#3: UNITED KINGDOM! LONDON! The New York one came second. The London one is the big sister. DIY regular East end London gay indie parties. Every second Saturday, Upstairs at the Garage. Sleazy punk, riot grrl, electro, rap, etc. Bands like Gravy Train!!!! playing live. You know it makes sense. Every third Saturday at the Pleasure Unit. A disco for girls, gays and misfits. Even fatties and gingers! Even fat gingers! BRISTOL! A night of indie, electro, riot grrrl and 80s pop, for the discerning homosexual who loathes hard house.

#4: L.A.! Home of Vaginal
Crème Davis and many indie gay porn stars like Cole
Tucker, recent gay indie events include: An effort to the return to Café Society Paris, Roaring Twenties, and Weimar Berlin. The style and allure of the 1920s 'flaming' youth movement and sub culture, ripe with wit, whimsy and subversion. More like a British gay club, but in LA.

Great gay bar in San Fran that has live rock bands every Thursday night, and is a good place to see a show. They spin excellent music there too every night, as opposed to the usual gay bar crapola. Nice outdoor patio too! Great list of queer (many underground) events happening in the Bay area. #6: OTHER! Unfortunately, although Chicago started a lot of this with their Homocore Scene, they haven't really been throwing parties since 2000… And Detroit as well doesn't seem to have much happening specifically relating to Indie Queer stuff. Boston and Atlanta, at last check also do not seem to have much going for them. But that could change! Start an event. Make it happen… If your queer indie event is not listed here, and you want it to be, drop us an email. What's happening outside London? Let us know! |
