Athens Boys Choir and Katastrophe to tear up Dunes

Athens Boys Choir's Katz

Although it is unlikely that we will ever get that oh-so-catchy pop sensation “Fagette“ out of our heads Athens Boys Choir is back with a brand new single and video for “EZ Heeb.” He’ll bring it live to the stage, along with fellow trans rapper Katastrophe this Thursday at Dunes (1905 NE MLK, 9pm $5).

Unfortunately, once again qPDX was unable to attend one of the it parties of the year, The Red Dress soiree which hosted its “Red Eye” themed soiree last Saturday. Luckily, over 2000 clad in in red gowns were in attendance at the benefit for those living with HIV and AIDS.

From fellow local blogger Byron Beck:

Last year’s RDP was more of a political meet and greet (perhaps that had to do with the fact Chelsea Clinton crashed the soiree), but this year’s party seemed to go back to its roots as a literally balls-to-the-wall blow-out of drunken debauchery (thank god).

A daytime view of Rumpspankers

Last Friday our Nopo prayers were answered when Fruitcake, a new queer dance night, took over Rumpspankers on Northeast Dekum. And if the packed house and slew of bicycles parked at the door is any indication, a repeat performance is most surely in order.

How long have I been missing a new queer social night right in my neighborhood? I actually have no idea. But this Friday April 24th Fruitcake, a queer social night held at the absolutely adorable Rumpspankers Pub (700 NE Dekum), right on one of the next blossoming streets, hosts a special fundraiser for Fat Fancy.

There’s a lot of us queerions that make our way through the pathways of PCC Cascade on a daily basis, so I sometimes forget that the main campus is really Sylvania, even if it is all the way out in the ‘burbs. And this week is Sylvania’s Queer Pride Week, put on by their Women’s Resource Center.

Events include:

Aside from the fact that Red Cap might not be a terribly safe place to leave an open bar tab it’s a solid venue with just the right amount of indoor and outdoor seating, dancing and standing looking butch and cool watching the dance floor areas. Once you ad lube wrestling, you really can’t go wrong.

Lube Job at Red Cap Garage

It’s about time we all got our engines revved and ready for the impending months of pride. The season is already off to an auspicious start with the emergence of a plethora of new weekly and monthly club nights, but tonight may bring a particularly steamy theme when Red Cap Garage (1035 SW Stark) hosts the very first “Lube Job.”

Two great Holocene nights have combined forces for one night only. This Saturday will see the emergence of DoubleSnap!, a delicious intermingling of the girl power party Doubledown with the funky fresh “I love the 90s” style of Snap!

Featuring an amalgamation of DJs from around the city and mostly culling from Hot Mess and the Portland Radio Authority talent pools, this thing promises to be a dance party staple for the ages.

It’s on a Wednesday and it is way the hell out there. These aspects of a new queer dance night that popped up in North Portland lead me to think it might not rise to the ranks of a truly popular queer destination. But then again, 4 or 5 years ago a little night called Booty opened up all the way up in what was then the middle of nowhere, in a tiny bar called Porky’s and it became a night of queer Portland legend.
