DONT ASK DONT TELL: CHRISTMAS IS DEAD w/ Guest DJ EL POSER (CVLT / SWERVE)

There is nothing better than Christmas... except for it being over. So much anticipation. So much egg nog. So much family. Too much.

This season, lets embrace a style that truly embraces the holy spirit- Gothic.

Who better to help us celebrate in such a dark manner than resident DJ EL POSER of the truly evil party CVLT. He has been away on the west coast for so long... but now he is BACK! And what better way to welcome him into our black hearts than with a fabulously twisted DADT!

EL POSER will be joined on stage by the relentlessly sadistic resident DJ Colby Drasher!

DRESS IN ALL BLACK BECAUSE WE ARE MOURNING CHRISTMAS, PEOPLE!

But also we encourage you to get creative and freaky.
You know, leather, lace, latex, rubber? Fetish the shit out
us.

Our DRAG show will be overfloweth with deathly pleasures! Featuring marvelous queens such as:

ANAOL FETALE
&
SEVERITY STONE

DONT ASK DONT TELL: INTERNET FAMOUS

The internet.

Its big. Its bold. You are on it right now.

Perhaps not all of us are blessed enough to become INTERNET SENSATIONS! but hopefully this will change that.

enter... DADT: INTERNET FAMOUS

This month we are getting cyberotic on your asses. Upon walking into Great Scott you will be entering the world wide web. Please feel free to wear your Google Glass and secretly take photos and meme them on the spot.

But if you dont we are going to meme your picture later after our resident photographer Nick Day snatches it probably without your consent.

If there is one guest DJ suited to fit this months theme it has to be the delightful DJ DAYGLOW! DayGlow is popping fresh with culturally inspired material. The internet is her McDonald's ball pit. Upon asking her to guest, she already had a playlist ready- seriously.

By her side of course will be Resident DJ Colby Drasher. He is not internet famous but wants to be. Sad.
Fortunately he is really good at making you do inappropriate moves on the dance floor.

Of course heavy hitters in the DRAG scene are gonna be so online you wont be able to disconnect! So bring your ones, fives and 100's to shower them with!

Come dressed as your favorite internet star! Its time for your vicarious 15 minutes! Be the most convincing at this and win a very special prize!

Because DJ DAYGLOW loves pizza and pizza is big deal on the internet, we will have free pizza available too. WHILE IT LASTS PEOPLE so get there early.

This promises to be one ridiculously fun party.

DONT ASK DONT TELL: PINK FLAMINGOS

There are few directors in the world like John Waters. He is the twisted visionary of the best trashy movies of our time. Along with classics like Pink Flamingos, Cry Baby and Hairspray he has written and directed 16 different fabulous films. So it only makes sense that one of the trashiest dance nights in Boston would pay tribute to the man, the legend, John Waters.

How are we going to do his tribute justice? By once again pulling out all the stops.

This is your opportunity to dress and act as trashy as possible. Im talking, super fucking trashy. Wear the shortest skirt or shorts you own. Don't wear a bra. But if you do then wear a crazy bra that will accidentally stab your friends in the eye. Jock straps? sure. High heels? Definitely. Own a motorcycle? Im gonna have to ask you to ride it straight into Great Scott.

Whats the trashiest amusement park in New England? Probably Canobie Lake Park. So how about we throw in TWO FREE TICKETS to the person who can prove to us that you are truly the most trashy person at the party. Get creative. Mr. Waters likes it that way.

Howabout we get all his best movies and put them in a single sickening raffle where you can win all of them? Yea lets do that and sell em for 2 bucks. Movie night at your place when you walk home with DVD copies of:

PINK FLAMINGOS
CRY BABY
POLYESTER
DESPERATE LIVING
SERIAL MOM
FEMALE TROUBLE
PECKER
HAIRSPRAY

Resident MC/DJ Colby Drasher will threaten you with a switch blade and force you to dance on stage! Who doesn't love that?!

A close to illegal drag show featuring some of the most wild performers in Boston! These nasty ladies are gonna make you S C R E A M. Featuring:
ANAOL FETALE
VIOLENCIA EXCLAMATION POINT
AND MORE!

DIVINE cocktails specifically crafted to make you throw up, shut up and put out.

Disgusting visuals all night courtesy of Nick Day.

And MAYBE just MAYBE there will be the man himself… if Colby can get him to come pay tribute to well…himself. Oh and no promises but because Colby is performing the night before at the ICA with Peaches if she is still in town she may come too. NO PROMISES.

All are welcome who welcome all.

This is DADT: PINK FLAMINGOS and you're gonna eat shit and die.

THE DADT: POOL PARTY FEATURES!

BEN AQUA

Ben Aqua is a multidisciplinary artist based in Austin, Texas. Born in Brooklyn, New York, his visual work has been exhibited internationally and published in Rolling Stone, NYLON, SPIN, NME, Flaunt, Bloomberg Businessweek, OUT, ARKITIP, XLR8R, Beautiful/Decay, JOGGING and Fecal Face. His music has been featured by Interview, Mad Decent, DFA, Polyvinyl, Vice, Dummy Mag, FACT, Modular, URB, BUTT and Opening Ceremony.

He is also the head chief of the electronic music label #FEELINGS.


POOLBOY92

Born in Plainfield, NJ from reggaeton snares and think breaks, poolboy92 was destined for the club. His grace and skill have enabled him to move through the New York Underground over the past few years like a silver panther through his native tree-lines. With support from the likes of Brenmar, Astronomar, Bot, C.Z., and forthcoming releases on #FEELINGS and Apothecary Compositions, the Piscean CDJ prince is sure to galvanize rave generations from here on in. Through his musical endeavors, poolboy92 hopes to ensue a stream of mental aqueducts towards the global awareness of Universal Abundance.


SWELTA

Swelta is Los Angeles based DJ and Producer Anthony Dean. Raised in the heat-laden gutter sound of Austin, Texas, Swelta has made a name for his assorted selection and advocacy of underground music lifestyles and culture. Though classically trained in the UK sound of Garage and Grime, Swelta’s style proves anything but streamlined: “East Coast club music, UK club music, from the heart of the Caribbean to the throws of Texas chopped and screwed, when I play, the lines are merely academic. I believe that we need to strive for diverse club experiences, for experiences that may open minds and overcome the boundaries we experience every day. Though electronic music loves its genre specificity, it’s diversity that actually mirrors our increasingly integrated social world. I guess I’m still a believer in PLUR, without all the bullshit.” Swelta is an affiliate of #FEELINGS Records and Boston’s Lifted Contingency.


COLBY DRASHER

Colby Drasher is a DJ, Event Curator and Visual Artist responsible for the award winning dance party Dont Ask Dont Tell in Boston MA. He has shared the stage with Saint Pepsi, Brenmar, Pictureplane, Le1f, Myyki Blanco, MikeQ, Boychild, Pajaritos, D'hana and many others. His sets have been described as "relentless" and tend to feature a broad range of high energy dance music. He is unafraid to get down with his audience and invite people on stage to party up close and personal.
