We’re you gay and did you do crimes?

We’ve got the soundtrack for you to finish out the month the right way if you’ve got to cram all that crime in on the last day of Pride month.

We just got back from a show at the Eagle with the The Homobiles , Skip the Needle , Joh Chase and Castles In Spain in San Francisco, and y’all, what a great show. I discovered that I can still DJ a show with a broken soundboard (kind of). Plus, Carole Pope Carole Pope was in the audience, and none of us even fainted. WE WIN PRIDE 2026.

We’re gonna start the show off with Sylvia Rivera’s “Ya’ll Better Quiet Down” and then cheap perfume “Its Ok To Punch Nazis”.
