British Invasion

Move over, Austin. There are plenty of places to dance to the beat of the ‘60s. . . .

* Encounter at LAX. Now you too can try out your best impression of Captain Kirk when you beam yourself aboard Spaceship Encounter on Friday nights. Experience the futuristic scenery and celebrate the past in your ‘60s get-up while the DJ spins an eccentric mix of songs from the decade. Find a yeoman or lieutenant at the bar to discuss “ship business” with. 209 World Way, L.A. Airport. (310) 215-5151. 18 and older. No cover.

* Solid at Fais-Do-Do. Groovy, baby! Be your own international man (or woman) of mystery at the location of the club scene in “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.” Defend the best in soul and mod sounds from the notorious Dr. Evil every first Saturday of the month. Prizes awarded for the most shagadelic dancers and dressers. Oh, behave! Scheduled next for Aug. 7. 5257 W. Adams Blvd., L.A. (323) 954-8080. All ages. $5 cover.

* Cafe Bleu at Tempest.

Ivar Ave., Hollywood. (323) 692-9113. 21 and older. $5 cover.
