Too too much going on this Saturday March 8, kids, and these are just the above-ground parties! I don’t know how I’m gonna make ‘em all, but we just finished work on the next issue of Scene, our nightlife mag which drops next wednesday in the guardian (look for it!) and I'm ready to party my pumps off. Good thing I always carry an extra pair of bedazzled flats in my Safeway paper bag purse …
Leslie and the Lys, spaz-hop queens straight outta Iowa (via Boston) who recorded the immortal line “Wearing gold spandex pants/ I made a hip-hop album” will be rocking their goddam GEM SWEATERS at an early set (9pm) at the lezbo-rock heavenly Cockblock at Rickshaw Stop for only 10 stinkin’ bucks, which lets you stay the whole evening to hear the adorable DJ Nuxx and friends throw down.
Then it’s off to Kafana Balkan at 12 Galaxies (more info here), the city’s premier Romany dance party, with awesome, way-deeper-than-Balkan-Beatbox DJ Zejlko and friends. If it’s anything like the last one (with crazy pics we featured in the last Scene nightlife magazine) then we may not be able to tear ourselves away ….
Brass Menazerie at Kafana Balkan
to hit up one of the best-sounding parties at Mezzanine in, like, a week – Zizek featuring DJ/Rupture and Tormenta Tropical.
Zizek is an electro-cumbia dancehall ragga weekly in Buenos Aires, and its travelling around the country right now rocking joints coast to coast. DJ/Rupture is a speed grime/breaks kid from NYC who seriously tears it up, as intel as Shadow and Spooky, but faster and more soulful in my book. (More info here)

DJ Rupture vs. Andy Moor (live in "la Cave 12")
And if I have any time (or MUNI money) I’ll be at Harvey’s around Midnight in between any of the above events to catch some throwback classic-retro diva drag, as Cookie Dough presents Classic Divas II at her Monster Show …. wot wot! Shouts out to Monistat and all the other fab queens who will be lipsyncing to the justified ancients!
