SUMMARY:Quintron & Miss Pussycat 30th Anniversary Show
DESCRIPTION:21+ | HOTEL PATIO \nDoors at 7pm7:30pm – Floating Cube8:15pm – TV’s Daniel9pm – Quintron & Miss Pussycat \n+ Puppet Show inside Hotel Vegas! \nQuintron and Miss Pussycat have been making genre-defying noise and hard rocking dance music in New Orleans for over thirty years. Their 19 full-length albums capture the psychedelic soul of traditional New Orleans party music\, filtered through a Hammond organ\, technicolor puppets\, and a battalion of distorted\, homemade instruments. After the release of “Goblin Alert” (Goner 2020)\, the duo expanded to sometimes include other New Orleans musicians for live shows. \nQuintron and Miss Pussycat’s sweaty musical blasts are paralleled in spirit and performance by Miss Pussycat’s dreamy puppet worlds — elaborate\, and beautifully crafted for success in intimate venues of late-night drinking and dancing. She has also had several major solo museum exhibitions of ceramics\, paintings and other visual work related to her puppetry. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1007165488308199/

Delany describes the cross-class sexual and social contact that made Times Square central to his and other gay men’s lives. The civic and commercial redevelopment projects targeting the neighborhood meant\, he argues\, “major demolition\, destruction\, and devastation in what had established itself not only in the American psyche\, but in the international imagination\, as one of the world’s most famous urban areas.” – Screen Slate \n__Psycho Beach Party__Originally a 1987 stage play by Charles Busch\, a drag performer and PBP screenwriter\, Psycho Beach Party is the quintessentially queer horror comedy satire and parody of the early-2000s\, and we don’t talk about it enough. This could be due to the popularity of another horror comedy parody of the same year: Scary Movie (2000). However\, while Scary Movie has queer characters\, they are marred by extremely pervasive stereotypes that have persisted in film\, especially horror\, for decades. Psycho Beach Party\, on the other hand\, has more to offer horror queers than Scary Movie. It was created by a queer individual and satirizes 1950s/1960s conservatism and family values. This campy summer flick that draws from films like Psycho (1960) and Surf Party (1964) deserves more recognition for its creativity and proud queerness. – Horror Press \n__Slumber Party Massacre__Amy Holden Jones’ Slumber Party Massacre (1982) is like a queer-coded haunted house\, with jumpscares and gags around every corner.  \nIn many ways\, this fast-paced 80s slasher doesn’t seem to deviate from the tropes and stereotypes prevalent in the genre at the time. Trish (Michele Michaels) and her group of friends throw a slumber party while her parents are out of town\, but of course\, a murderer is on the loose. Girls stay home alone for the first time\, break their parent’s rules\, and get punished for their moral delinquencies by a blindly murderous man with a drill. However\, once you consider that it was directed\, produced and written by women (the screenwriter is queer feminist author Rita Mae Brown)\, you start to see the movie through a queer lens. Also\, once you learn that it was originally written to be a parody but later changed to be a straight-up slasher\, you can see the elements of comedy and self-awareness. The inclusion of subtle queer subtext subverts these overplayed tropes and adds a layer of camp over the film. Plus\, it’s always fun to play ‘find the queer subtext’\, sometimes even inserting a bit of your own.  -Queer Fear Film Festival \n__Elvira Mistress of the Dark__Elvira: Mistress of the Dark\, is an utter delight\, the perfect Halloween film. The premise concerns a local-TV horror host who longs to parlay her talents into a Vegas showgirl career (which is Peterson’s career trajectory\, only in reverse). In an effort to scrape together the money for her show\, she lands in the tiny conservative town of Falwell\, Massachusetts\, where her mysterious recently departed aunt may have left behind the resources Elvira needs. The story vibrates with queerness — not explicitly\, but so plainly in the subtext I don’t know how heterosexuals can even make sense of what they’re seeing. There’s name of the town\, of course (a reference to the anti-gay preacher Jerry Falwell)\, and then there are the villains of the piece\, a self-appointed club of moral crusaders who consider Elvira to be a poor influence on the local kids due to her sexuality\, and they want to expel her by any means necessary. What queer person can’t identify with that? – The Stranger \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/891111523979979/

