directors hear a song and they write a video for the song... I'll wait for the right song to fit [my ideas]. But I loved the song. I knew what to do with it.., Tarsem Singh, to 'Entertainment Weekly'

Little Monsters, put your paws up.

Lady Gaga is the theme for The Basement’s July 24 event. The venue is hosting The Gaga Ball: A Dance Party all about the pop songstress and actress.

“It’s a whole night of music and fashion inspired by Mother Monster herself. DJ Kimber will be playing all of your favorite Gaga songs so you can Just Dance and freak out, freak out, freak out (look at me). This is our dancefloor, we fought for,” the event description said.

Attendees are invited to “serve your very best Gaga-inspired looks” as part of a contest for the best costume. The winner will receive a Gaga-themed prize.

“We cannot wait to see what you bring because you were all born superstars,” the description said.

Tickets are $15 plus taxes and fees on eventbrite.com.

In addition to the Gaga Ball, DJ Kimber hosts the popular Heyday 80s party and Atlanta Disco Society among others. Kimber is the founder of NonsenseATL, the Atlanta party collective.

The Basement is an underground dance club and live music venue in East Atlanta Village.

“We’re the people under the stairs,” the venue’s Facebook page said. Past events include Smoothies: A Dance Party and Hot Mess Dance Pop Party.

“My kinda club right here! First time here was a few weeks ago when they played 90s/00s music (the best!). One minute it’s Ja Rule. Next minute it’s Mandy Moore. So yes, diversity for real. It felt like a large karaoke session. Good prices on drinks. They rotate themes each week. I had so much fun in this tight space. Best to check out the website before heading out. Tickets are a tad bit cheaper online. No strict dress code. Like Kurt Cobain said: come as you are,” one Yelp review said.
