The Kinda Late Show Episode 2 is on December 17th!

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

The first Kinda Late Show with Broke-Ass Stuart was a resounding success (watch it here)! The best compliment given to me that night was when someone said “It really felt like San Francisco in here tonight and it hasn’t felt that way in a long time.” Yeah, that’s the kind of shit we’re doing.   kinda-late-show-video As you can tell by the title of this post, The Kinda Late Show Episode 2 is on December 17th at the incredible Doc’s Lab! That means you should buy your tickets NOW. These bitches sold out really fast last time so get them while you can. I mean, just check out this amazing line-up:

Veronica Belmont (Nerd. Tekzilla, Sword & Laser, Vaginal Fantasy)

Josh Constine is a meme whisperer and cybersociologist who writes news for TechCrunch. A former contributor to local blog Uptown Almanac, Josh has since written over 2300 articles about tech and done on-stage interview with everyone from Mark Zuckerberg to Senator Cory Booker.

But he’s not your average tech bro. A 6-year Mission resident with family from SF, Josh spent an hour picking up trash on the streets the morning after the Giants riots. His blog posts champion neighborhood arts and anti-homelessness charities, and demand that tech companies contribute to the communities they’re screwing up.

Musical guest queer electro-hop duo Double Duchess 

double-duchess   With big beats and playful narratives, San Francisco’s Double Duchess transcends genres and genders through its live experience and high-energy delivery. Krylon Superstar’s mesmerizing voice and performance art genius, coupled with davO’s emceeing and production deftness, delivers a raw and campy electronic sound. Double Duchess’ musical influences include Baltimore club, booty breaks, and ballroom house, all wrapped in a world of couture fashion.

House band The MegaFlame Big Band and Cabaret

mega-flame-big-band-and-cabaret The MegaFlame Big Band and Cabaret plays a mish-mash of mid-century jazz, blues, and cool “re-conceived” versions of contemporary tunes. We include a lot of theatrical elements in our playa-inspired set which runs the gamut from Ella Fitzgerald to Morphine and from Tom Waits to Big Mama Thorton.

A MegaFlame event is always a BIG show with a constantly evolving family of performers. Not only killer tunes from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, but also vintage-style burlesque, fire arts, schtick, and plenty of costume changes! MegaFlame is a step back in time with a modern twist.
