 'Put it in your mouth' with Wyatt Riot For awhile there was a Facebook group trying to get local queer foodie Wyatt Riot his own show on Logo. I don’t think it got very far. But Wyatt doesn’t need MTV networks to make homos in PDX want to know about the best food carts and places to put it in your mouth. I mean, Portland was recently voted #1 by [...]  STLS Check out the drumazingness put forth by local queerions STLS. Their genre-making drumcore duo, comprised of Lisa Schonberg (Explode Into Colors) and sts (The Haggard, Cadallaca) will blow your mind away with their dueling kits. The pair are going on tour on the west coast this September to celebrate the upcoming release of their 7″ (I didn’t even know anyone still did that…) on Sept 7th on Kill Rock [...]  So Wednesday I posted a Cazwell video for the boys, so I figured the brand new release from girl favorites Tegan and Sara would be a good balance. And now the twins have different haircuts so you can tell them apart. Bonus! Like
 Cazwell isn’t even a little bit local. In fact, this summer was probably the first time he’s been to Portland. But I love his simple hip pop and his unabashed lewdness, and this boystown reaction to Katy Pery’s summer anthem is getting almost as much attention as a Lady Gaga video. And are there hot, sweaty men flashing brightly colored underwear, licking matching popsicles and ice cream cones? Check. So here [...]  Discussing our excitement over the upcoming reunion show with The Need a few days before last Friday’s finale a friend commented that she was worried that they wouldn’t still have it. That they were (as we are) getting older, hadn’t played in awhile, and who knows what kind of skills they’ve lost in the lackadaisical interim (I’m exaggerating her comments here for effect). But I needn’t have worried. Because last Friday [...]  SOUL REVOLUTION: *New, extended deadline: July 31! Did Riot Grrrl (or any variety of DIY/punk feminism) change your life? Whatever gender you are, whether you’re in your 40s or in your teens, whatever punk rock feminism means to you—we want to hear from you. We (Cat Tyc and Sara Marcus) are making an interactive video installation at girlstothefront.com, in conjunction with Sara Marcus’s book [...]  The Need's Rachel Carns with bandmate Radio Sloan in the background in an old school Oly alleyway It has already been a summer of reunions, but Kaia Wilson doesn’t have the market cornered on dyke rock revival. Avant garde/metal/punk/hardrock scrappers The Need and fellow OlyWa queercore riot grrls Bangs are back in the saddle for a special 3 day benefit in the Seattle, Olympia and Portland this Wednesday, Thursday and [...]  California gays so hot they'll melt your popsicle In honor of San Francisco Pride, summer, and the 4th of July, I simply must share the latest, gayest internet meme (even if we did only here it about 1o times on our Cali road trip…I really expected about 100 but I could have been too drunk to remember). Oh yeah, and they kick some gay NYC ass… 5 people like this post.

 Team Dresch rocking out in Santos, Brazil Team Dresch has been the seminal dyke punk band since Donna Dresch, Kaia Wilson, Jody Bleyle and Marci Martinez first started rocking out in the Pacific Northwest’s thriving 90s rock scene. They’ve been through breakups, hiatuses, drummers, moves, solo projects, parenthood and more. And much has changed in both the music scenes and queer communities since then. What hasn’t changed is their ability [...] 
Portand’s QDoc is the only queer documentary film festival in the US (and one of two in the world) held annually at the intimate Clinton Street Theater (2522 SE Clinton). That’s pretty special. But not surprising for our hometown. It’s also a great kick-off to Pride season to reflect on our LGBT roots before we start the party. Several qPDXers got the chance to screen some of these films and will [...]  Meghan Mayhem at last month's Cuda Cabaret Besides the all weekend long Circus Artemis, which you absolutely should not miss, there’s plenty of other queer happenings worth dancing it out to this weekend. These are what I’m considering… Tonight The Gong Show – Bad Scene Productions brings you a 70s game show redux for the 2nd time to benefit outside in. Judged by The Mercury’s Wm. Steven Humphrey & Marjorie Skinner and [...]  George Alan Rekers In last night’s Alpha Dog of the Week political satirist Stephen Colbert profiled Family Research Council co-founder George Alan Rekers co-founder. In case you missed it Rekers, vehemently anti-gay leader of a group that tries to “cure” homosexuality, was caught in an airport after paying for a 10-day trip to Europe with a rentboy who was referred to as a “travel assistant.” The Colbert Report  Military men do Gaga Never have I been prouder of our Armed forces. In between trying survive dangerous missions in Afghanistan they still manage to have some fun by filming Lady Gaga videos with some fabulous camo and costumes and fantastic footwork. YouTube user malimelcher, who posted the video, writes: 2 people like this post.
 Does Senator Lindsey Graham need to come out of the closet? We just watched Outrage the other day, a documentary about outing gay politicians with anti-gay voting records. And on Jon Stewart he addresses a couple gay issues from the right and the left in his usual hilarious way. I think my favorite part is riding the immigration rainbow from Gaysylvania to the promised land of South Carolina. Like
Even those of you who may not be regular Glee watchers must want to see Jane Lynch aka the evil coach of the cheerleading Cheerios Sue Sylvester and lesbian extraordinaire strike a pose. Miss Madge herself will be on next week. Like
 The cast of 'The Real L Word' In this week that ends both the resurrection as well the the famed Dinah Shore weekend gays and lesbians are tired and news is thin. Even I stayed in on Saturday night, much to my housemate’s amazement. So instead of a weekend recap let’s greet Monday with two videos that have been making their way around the web. Firstly, let’s take a look at [...] |
