FRIDAY 13th March
Oh lord, this is the week I have been waiting for! I can enjoy the dystopian thrashing of trance music in a Diyonisean way, however I am a romanticist at heart — the romantic and dreamy melancholia to a beat of synth music is the real sound of my soul.
From Dalston Superstore this week, we get lesbian extravaganza FLAPS. “Womxn and LGBTQ+ energy”. Strap yourselves in (or on) for a windy flapping party! Enter through billowing flaps! Featuring JAY, Celeste, Dj Caring, Ornography, Elliott (Big Dyke Energy) DR GOBSHITE and Marie Malarie, as well as gogo from Sambouka & Tia Maria. 117 Kingsland High Street, E8 2PB, 9pm – 3am.
It’s INFERNO 5th anniversary! Happy anniversary cunty. Dark pop and techno sets the mood of sexy queer heaven-hellishness via dark queer underworld fixture WAX WINGS! Happy anniversary, Lewis G Burton. I’m hoping they will revive their Marilyn Manson EAT IT performance in celebration of their 5 years! Micks Garage, Hackney Wick, E9 5EN. 10pm – 6am.
SATURDAY 14th March
Fussy at The Yard gives us some gender deviancy from the likes of drag kings Clay Taurus, Cyro, Indy Nile and Monisuer Cookie. I love the sound of this event, which champions and emphasises self-expression which is a welcome palette cleanser from many of the alluring but sometimes staid clone queen events. I will try and pop down after I’ve got drunk and turned Irish! The Yard, Unit 2A, Hackney Wick, E9 5EN. 10pm – 3am.
And let’s finish off in a kaleidoscope of queer psychedelia in Sue Veneers. I heard Chester Hayes and Shay Malt will be in a caged podium together — that’s all I need to hear — see you there! Cell 200, 3 Vale Royal, N7 9AD. 11pm – 6am.
CASSANDRA’S SPECIAL CURIOSITIES
It’s Fran’s Birthday on Saturday at The Glory…. beginning half past 7. Some casual drinks with some toned and muscular vascular virile dancers. James Priestley (Secretsundaze) is doing a groovy DJ set with friend Loose Legs… I might go down and be their groupie!
