Looking for something to celebrate besides you-know-what? Presentiiiiiing the Homobiles’ Birthday Bash! Featuring a whole lotta folks whose end-of-December birthdays are always a surprise.
It’s the Homobiles’ lead singer Lynnee Breedlove’s ACTUAL birthday, the night before Pleeay’s drummer’s birthday, and one week before two more Homobiles’ shared birthday.
Dressing up is encouraged but not required. (You define what “dressing up” means to you.) Come party with the Homobiles, Middle-Aged Queers, and Pleeay. Ballet punks, bubble machines, brand spankin’ new songs… it’ll be a night to remember.

Dubbed “the Bay’s mainstay queer party punk supergroup” by the East Bay Express, the Homobiles are Lynn Breedlove (of the groundbreaking punk band Tribe 8) on lead vocals, Fureigh (Middle-Aged Queers, ex-The Shondes) on guitar and vocals, powerhouse Blair Switch on bass, and KB Boyce (ex-NastyFacts, cofounder of QTPOC arts organization Queer Rebels) on drums.
The Homobiles have been featured at the New York Live Arts Festival (curated by Mx. Justin Vivian Bond), opened for queercore legends Pansy Division and Team Dresch, and been the subjects of a documentary ("Spacecars and Babes," filmed in Austin during their spring 2017 tour). The anti-fascist music video for their song Homo Safe has screened at film festivals around the world.
MIDDLE-AGED QUEERS

With a live show that’s been described as “feeling like I’d mainlined joy” (Razorcake), Middle-Aged Queers are a Bay Area supergroup of seasoned punks — ex-members of the Cost (Lookout Records), Fang (Boner Records), the Insaints (Maximumrocknroll Records), and the Shondes (Exotic Fever Records) — on a mission to make punk rock gay again. Since 2019, they’ve soaked stages from coast to coast to Canada, including appearances at Gainesville’s Fest, Montreal’s Pouzza Fest, Punk Rock Bowling, and more.
TITS ON A BULL (T.O.A.B.)
Tits on a Bull are a glam punk band that puts on a playful, high-energy show with the Viking Princess and her giant axe at the helm. With songs such as “Resting Fuck You Face,” “Big Hanging Bull Balls,” and the Viking Princess theme song — think a queer glam punk version of “God of Thunder” — these veteran musicians of the Bay Area music scene are a party waiting to happen. A new crowd favorite is “An Ode to Cookie Dough,” a tribute to one of San Francisco’s most beloved drag queens.
Tits on a Bull’s debut vinyl release is a split LP with Erik Core. The band plans to follow the album with U.S. and European tours before returning to the studio to produce their next full-length album.
