COMEBACK!, the hottest gay party in Seattle, makes its monthly return on Friday May 30th 2008 at Chop Suey, 1325 E Madison from 9 pm – 2 am ($5 before midnight).
Resident DJ’s Colby B, Ponyboy, and Fucking in The Streets (FITS) will by joined by some of the hottest “shit” to come out of NYC:
Hosted by The Ass and on the decks, the Legendary MISS GUY! (Squeezebox!, NYC).
MISS GUY is a leading NYC DJ who has rocked DJ booths all over the world for the last decade. He has had residencies in some of Manhattan’s hottest parties, the most famous being the legendary Squeezebox!
“A pioneer in the DJ world being the first to merge rock & roll with great dance music” said Spin Magazine’s Marc Spitz of the self-proclaimed “scatterbrained DJ”.
Guy has DJ’ed everywhere from Tokyo to Milan and has shared the decks with the likes of Boy George, Kelly Osbourne, Benji and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte, Perry Farrell, Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s and Lady Miss Kier of Deee-Lite.
He also fronts the rock band Toilet Boys, whose first single ‘Another Day in the Life’ was featured in American Pie 2. His other group and solo recordings, such as the song he wrote with Boy George called ‘Stay Away from Pretty Boys’, have generated a lot of press as well.
Directors Zach Shaffer and Steve Saporito captured the raw, debauched energy of SqueezeBox! in a movie with the same name. Seven years after the seminal party closed its doors, SqueezeBox! became the ultimate tribute movie to what can never be recreated nor forgotten. Here is a description of that movie that will give you an idea about Squeezebox!:
Once upon a time (like the mid-’90s), a party promoter named Michael Schmidt had a novel idea: drag queens dumping the lipsynching routine to sing rock and roll live onstage. No one knew what to expect when they first opened the doors to Don Hill’s on the fateful night that SqueezeBox! was born in downtown Manhattan.
With Mistress Formika presiding as hostess and den mother, the drag queens rocked New York nightlife in a way no one had ever seen before. But what began as a place for queer misfits who’d rather hear a guitar riff than a disco beat turned into a pansexual free-for-all.
Though celebrities like John Waters, Drew Barrymore, and Johnny Knoxville were regular fixtures, the movie stars, drag queens, punks, and everyone in between partied elbow to elbow, waiting for a glimpse of what would happen on stage. And what a stage. Not only was it graced by legendary performers like Deborah Harry and Jayne County-it was also where the Toilet Boys were born and John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask started working on Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
But when big, bad Giuliani blew through New York nightlife to “clean it up,” the party ended-with chins up and middle fingers in the air-after seven rocking years.
Also a celebrity in his own right, The Ass, will be hosting COMEBACK! What started as a waiter wearing an apron with no pants and taking pictures with patrons has turned into a national phenomenon with his website TheAssShot.com
Finally, to round out the night at COMEBACK! are The Guerrilla Go-Go’s, Naked Pizza w/Andrew and Pete, and The Comeback Photobooth w/Dino.
And all this for 5 bucks (before midnight) on Friday May 30, 2008!
