ymail Club K.Y. 2nd & 4th sunday of every month
Amnesia Bar This is the second issue of the Y-Files, Club K.Y.’s zine that features (our own brand of) news, band interviews, political commentary, music charts, reviews, art, and opinion pieces from Club K.Y. regulars and other queer/indie/punk characters. This issue features an interview with L.A.'s queer punk band Best Revenge, poems by Proplan, records reviews by Roger Pinnell, a commentary by Ryan Murphy, Gay Shame - a radical alternative by Matilda (Matt Bernstein Sycamore) reprinted from Slingshot and more... This month Club K.Y., the alternative queer noise club presents a special night of indie-rock, noise-pop and punk on Sunday, June 30th at Jezebel's Joint, 510 Larkin @ Turk (the night of the *pride* parade). DJs Spike, Jacob and guests bring the latest underground sounds to the Tenderloin - the perfect spot to let loose after pride weekend. A queer alternative to mainstream consumerist pride rubbish... K.Y. is a queer/indie/punk club in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. Spike, Jacob & friends spin the newest, loudest, and nastiest US/UK indie, noise-pop, punk & rock sounds around on vinyl, cd and mp3. The club is small, very friendly and well mixed, with the majority of the crowd being LGBTQQ. KY was started in April 2001 by friends Spike & Mike, two San Francisco-based queers who were fed up with the lack of clubs that catered to queer punks, rock & indie fags/dykes and gender-benders, and with the apathetic tone of the San Francisco *queer* scene. Spike had the idea after living in London and hanging out at Club V (originally "Vaseline"). KY is run as a non-profit operation and supports universal health care, the protection of our civil liberties, a living wage for all, immigrant rights, social justice, freedom of choice and fostering unity. We oppose military intervention, the war, prejudice, racism, homophobia, classism, sexism, ageism, gentrification and police brutality.
Cheers, Spike |
