Big Freedia plays Friday at Buck & Bounce 5 and his DJ and backup dancer join fellow DJ Beyonda at Mrs. Seattle '94 on Saturday
Thursday
DirtBag! – Thursday night fav with a penchant for late night Smiths jams. A promise and a warning. Special guest DJ Freddie Fagula this week is sure to make it a class act.
Friday
Big Freedia at Buck & Bounce 5 – We ain’t got nothin’ on New Orleans when it comes to boo-tays, but luckily Queen of the Nola sissy bounce scene Big Freedia loves li’l old white and nerdy PDX. She can get our asses on the dancefloor. Awkward hipsterdom be damned!
Feelin’ Alright pre-tour jam sesh – Miss classic rock and folk but not the douchey-ness that can sometimes go along with it? Instead listen to the greats, including Dylan, Marley, Seger, Janis, Grace, Joni in this all night goodbye fest featuring Kaia Wilson (Team Dresch, The Butchies), Jenny Hoyston (Erase Eratta) and Katy Davidson (Dear Nora).
Bent! – One of my all time favs (really, I named it number #1 of 2010). How could I forget ye?
Saturday
Mrs. Seattle ’94 – Don the flannel, docs, and Grandpa cardigans for this grunge revival. Plus we get the boot-knockin’ sounds of Big Freedia‘s DJ Rusty Lazer and backup dancer Corrine Floppyspeedo (of NOLA’s Go Homo! Party). I’m lookin’ for a date in striped stockings and a baby doll dress to relive my teenage dream. Any takers?
Notorious with ChiChi and Chonga – Hardest werkin’ DQuties ChiChi and Chonga are hosting a free party with just the right amount of live music from the duo and a dance move contest with music from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and today. No cover and $2.50 wells with current drag darlings is a damn deal for a Saturday night.
TacocaT, Forever, Sexhair and NO/HO/MO!! – Punk rawk basement show for the homos. Easy stumbling distance to Javier’s.
Fresh featuring DJ George “The Mixologist” – Salem’s hottest spot is keepin’ it fresh with mashups and visuals that will make stoners feel like acid heads.
Sunday
Love Hurts RETURNS – You don’t have to be bold to be brave. Kink and kink curious folks are usually pretty friendly, and you want to be friendly too, just slap your name up on the “Come and Get Me” board and sit back and wait for the hotties to hop yer jock. Organized and safe, there may be a couple hoops to jump through so make sure you get your ticket and RSVP in advance. It’s a small price to pay to play with hot and heavy willing beauties with a barrel o’ safe sex materials.
