K.Y. is a queer/indie/punk club in the Mission District of San Francisco, CA. Spike, Jon Ginoli (Pansy Division's frontman) & various guest djs/friends spin the newest, loudest, and nastiest punk-lectic mix of indie, old-school punk, garage, hardcore, anarcho, blues, no wave, thrash, and trash sounds around on vinyl, cd and mp3. The club is small, friendly and well mixed, with the majority of the crowd being LGBTQQ. KY began in San Francisco in April 2001 by Spike & Mike, two friends 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 local *queer* scene. Spike got the idea after living in London and hanging out at Club V (originally "Vaseline"). KY is run as a not-for-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, war, prejudice, racism, homophobia, classism, sexism, ageism, gentrification and police brutality. Spike & Jef Leöpard also do The Menacing Noise Calendar, a damaged & bent listing of queer and queer friendly rock’n’roll and punk events in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Cheers, Spike |
