Kicking off PDX Pride weekend right with BANG! — a new queer-helmed techno night. Wear ya flat shoes, because we’re stomping this out all night long. Brought to you by PDX selectors Sappho and Bro Hoe, along with Philadelphia-based kraftwitch (CURFEW). Sappho is a DJ, musical artist, event producer and label co-owner of Koritsi Komma Records.

Bro Hoe is a Portland, OR based DJ and resident at Eagle Portland and Burning Man’s legendary Pink Ponies camp.

Every second Friday at Eagle Portland, Bro Hoe curates Classic CCK, a 70’s • 80’s • 90’s throwback night, spinning house, synth pop and disco. kraftwitch (PHL) is a multidisciplinary artist-writer-DJ and co-producer/resident of CURFEW - a queer-forward rave based in Philadelphia.