SUMMARY:Nekromantix and Voodoo Glow Skulls at The Far Out Lounge
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 10The Far Out LoungeDoors at 6pm  \nNever self-serious while far from a joke at the same time\, Nekromantix is a musical unearthing of the biggest themes from the greatest works of monster\, zombie\, vampire\, werewolf and b-horror fiction; ripped from literature\, comic book pages or classic celluloid. Nekromantix chases a darkly romantic muse with an even darker humor. \nThe Nekromantix catalog boasts enduring genre classics like the unapologetically hooky yet undeniably fierce “Who Killed the Cheerleader?” and “Gargoyles Over Copenhagen” alongside subversively sentimental cuts like “Haunted Cathouse” and “Subcultural Girl.” There are echoes of rock n’ roll’s greats and punk rock icons alike\, all with modern flair. \nArmed with his signature coffin bass\, chilling baritone\, monstrous expressions and ten-stories-tall haircut\, Kim Nekroman has earned tremendous respect\, admiration and goodwill from a fiercely dedicated legion of hard-partiers\, rabble-rousers\, well-meaning degenerates\, grease monkeys\, outlaw bikers\, nostalgic tastemakers and forward-thinking punks. It’s a crew of supporters as diverse as the otherwise classic and timeless music the Danish-born California transplant has unleashed as leader of Nekromantix. \nVoodoo Glow Skulls were formed in 1988 by Eddie Casillas\, Jorge Casillas\, Jerry O’neill and Frank Casillas. After a few years of backyard party shows\, cassette demos\, 7” singles and first club gigs\, they released their debut album “Who is\, this is?” for Dr. Strange records in 1993\, gaining the attention of Brett Gurewitz\, owner of Epitaph records. The band then signed to Epitaph records and released four albums\, starting in 1995 with “Firme”\, their most successful album to date\, then followed by “Baile de los Locos”\, “Band Geek Mafia” and “Symbolic”. \n* * * \nPLEASE NOTE: Parking is limited\, and rideshares are encouraged!  \nThe Far Out Lounge is located at 8504 South Congress. \nhttp://www.thefaroutaustin.com/ \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1115857307391203/

DESCRIPTION:The Bloody Rose Boutique Pride Movie & Music Series returns!

Delany describes the cross-class sexual and social contact that made Times Square central to his and other gay men’s lives. The civic and commercial redevelopment projects targeting the neighborhood meant\, he argues\, “major demolition\, destruction\, and devastation in what had established itself not only in the American psyche\, but in the international imagination\, as one of the world’s most famous urban areas.” – Screen Slate \n__Psycho Beach Party__Originally a 1987 stage play by Charles Busch\, a drag performer and PBP screenwriter\, Psycho Beach Party is the quintessentially queer horror comedy satire and parody of the early-2000s\, and we don’t talk about it enough. This could be due to the popularity of another horror comedy parody of the same year: Scary Movie (2000). However\, while Scary Movie has queer characters\, they are marred by extremely pervasive stereotypes that have persisted in film\, especially horror\, for decades. Psycho Beach Party\, on the other hand\, has more to offer horror queers than Scary Movie. It was created by a queer individual and satirizes 1950s/1960s conservatism and family values. This campy summer flick that draws from films like Psycho (1960) and Surf Party (1964) deserves more recognition for its creativity and proud queerness. – Horror Press \n__Slumber Party Massacre__Amy Holden Jones’ Slumber Party Massacre (1982) is like a queer-coded haunted house\, with jumpscares and gags around every corner.  \nIn many ways\, this fast-paced 80s slasher doesn’t seem to deviate from the tropes and stereotypes prevalent in the genre at the time. Trish (Michele Michaels) and her group of friends throw a slumber party while her parents are out of town\, but of course\, a murderer is on the loose. Girls stay home alone for the first time\, break their parent’s rules\, and get punished for their moral delinquencies by a blindly murderous man with a drill. However\, once you consider that it was directed\, produced and written by women (the screenwriter is queer feminist author Rita Mae Brown)\, you start to see the movie through a queer lens. Also\, once you learn that it was originally written to be a parody but later changed to be a straight-up slasher\, you can see the elements of comedy and self-awareness. The inclusion of subtle queer subtext subverts these overplayed tropes and adds a layer of camp over the film. Plus\, it’s always fun to play ‘find the queer subtext’\, sometimes even inserting a bit of your own.  -Queer Fear Film Festival \n__Elvira Mistress of the Dark__Elvira: Mistress of the Dark\, is an utter delight\, the perfect Halloween film. The premise concerns a local-TV horror host who longs to parlay her talents into a Vegas showgirl career (which is Peterson’s career trajectory\, only in reverse). In an effort to scrape together the money for her show\, she lands in the tiny conservative town of Falwell\, Massachusetts\, where her mysterious recently departed aunt may have left behind the resources Elvira needs. The story vibrates with queerness — not explicitly\, but so plainly in the subtext I don’t know how heterosexuals can even make sense of what they’re seeing. There’s name of the town\, of course (a reference to the anti-gay preacher Jerry Falwell)\, and then there are the villains of the piece\, a self-appointed club of moral crusaders who consider Elvira to be a poor influence on the local kids due to her sexuality\, and they want to expel her by any means necessary. What queer person can’t identify with that? – The Stranger \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/937503032454292/

There’s name of the town\, of course (a reference to the anti-gay preacher Jerry Falwell)\, and then there are the villains of the piece\, a self-appointed club of moral crusaders who consider Elvira to be a poor influence on the local kids due to her sexuality\, and they want to expel her by any means necessary. What queer person can’t identify with that? – The Stranger \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1267389938901689/

SUMMARY:THE APPLICATORS In-Store Performance & Record Signing
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the album\, My Weapon\, The Applicators – one of Austin’s pioneering all-female punk band formed in 1999 – is planning a record release show first in Austin\, then a Texas-wide tour followed by a West Coast mini tour in 2026. An added monumental reason to commemorate this release is the finalization of the band’s long\, sustained efforts to obtain full ownership of the rights of their music. Originally partly produced and recorded by Cliff Jones in London\, UK\, then completed in 2006 back in Austin through Frenchie Smith. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/995275019556982/
