GROWN & SEXY spring fling
7:00 pm
Hells kitchen, 80 South 9th St, Minneapolis, MN (MAP)
Dance away with glitter, glamour, and true gaiety. Let DJ
Shannon Blowtorch, Nadine DuBois & Sweetpea give you yet another night to
remember, with the queerest party in the Twin Cities: Grown & Sexy

Prepare for a marathon dance party with performances at the top
of every hour by the hottest burlesque and drag performers of the Twin
Cities.

After sold-out Pride, Halloween, & NYE events, “Grown & Sexy” has proved that the
unique combination of a killer dance party with spotlight performances
satisfies a desire for something refreshing and new.

About the Producers:
Shannon Blowtorch, sought-after sound engineer and premier DJ, is known for
her performances with the original All the Pretty Horses, as the event
director of the bygone queer bar Pi, traveling the world as the sound
engineer for the members of Le Tigre’s current project MEN, and for laying
down the best tracks for dance events across the Twin Cities.

Sweetpea, nationally-acclaimed striptease sensation, has been mesmerizing
audiences for nearly a decade. An originator or the Twin Cities’
neo-burlesque movement, she is a founder and director of Lili’s Burlesque
Revue, and is well-known for her appearances across the Twin Cities with
Lili’s and queer cabaret hits such as Dykes do Drag, The Dirty Queer Show,
and Dragmanity. Always body-positive, she is a personal trainer and
lifestyle educator, burlesque teacher, and producer of the new hit, “Naked
Girls Reading, Minneapolis.” She’s named in “The Top 100 Burlesque
Performers in the World” by 21st Century Burlesque Magazine.

Nadine Dubois, known for her quick wit and universal charm, is one of the
nation’s most sought-after burlesque emcees. Recently named one of the
“most successful entertainment personalities in the Twin Cities” (vita.mn
Magazine), she is a founder of the Twin Cities burlesque movement, and has
produced and performed in hundreds of shows in the Twin Cities. Her roots
are firmly Midwestern, but her travels (and talents) have taken her across
the country to Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, St. Louis, Seattle, San
Francisco, New York and Las Vegas.

Gastro Non Grata: Pre Earth Day Confection Carousel
8:30 pm
Triple Rock Social Club, 629 Cedar Avenue, Minneapolis, MN (MAP)
Greetings Gastronauts. It’s time once again to celebrate separating your trash, riding your bike and winter that feels like late fall. She must be warming up to us and it’s time to say thanks to Mother Earth. Our April 20 Pre Earth Day Confection Carousel comes with a WARNING…

This is a rare Friday night show and no restaurant in their right mind would give us their chef. So we’re setting savory to the side on this one and are bringing in 3 of the most talented pastry chefs in town. So Please, make sure you eat dinner before the show because you will be receiving 3 dessert courses.

Dustan Pinlac of Levain will be the first to establish the base of your sugar rush. Christian Aldrich of Haute Dish will bring the sucrose to the second course and put your taste hairs on edge. James Beard Nominee Michelle Gayer of Salty Tart Bakery will be the one to glaze you off this candy cliff into the abyss of ethereal dulcification.

Each course will be paired with a sample of the bubbly brown stuff from Lagunitas Brewery, there’s even word that we’re going to get one of the few elusive kegs of Waldo’s Ale, an ultra rare Imperial/Double IPA that has only been available in California until now. Corey Shovein of Hohenstein Distributing will be on hand for quality control and Lagunitas craft beer dorkspeak.

The honeyed vocal styling of the Cactus Blossoms will start the night off right on the waltz tip. Heavy Deeds will be bringing their laid back grooves and harmony ambrosia on a journey between your ears to help your second course settle and Michael Gaughan will be performing as Little Dog on Top of a Big Dog to bring your saccharin soaked journey to a close with a dose of perma grin.

As always, Clancey’s Meat and Fish in Linden Hills will be providing carcass for our Dead Meat Door Prize.

