DJ Bios:

► DJ Xander has been a staple of SOMA’s club scene since 2007 when he began Dancing Ghosts, SF’s Darkwave Dance Party, at the Stud (now third Fridays at Cat Club). Guest spots have included SF Pride, Comfort and Joy, the Castro Theatre, Circa, Art for AIDS, DNA Lounge, numerous other Cat Club events, and more! Once upon a time he worked at local record stores, including the now closed Castro Streetlight Records, helping him build a collection he loves to share! He founded Boy Division in 2016 out of passion for a uniquely queer dance space featuring classic 70s and 80s Disco and New Wave to more contemporary Electropop!

► Steve Fabus is one of the few club DJs whose career spans almost the entire history of the profession and art form itself. He has played at legendary clubs of the classic eras of disco and house including the Trocadero Transfer, I-Beam and EndUp in San Francisco, Tracks and River Club in NYC, Does Your Mama Know and Probe in LA, up to the present time where in San Francisco he is co-founder and resident of Go BANG. He plays all over San Francisco at clubs and events in clubs like Public Works, Halcyon and the Stud where he never stops pushing the margins for new music as well as classic house and disco. He has done guest spots across the country in Chicago, NYC, LA, Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami, Fire Island, Palm Springs and other cities. In Europe he's played in London at Horse Meat Disco, in Berlin at Cocktail d'Amore and in Glasgow at Sub Club. Steve's hometown of Chicago along with New York has largely influenced him musically with the soulful roots of disco and house and he applies it to all the variations of the contemporary music he plays today.

►Jimmy DePre began his professional DJ career in his hometown of Philadelphia at the age of 15, landing a job with iconic radio personality and DJ, Jerry Blavat. Over the next 6 years, he worked some of the best bars, nightclubs, and casinos in the Philadelphia/New Jersey area and beyond. His eclectic taste and knowledge in all styles of house, disco, funk and soul, combined with his innate ability to read a crowd, has allowed him to work many different types of parties and spaces. Venues in places like NYC, Boston, DC, Fire Island, and many other East Coast destinations have welcomed him into their booth over the years. Throughout his career, Jimmy has shared the bill with many DJs and friends including Paul Goodyear, Razor N Guido, David Harness, Michael Fierman, Susan Morabito and Robbie Leslie, along with performers like Kevin Aviance, Sandy B, and Deborah Cox. Recently relocated to the Bay Area, he’s now a full time member of both Go BANG! and DAD BANG!, plays regularly at Lookout and has begun a party at Driftwood called Get Busy with a few friends. Along with DJing, Jimmy also creates his own edits, remixes and productions.

*POSTPONED* Club Show #4

Vivvyanne ForeverMORE! and the Stud present CLUB SHOW.

CLUB SHOW mixes sf's mixed up queens with dirty beats and queers who femme hard and soft butch. Turnt a look, or three. Always foggy, always lazerly, always yours.

EVERY 4th FRIDAY
399 9th Street –enter on Harrison Street
Showz at 11 and 12
$5 limited presales
$10 at the door

Theydies and Gentlethems welcome back to the stage your semi fave queen VivvyAnne ForeverMORE! Regularly seen on the Drag Alive stage (every friday at 7pm at the Stud) and born at the Stud with Club SOME THING. She's bringing her favorite performers together for a new party.
Each Month we feature: The Fierce, The Fresh, The Weird, The Wildcard and The Legend.

Welcome to the stage-

The Mouth
Kochina Rude has been known to push buttons, her own and other people's. She's a button pusher. A rioter. And a riot.

The Fresh
Astraight Woman, though her name barely touches the core essence of this crayon faced performer. Is she a flower? Is she from the gutter? Is she even lipsynching? What we do know is that she is fresh- no preservatives, you don't even have to wrap her in plastic.

The Fierce
Hollywood Texas slips, tricks and slides her way across the stage and into your heart. A lipsynch sorceress- all sounds emanate from her body, all percussion starts with her bones, all melodies sing sweetly from her lashes.

