As part of their ongoing W Happenings initiative (which previously saw BYT bring Peter Bjorn & John, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Twin Shadow, CSS and more for special afterparties) this past weekend saw ESL Music descend upon the hotel for a very special evening featuring live performances from members of the band and a dance party anchored by Eric Hilton's and Rob Garza's DJ Set. 700 people showed up (the free tickets went up in flames in about 3 minutes) and all that jazz.

ENJOY TERRIFIC PHOTOS NOW and watch this space for more W Happenings to come:
