Hella Gay was already a pretty happening party when it moved to Oakland's Uptown Nightclub in August. Launched at the Ghost Town Gallery and transplanted briefly to the Continental Club, the monthly event generated a following primarily through word of mouth.

The first Hella Gay Live was held this psat Friday, March 5, at the New Parish (579 18th St., Oakland). It featured JD Samson, a multimedia artist and DJ from the electro-punk band Le Tigre. Supporting acts include J Boogie's Dubtronic Science and nerdcore rapper Juiceboxxx. Remember, you don't have to be gay to get down. Follow Hella Gay for their next event at http://www.hellagayoakland.com/
