Desperate Living is San Francisco’s new and much-needed rock and roll monthly night for queers, faeries, dykes, fags and our chosen family. Held at the historic Stud in San Francisco, the night will feature live punk, indie, dance and garage rock bands, gogo boys and girls, burlesque, drag, art, and more. This night of twisted mayhem is brought to you by Seth Shubin (AKA Veruca Bathsalts), Austin McLynch and Teeny Turner (formerly DJ Go-Karff of the long-running NYC queercore party, Queers, Beers and Rears)
Aye Nako are a DIY punk band from Brooklyn, NY. The band originated in 2010 and promotes "sad punk songs about being queer, trans and black" After just getting back from SxSxW, Aye Nako hit the road on their North American Tour and are gracing DESPERATE LIVING while coming through the Bay,
DESPERATE LIVING is a safe space for all queers that means we will not tollerate any racism, ableism, fatphobia, transphobia, misogyny, femmephobia, xenophobia, etc. etc. Now that we've made that clear, LETS FUCK SHIT UP.
