Our friends at Homo/Sonic, return this Friday (7/3) for their flagship alternative queer dance party at the Black Cat.
As always, Homo/Sonic is trans-inclusive and straight friendly. The play a fun mix of retro/80s, indie rock, and your requests. Leave requests in the comments, or email them to info@thenewgay.net.
A very gracious 'thank you' to everyone who made it out to SHIFT on Saturday! It was amazing. We celebrated the life of Michael Jackson through many tracks (thanks to the amazing sounds of DJ Lil'El!), the Independence Day of Djibouti, and Helen Keller's Birthday. It was really amazing. 500 people? Yes. Indeed. It was wonderful. You guys were amazing. Thank you so much for being there! Keep us in mind the 4th Saturdays of every month. The Best Music. A Place to Escape. Cheap Drinks. No labels. All-Inclusive. Dance Your Face Off. A Mutiny on the Monotony. It's really that simple. We love you.
THE NEXT SHIFT IS JULY 25! Get Excited!

After the shock of Michael Jackson's death yesterday, we must march on and celebrate his life. He may not have been perfect. He may have been batshit crazy. He may have consumed more vicodin than Liz Taylor's on a Tuesday...but, he changed music. He changed everything. He was a talent that may never be matched, and he will be remembered in the same breath as Elvis, The Beatles, and Madonna as one of the biggest music stars of our time. So, on Saturday @ SHIFT, come celebrate how MJ attempted to heal the world and make it a better place one small touch at a time. 
Some foreplay to your weekend of gratuitous ass shaking.
So, slap it like Helen Keller and set Djibouti free.
YES! We have a kickass local DJ, Lil'El, spinning for guest hour this Saturday at SHIFT! She is brilliant and can adapt to any type of crowd, music vibe, or hairstyle. She is the complete renaissance lady who spins at two hugely popular local nights: KIDS and Spinsters. She is a hoot and you will love her. You will. You will love her long time.
That's right bitches. We took some time to revamp the site, gather some good material for our live gigs, and bring you the best dancenight since you lost your virginity in the Buick Skylark outside of Prom.
