Okay, scene queens– how many of you got wet this past month? We were all wishing for the rain, rain to go away, but it didn’t stop San Francisco from play, play and playin’. Time for the March redux– more pictures from San Francisco’s alternative and queer culture. And if you missed previous month’s editions, check em’ out here. There were also so many freakin’ club parties in March that I’m almost embarrassed that I only managed to get to three of them.

Hello, scene queens! Time for the February redux– another bunch of pictures from San Francisco’s alternative and queer culture.

TNG loves YBCA, so you know I’ll be there. Tell ‘em we sent ya when you sign up!

Are you a scene queen? TNG San Francisco Contributor, Bryan Garcia, shares pictures from San Francisco during the month of January.

t the end of January, Kevin Sniecinski, aka DJ Le Perv, debuts a new dance party called Dark Room. Located at The Hot Spot on 1414 Market Street, Le Perv describes it as a return to the music that inspired him while growing up– Punk, Gothic and Industrial.

After a hard year of partying in 2010, Hard French returns in 2011 with their first annual Hard French Winter Ball. Hard French promoter, Devon Devine describes the event:

One of the best things about living in a city like San Francisco is that no one here is afraid to let their freak flag fly. And people party like you wouldn’t believe. If you’re queer, there simply isn’t any better place to call home.

My favorite local indie rock blog, The Bay Bridged, has compiled 4 excellent “mixtape” downloads as part of their 2010 end-of-the-year round-up. For anyone new to San Francisco or just interested in San Francisco’s live music scene, these downloads make an excellent primer for learning which bands are making some noise in the Bay Area.

Fast-forward a year or so later, and Hunx—aka, Seth Bogart—needs no stinkin’ introduction. You could even say he’s San Francisco’s enfant terrible of the indie rock scene, putting the swish n’ swagger into his own brand of retro rock n’ roll. On December 10, Yerba Buena Center of the Arts is hosting its Un-Holiday Party: Noël Noir, and Hunx will be one of many acts taking the stage (along with Honey Soundsystem, yay!). And next year, Hunx will release his first full-length album. This un-holiday eve, Bogart took some time out to answer a few questions for The New Gay.

“Noël Noir will feature a site-specific fondant and light sculpture installation by Hilary Schwartz, Elinor Diamond, Andrew Kjera and Dori Latman, Luminous Darkness films curated by Daniel McKernan, an interactive group photo station, wine tasting by Stag’s Leap, and free sweet treats from TCHO chocolates. YBCA’s visual arts exhibitions will be open to guests until 2 AM. Beer will be provided by New Belgium Brewing Co. and spirits will be provided by Diageo.”
