History of Tall Tees

Tall Tees was founded in 2016 by Pete Butta and Make Sure You Have Fun™ Founder Ryan “RB” Brown as a night dedicated to 2000s Hip Hop and R&B. From 2016 to early 2018, Spirit Lodge in Pittsburgh hosted one of the city's first and most popular monthly dance parties dedicated to the era, held on Thursday nights. After hosting over 18 shows with guest DJs such as GETLIVE!, DJ FEMI, DJ Red, DJ NY Giant, DJ SOLO DOLO, DJ Yamez, DJ Motormane, and DJ Bamboo, the party concluded when Pete Butta moved to New York City to continue his creative and musical career.

Fast forward to 2021, after the COVID-19 lockdown and receiving feedback from our audience, Make Sure You Have Fun™ revived the concept at their annual Black Wednesday 2021 to a widely positive reception. Starting in January 2022, Make Sure You Have Fun™ has hosted the party as part of their 5+ year residency at Spirit on the 2nd Saturday of each month. From launching Tall Tees Radio on MSYH.FM and opening up the stage for local and regional DJs such as DJ Breis Gordan, DJ COLEBLOODED, DJ Inception, Doctor Dap, Arie Cole, Lariches, THEO, Slim Tha DJ, tj groover, DJ QRX, DPHR and Icy Pisces, in addition to our inaugural New Haven, CT party, Tall Tees is back and here to stay.
