Girl In a Coma

I was going to do a round up of TPR’s picks for this year’s Homo A Go Go, but as I was going through the list of 42 bands, it was clear that I couldn’t just pick a few to highlight (I’ll just keep up with some new faves and they’ll get their own post). The first year in SF, this seems to be the most fierce, with a 3 day craft fair, fashion shows, film screenings, visual art and workshops. If I were to name drop a few then Tender Forever, Sgt. Sass, The Casual Lust, (DON’T EVER MISS) Erase Errata, Hunx and His Punx, The Younger Lovers,  Madame Mort, MKNG FRNDZ, Richard OH?!, Girl in a Coma, (Former Chicagoan) Nomy Lamm, Katastrophe…is that almost all of them??? Anyhow, you West Coast beetches have no excuse, I would go in a heart beat if I wasn’t the poorest I’ve ever been in my life. This is fucking next week, August 13-16th Age 21 and over: $70, Under age 21: $35. Full schedule and tickets at homoagogo.com

Hercules Mixtape Smooth and 90′s

Deep house has been bubbling in dance music circles again, and while I don’t really play it, I do appreciate the unashamed 90′sness. And FOR SURE I’ll take it over dubstep ANY day. Renaissance released their first in their “Sidetracked” mixtape series, and wisely chose Hercules & Love Affair to kick it off. On point, on trend and on step with Andy Butler’s side of smooth, this is a party mix for sure. Buy it over at Renaissance’s page and have a listen to a sample track, Sunshine by Fax Yourself.

New Katastrophe!

Confession: I’ve never lusted after a hip-hop transman they way I did when Katastrophe was in Chicago for Queer Fest Midwest in ’07, and I WAS shy about it but that doesn’t stop me from STILL thinking about it. What a talented cutie! Katastrophe has a new record coming out in the fall, its called “The Worst Amazing”on 307 Knox Records and its first single is “Big Deal,” video below. The vid is a re-telling of when Valerie Solanas shot Andy Warhol, and I would totally keep that wig in Rocco while cuddling. Download the song on MUZORAMA. and catch him next at Homo-A-Go – Go next week on the 15th.
