"Queers Dance About It" for July’s installment of BENT
It’s that time again, queers, when the Foggy
Notion becomes the Faggy Nation and ho
mos get B E N T . The July installment o f ev
eryone’s favorite hot n’ sweaty, clown ‘n’ dirty
dance party ups the ante with special guests
and, er, special-er heats guaranteed to twist,
twirl and tweak the straight right outta ya.
Joining resident deejays Roy G Biv and
Jodi Bon Jodi are LA Kendall and Lifepart-
ner. The former’s been a fixture on the Seattle
nightlife scene for well over a decade, the
'founder o f our neighbor to the north’s hitgirl!
collective and a force behind popular area
parties like Hot Mess and Hard Times. She’s
also a vocalist, best known for her single “Kiss
My Ass” and for being one half (along
with Miss Adraboo) o f electro
pop rappers Luxury A.K.
All that’s to say nothing of
her business savvy. LA Ken
dall has brokered talent the
likes o f Boy George, Spin-
derella and Amanda LeP-
ore, and she’s keen on con
necting the queer Seattle and
Portland talent pools— this Se
attle Pride alone, she booked
Stumptown stars ChiChi and Chonga,
by am a n d a s c h u r r
Fannie Mae Darling and DJs T rans Fat and 111
Camino, while hosting what seemed
like every party to the north. It
goes without saying that LA
^ Kendall knows a good time
when she throws it, but
E s we’ll say it anyway.
PDX peeps are already
r familiar with DJ Lifepart-
ner (aka Kirk Sutherland),
whose sonic stew o f R&B,
dancehall,
New
Orleans
bounce, Cumbia, Jerk and Reg-
gaeton have made him a deck dynamo
among the club masses. But here’s the rub:
Lifepartner is set to leave the Rose City soon
for Los Angeles. He’s been signed to a major
label (Mad Decent)— one o f the first queer
deejays to do so. B E N T is among his last gigs
here, and your last chances to check out his
grimy glam stylings.
Toss in “candid photography” by Ginger
Girl and “door dandy” Mr. Charming, along
with tons o f pulsating pretty young queers,
and B E N T is a safe bet.
