ANARCHO QUEER NIGHT OF DISCO AND ART POP!
A night of weirdo art pop, anarchism and hip hop featuring queer trans performers. The Positive Experience, Pink Pound and Floralis & Aoife Baxendale invite you to drink, dance and cry to fundraise for Glasgow Food Not Bombs; an anarchist mutual aid group that focus on feeding people with no questions asked, and even financially supporting local people!
Pink Pound - 19:45-20:15:
Pink Pound (Andrew Milk - Shopping, Current Affairs) is known for playing in post-punk bands as well as performing in drag at queer clubs and festivals across the UK. Milk has long worked as a sound performance and visual artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. Milk creates a kaleidoscope landscape of fist pumping Hi-NRG gay disco and introspective bedroom pop that explores identity, power dynamics and joyful connection found within queer spaces both physical and intangible. The music was best described as “The Yassification of New Order”
Floralis 20:30-21:00:
Floralis is a queer-anarchist art pop artist that fuses Kate Bush inspired art pop with elements of gothic rock and hip hop to deliver her anti-capitalist message. Her debut album deals with being a trans POC in a colonial world.
The Positive Experience - 21:15-21:45:
The Positive Experience are an experimental indie band fronted by genderpunk poet and MC Lady Incarnate (Bam Jam). They are a band that hold groove and message in equally high regard and have become a strong figure of Edinburgh’s underground. The band members hail from all over the globe and they approach songwriting with a method of improvisation and collaboration. These pan-global influences shine through in their raucous live sets, ranging from cutting and insightful spoken word to dream-rock, funk, soul and live hip hop.
