This Saturday, Nov. 29, one of Hearsay's favorite gay blogs is throwing its third Homo/Sonic dance party. The New Gay's bimonthly party proved so successful — and crowded — over the summer, The Black Cat has moved it from the quaint, confined downstairs Backstage to the massive, wide-open upstairs Mainstage, which holds several times as many people. The cute "upbeat trip-hop" band Little Dragon is scheduled to perform.
You're guaranteed a festive, across-the-board diverse crowd, and a whole lotta singing-along pop fun. The various New Gay bloggers really mix it up as the night's DJs, alternating from New Order to Franz Ferdinand, from Bjork to Lykke Li, from Erasure to Missy Elliott. Even Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson have been known to make an appearance on the sound system. The party gets started at 10 p.m. Cover is $10.
