“Be Yourself Change the World
If that concept isn't’t fucking genius! It’s also the theme for the 32nd annual gay pride celebration in San Francisco. There are many ignorant stereotypes about the LGBT community. But when it comes to the one about the queer scene having the best music, well it’s hard to dispute. This weekend’s celebration features ten amazing stages of performances including speakers, drag shows, live bands, and of course DJs! Some highlights include David Harness, Pete Avila, Anita Lofton, Ruben Mancias, DJ Dragn’fly and Miss Honey Dijon. That’s just from the Fag Fridays stage! The main stage features that super diva from Soft Cell, Marc Almond of “Tainted Love” fame [Site]. Continue rocking new wave style with Dead or Alive singing “Spin me Round” [Site]. Then make sure to dance your way over to the Tantra trance stage, the Latin stage and so many more. For a complete lineup check out [Site] Event: Gay Pride Celebration, Date: Saturday 6/29, Sunday 6/30, Time: noon-7pm, Place: Civic Center, Admission: free, More Info

With all this to look forward to, it would be MUY MAL--(for those who cut too many Spanish classes, that means WHACK) to miss out. Big Thanks to Leavy for translation skills.

King Britt is from the great city of Philly. He grew up with a lil’ James Brown, a lil’ Duke Ellington and a lot of East Coast early hip-hop from Grandmaster Flash and Jazzy Jeff. The inevitable 80’s new wave thing came on the scene and added to his expanding electronic musical interest. Collecting records and DJing led him to meet his friend and label partner, DJ Josh Wink. Josh keeps it tech and King likes in funky forming a great team. King has worked with artists like Digable Planets, Tori Amos, the Solsonics and more. San Francisco is going to love to hear this East coast funky sound.

DJ Assault AKA Craig Adams from Detroit calls his music “accelerated funk” genre whores call it ghetto-tech. Whatever you call it the booties are bouncing to fat-ass beats that combine drum n’ bass with hip-hop techno and Miami bass. Craig started mixing records in 1982, influenced by the techno Godfathers like Jeff Mills. Since then he has rocked parties all over North America as well as Germany, Holland, France and Spain.

Event: Juke Joint
Venue: Julip

Music: electrofunk, soul, jazz, punk+
Cover: Free
If I could take Juke Joint and make it into a sit com starring characters like Ted Shred, Nancy Naughty, Uncle Abe, Monte Carlo, Vin Sol and Tommy Guererro and Toph One, I bet it would be a hit on the WB. I’m thinking like a mix between Happy Days and Welcome Back Kotter. Then if I separately sold the soundtrack of the show like they try to do with Dawson’s Creek, I could make millions. Juke Joint ranges from electro to R&B, punk, new wave and of course, hillbilly funk.
