 QBoy will be at Crown Room Thursday June 18th I know we’re all barely recovered from Pride, but tomorrow already sees two great competing nights out. The queer party at the Crown Room (205 NW 4th), Delicious, has been a laid back dance party sensation for a few months now, but this Thursday the party steps it up with rhymes coming all the way from the UK with a live performance by queer rapper QBoy.

Indeed, here they are in a video with Chris Walla listening to their new music and they’re stoked too!

Perhaps that’s enough… new music from Tegan and Sara on […]  'City of Borders' Relative newby to Portland’s extensive film festival scene, QDoc has, nevertheless, gotten the city in a tizzy.

Director Jean Frazzini takes to the inter-tubes to talk about Oregon’s path to marriage. Angela Zapata’s brother makes a tearful and emotionally moving statement to the press after the sentencing of Allen Andrade, who was convicted yesterday of first-gree murder and a hate crime.  Men: Ginger Brooks, Takahashi, JD Samson and Michael O’Neill MEN, a project largely piloted by Le Tigre’s JD Samson, now includes Michael O’Neill (Princess, Ladybug Transistor) and Ginger Brooks Takahashi (LTTR, The Ballet) with Johanna and artist Emily Roysdon contributing as writers, consultants, and producers.
