HAG Theatre proudly presents the Montreal based dance/rock/techno band Lesbians on Ecstasy! Opening for the band will be the award winning queer slam poetry of BLAIR backed by the Urban Folk Collective featuring Invincible.
Attendees will be sharing room on the dance floor with our own drag kings and go-go dancers! Bamm and Smooth Vanilla (that's me) from Marcella's Ladies Nite will be performing, as will one of Rochester's finest kings.

The Lesbians on Ecstasy are making electronic music of the lesbian variety.It's kd.lang, but it's different somehow... Lesbo folk songs, rebel songs and beats for the modern lesbian. Straights and dudes love it too. The Lezzies On X are a live dance outfit from Montreal, Quebec. Playing a mixture of hardcore breakbeat and house inspired party music, they are known for their shows featuring live drums (sometimes electronic drum pads, sometimes an acoustic kit), a bass player, samples, sequences and a mad dancing front woman. They steal liberally from the lesbian back catalogue, referencing artists like kd lang and the Indigo Girls, to create booty shaking dance hits that maintain the politically infused edge of many early sapphic songwriters. LOE bring beats with meaning while carving out their place in the boys-club world of dance.
The Lezzies on X are from Montreal with... Bernie Bankrupt on the Ensonique, Veronique Mystique on the Monster Bass, Jackie "The JackHammer" on the Octapad, and our very own Fruity Frankie (aka Lynne T) rockin' the Vox.


BLAIR is an award winning self described Urban Folk Singer/Songwriter/Poet from Detroit, who in the words of Metro Times journalist Melissa Giannini, "focuses his work on the hope that rises from the ashes of despair."

hag theatre. we've changed. we're better. we're now a production company run by 4 amazing queer women. last nite the realization hit us that we are in fact running our own company and it can be as big and fabulous as we want it to be!

so, reader, i ask this advice...
shall i move to dc in search of a feminist job whilst living for free chez ma soeur? or, stay here and build up hag? or live in dc for a brief stint then return? argh. many factors that weigh in on this one...