The Weird
Nicki Jizz is best known for her high kicks, her hair flips and her booty drops but tonight she is the weird- a secret comedy queen we know she's rather be Golem than Beyonce.

The Wildcard
Vanilla Meringue is light and frothy- a cupcake in a cupcake dress with the softest creamiest skin. But don't let her demure diabetes inducing décollage fool you- under all her fluff and frills she's one ookie cookie.

The Legend
D'arcy Drollinger, teacher of Sexitude, also known as Samantha and the proprietress at Oasis. She's young beyond her years- and legendary across the city.

Sponsored By Silencio- and featuring $7 Silencio Margaritas all night long.

The Clown:
Your emcee emcee Jillian Gnarling is a soft ghoul with a sharp tongue. The monster princess of our dreams Jillian swings from 1960's pinup to 1980's hair metal goddess to 1940's chanteuse all in 5 minutes. An acrobat of the heart.

The Sweets:
Roxy-Cotten Candy got the hair flips and fast hips. Tall as a drinka water, or more like soda pop. She's got all the kids jonesing for the sweet stuff. Be careful though she is the gateway drag.

The Disaster:
Loma Prieta is the biggest Disaster in San Francisco! She's a shake, she's a shimmy. She's a shuffle and she's a gas. She's got teased to death wigs and jokes that kill.

The Vintage:
Paige Turner can polish the keys and polish the boards. She's an elegant talent on and off the piano- poised and glamourful- serving you old hollywood and young San Francisco.

The Sugar Stick:
Churro has turned the local drag scene upside down with her highly choreographed performances, her quick wit and faster thighs. We are lucky to have her back from her new home of Rio








With your door host Hollywood Texas

Every Friday we DRAG ALIVE- a variety show for everyone. We welcome those visiting our gorgeous city, those who have never been to a Drag Show before and promise that this will entertain even the most experienced of drag fans.

Featuring:

The Clown:
A tornado in a dress, or evening jacket, VivvyAnne ForeverMORE! not only wrangles the queens each week bringing you the best of SF drag but is known nationally and internationally as a desert dry emcee. The New York Times once referred to her as as "..and one drag queen.

The Soft Ghoul:
Your emcee emcee Jillian Gnarling is a soft ghoul with a sharp tongue. The monster princess of our dreams Jillian swings from 1960's pinup to 1980's hair metal goddess to 1940's chanteuse all in 5 minutes. An acrobat of the heart.

The Riot:
Kochina Rude has been known to push buttons, her own and other people's. She's a button pusher. A rioter. And a riot.

The Triple:
God said "Let there be fierceness" and there was Militia Towers. When she was born she came out and landed on the floor in the splits, spinning a high pony tail around her head and singing a Nina Simone medley. She lipsynchs like she's here to win, and entertaints with ferocity. You will want to have your dollars, your debt cards, cashier cheques, and money orders ready because she's gonna make you make it rain.

The Weirdsy:
This little weirdo is so hard to describe! Is she a lobster or a drag queen? Is she a human puppet or a real puppet? Dreams and reality twist around this nugget as she sashays lipsynchs and weirds her way into your heart

Loma Prieta is the biggest Disaster in San Francisco! She's a shake, she's a shimmy. She's a shuffle and she's a gas. She's got teased to death wigs and jokes that kill.

The Vintage:
Paige Turner can polish the keys and polish the boards. She's an elegant talent on and off the piano- poised and glamourful- serving you old hollywood and young San Francisco.

The Shimmy:
Barbie Bloodgloss is a gives glamour and grotesque. Classic striptease and burlesque with something sly and slithery. She spreads rhinestones, ostrich feathers, and fake blood all over the Bay Area. She’ll steal your heart... And eat it too!

The Wildcard:
Florida Elizabeth Man made a name for herself as Lady Voldemort- hitting up stages far and wide, big and small. Now she shows up as a prized pig or fuzzy dice. We never know what form she will take- maybe a fart cloud, or a unicycle, or a slip and slide. No matter what it'll be painted to death and lipsynched to heaven.
