ElektroPop! Is Back…It’s Now Monthly, At Fred Wildlife AND With Morgan McMichaels

May 31, 2013• bySeattle Gay Scene

Sinfinite’s beloved ELEKTROPOP is returning! On Saturdays! At Fred Wildlife! With Morgan McMichaels! And, MONTHLY!

It sprang forth from the loins of Arden Turnbull and Jimmy Scarpello, aka Sinfinite Productions, in the fall of 2011…ElektroPop! Despite a slow start, ElektroPop soon established itself as a hot, weekly drag/dance party despite the fact it happened on Thursdays and at a club not known for being very gay, The Baltic Room. The combination of Sinfinite’s persistent marketing, cute themes, non-stop mentions on SGS, and a naughty & fun atmosphere provided by then host Mama Tits, DJ Skiddle and lots of special guests, made the ‘Pop a must do destination every Thursday night.

ElektroPop! rocked the lower reaches of Pine Street for over a year, but all weekly events eventually get a bit stale and the Pop lost a bit of its bloom. Mr. Turnbull & Mr. Scarpello decided the event needed to move to the next level and retooled their Thursdays at The Baltic Room as “Down n’ Dirty” with hostess Robbie Turner…but, they still loved the concept of ElektroPop and schemed to re-establish the party as a bigger monthly event at a new venue. And, after months of negotiation, they’re ready to announce that the Pop has been rebranded as ELEKTROPOP – SUGAR RUSH and will return on Saturday, June 22, 2013 at Fred Wildlife Refuge with very special hostess, RPDR Season 2 star Morgan McMichaels jetting in every month for the dance party.