Local Author Matte Resist will be on hand to answer any gardening or bike repair questions. He will also be selling and signing copies of his book How and Why : A Do It Yourself Guide.

Tickets are $8 in advance here or you can buy them at the door for $12

Gastro Non Grata is a labor of love brought to you by Craig Drehmel and Jeff Mitchell.
Price Info: $8 advance, $12 at the door

Our very first Vegetarian show featuring spitting distance neighbors On’s Thai Kitchen where minnesota spice is clearly and thankfully disregarded.

We’re also happy to welcome Harriet Brewing into the fold. Our East Lake neighbors will be on hand to provide samples of their locally crafted microbrews and might even have a few high fives for you if you ask nice enough.

The evenings musical energy will be provided handily by The Pinsch, our good pastry pal Sheela’s new project, followed by the hard hitting sounds of Cadette and the night will be closed out with the rock kicks and riffs of Pink Mink on headlining duties.

DJ Shannon Blowtorch will be on the 1s and 2s between bands playing music that is guaranteed to make your booty move all over the room.

Pretty awesome right? Well, if that’s not enough with your paid admission you will also get to partake in the Wet Dragons salsa/guac off downstairs in the clown lounge. If you think your salsa or guacamole has what it takes to take the prize, you can enter here. Prizes will include St Paul Bagelry gift certificates, $50 bar tabs at the Turf Club, Growlers of Harriet Brewings finest and more, more, more probably non-meat related prizes.

In honor of the Herbivore, we’re gonna give our sponsor Clancey’s Meat & Fish a little breather from the Dead Meat Door Prize and create a show specific door prize in lieu of delicious animal parts. Man, that’s a lot of stuff happening for a measly $10 in advance.

Gastro Non Grata is a labor of love brought to you by Craig Drehmel and Jeff Mitchell

For over a decade, Hell’s Kitchen has been a fierce supporter of our beloved GLBT community. When a customer threatened to boycott us because of our stand, we refused to be bullied and voiced our continued support even more loudly.

Midnight to 2am:
DJ SHANNON BLOWTORCH kicks things into high gear (18+)

NO cover charge. Donate whatever you can to help Minnesotans United for All Families. And while we realize not everyone agrees with us, this isn’t about politics, it’s about “permanantly limiting the freedoms of some families to share in marriage simply because of who they are.” (Pastor Grant Stevensen)

Special Guest Minnesota Viking CHRIS KLUWE on stage with Tripping Icarus If you haven’t been crushing for this wildly vocal supporter of the freedom to marry, google “Chris Kluwe Gay Marriage” and then voice your thanks to this fierce bassist with balls of steel when he gets on stage with his alt rock band.

Never in our history has our bakery been more proud of a price increase.HUH? From today through Election Day, Angel Food Bakery’s PRIDE CUPCAKES will be $4 instead of the usual $3. Every single penny of that increase will be donated to support the Vote NO effort. Buy lots! Order ahead if you’re buying lots! Host an office Vote NO cupcake party!

Once you’ve pushed away from the table, your gullet full of green bean casserole, antacid and your ears ringing from your crazy uncle, Gastro Non Grata brings you back to a different kind of Gluttony. Announcing our Post-Thanksgiving Belt Punch Extravaganza.

Steven Brown of Tilia in Linden Hills and Peter Campbell the man behind Red Wagon Pizza Company will be rolling in to coax your taste buds back to life after the influx of tryptophan subsides.

Lanny Hoff from Artisanal Imports will be choosing 3 of his favorite brews to create mouthgasms of awesome while expounding the virtues of some of the top brewers across the pond.

As for your musical entertainment, Drew Peterson and The Dead Pigeons will kick the night off with songs of regret and unrequited love that will make the beer flow a little easier. Then Crankshaft is gonna kick you in the booty with a little bit of BOOGIE and get the whole crowd rocking. To finish the night off L’Assassins are gonna prowl the stage and punch you in the face with a monkey wrench of garage rock.

