Known for wildly entertaining performances that blend humor and overwhelming creativity, the chorale has also been known to move people deeply with the beauty of their music. This Thursday, they’ll be joined by [...]

Throat Music
Pitchy doesn’t begin to describe our singing voice. We’re so tone deaf that even sign language as obvious as the elaborate gestures in YMCA makes no sense to us. That’s why we’ve always been impressed when we hear someone with genuine vocal talent. And we’re lucky enough to have a big gay singing competition that [...]
These Boots Were Made For Gettin’ Kinky
If you haven’t seen the film, Kinky Boots, hit up Netflix. Or travel back in your time machine and grab a VHS copy at your neighborhood Blockbuster. It’s one of our favorite movies ever and we can’t wait to see the Broadway musical version. But it’s going to be a while before we make it [...]
3-Way Weekend
Who’s ready for $3 three-ways in celebration of the three-day weekend? We know we are, and that’s why we’re headed to BJ’s NXS tonight to start things off with a bang (sadly, just a metaphorical one). Tonight, happy hour from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. features three ways to get drinks for $3. Well drinks, domestic [...]
Little Orff Uncanny
Few works of musical artistry propel us to such heights of emotional enlightenment as Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. (Except maybe Mackelmore’s Thrift Shop. We love 99¢ bargains!) But back to Carmina Burana, the epic 1930s classical orchestration of a collection of poems and dramatic texts from the 11th to 13th centuries. There’s something about every [...]
Pianist Lovers
Even in death, few things on earth are gayer than Liberace. Ghost hunters at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills have consistently recorded otherworldly shouts of “Boo!” With a lisp. Which is hard to accomplish. So in anticipation of Behind the Candelabra, the HBO original movie on the performer’s life and relationship with [...]
Haunting Sounds
Today, electronica makes a comeback. The delightfully retro but unabashedly contemporary new album, Pale Green Ghosts, is one of those great records that feels immediately familiar. Like a long-lost love sticking his tongue in our ear. It’s the second album for recording artist John Grant, but the first since the openly gay singer learned via [...]
Weekend On A Stick
We’ve tasted Addison before. But only after a drunken stumble left us licking the concrete outside Hooter’s. And even though we thought it tasted like ranch dressing at the time, we’re pretty sure that was a light beer-induced hallucination. Or a post-hot-wing hiccup. So we’re thrilled to be headed back to Taste Addison in a [...]
Quirkin’ 9 To 5
Gotta love Zooey Deschanel. First, it is possible to not smile when saying her name? Zoeey. Zooey. Zooey. Secondly, she’s mastered the art of quirkiness to the extreme, from her role on New Girl (and every movie she’s ever appeared in) to her wacky is-it-raining-Siri commercials for Apple. And now, she’s back with her musical [...]
Rock Star Reality
It’s always encouraging to see reality competition contestants do something positive with their burst of instant fame. So expect to see great things very soon from Andy Dick! In the meantime, meet Vicci Martinez. You may already know her as a finalist on The Voice, where she wowed her coach Cee-Lo Green. If not, she’s [...]