DJ Shannon Blowtorch will be on the 1s and 2s all night spinning songs that aid digestion with a mixture of sweet jams and hot hits.

As always, make sure you hang on to your ticket when you walk in because Clancey’s Meat & Fish will be sponsoring the always interesting Dead Meat Door Prize offering pleasures of flesh to all who enter.

Purchase advance tickets from ticketfly because this is something you shouldn’t be able to pass up.

Here's a little background on how we got here: BOMP was started in January 2009 at the Bedlam Theatre on Minneapolis' West Bank. At the time, there were many emerging events and DJs thriving in the Twin Cities, but BOMP stood apart. By bringing together the TC area's finest party rocking disco jocks and setting up shop at a venue with a DIY aesthetic and gutter punk vibe were exactly the formula for a party you wouldn't find anywhere else in the city. Drawing capacity crowds every month and steadily growing until the party was pouring out the doors, BOMP was an instant hit. Unfortunately, the Bedlam was forced to close unexpectedly and after one last party in Aug 2010, Bomp was left out on the street. We packed up our speakers, turntables and laptops and went mobile, turning up everywhere from shady warehouse spaces, to our temporary home at (now closed)Nick & Eddie and even TC mainstay venues like First Ave. and The Cedar.

Which bring us to our new digs: Ground Zero. Known for its crazy sound system, huge dance floor, disco lights and multiple bars, as well as multiple levels, this amazing club is tucked away behind the facade of several Northeast bars. Simply put: the BOMP crew is feeling right at home. Just like when we started at Bedlam, Bomp is the first dance party of its kind happening there, so come help us break in the new spot especially since the world is ending, you gotta peep it at least once right? Come get familiar and let's go out in style....

XOXOXOXOXO,

-The BOMP crew

Gastro non Grata

Triple Rock Social Club, 629 Cedar Avenue, Minneapolis, MN (MAP)
Gastro Non Grata : Marrow Inamorata
Feb 10 Triple Rock Social Club $10 adv/$12 door
Doors at 6, show at 7

We’ve got a message to all you Valentinians out there? Now, Gastro’s not here to judge, we’re not here to tell you what love is or that you should read us poetry or present us with an organ shaped box of candy.

Gastro Non Grata would rather give you a chance to procure an actual beefheart from Clancey’s and make sarcasm sexy again than act like a bacon fat cupid on a paper heart holiday. When you love something, you can feel it in your bones. And if you suck the marrow from the bone, that means you really like it.

Heretofore, we welcome you back into the fold at the Triple Rock Social Club on this 10th of February to partake in Gastro Non Grata : Marrow Inamorata.

On the food front, Chefs Nick and Tyler from Borough Restaurant on Washington Ave will be supplying you with small portions of big flavor. Proving why they’re one of the most written about new restaurants in the city. Mixmaster Jesse Held may also have an alcoholic surprise for those of you that show up in the beginning stages of the show.

Corey Shovein from Founders Brewery will be on hand pouring alcoholic specimens of brewing technology. If you haven’t been drinking Founders, get ready. They’re always doing something interesting whether it be seasonal, year round or just plain weird.

As for the music, we kick things off with St Paul’s serenading stalwart sweetheart Martin Devaney, he’s gonna kick things off by singing so pretty you’ll find yourself gazing off into the distance wondering why you’re so lucky. Then soul/funk outfit Southside Desire will bring the grooves that make the booty quiver and sway and make the big hole on the front of your head get toothy. Finally, Bitch City will take the stage and remind you that a punch in the face doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

As always, DJ Shannon Blowtorch will be on hand to setting up a sonic fence that allows no weak jams to impede upon good times.

The ever popular Dead Meat Door Prize is sponsored by the amazing flesh cutters at Clancey’s Meat & Fish

Newly Sponsored by Vita.Mn and 89.3 The Current, give them a what’s up for us.

Gastro Non Grata is a labor of love brought to you by Craig Drehmel & Jeff Mitchell gastronongrata.blogspot.com
