DONT ASK DONT TELL: QUEER FASHION w/ AFROPANTHER


Grace Jones.
Annie Lennox.
David Bowie. 
Leigh Bowery. 

What do these individuals have in common? 
Queer Fashion. 

This month at Boston's longest running queer party we put the spotlight on suave. Explore the limits of gender and identity through the use of wardrobe. There are so many lqqks to choose from the freedom can almost be suffocating! But its not. So grab your lipstick, your doc martins, your lace and your leather- 

Our musical guest this month is a DJ not unfamiliar with the Boston scene- 

AFROPANTHER

Teddy Valentine, also known by the stage name Afropanther, is a DJ, performer, and producer from Hartford, Connecticut. Afropanther is based in the Northampton, Massachusetts area and is a Pioneer Valley favorite amongst fans of all different demographics. Before Northampton, Afropanther lived in Montreal, Quebec for 3 years. While performing under the name DJ Noisewavvesz, they held 2 weekly DJ nights at Bar Backstage in the Village. Just recently in August, Afropanther deejayed for Lucas Charlie Rose's set at FIERTE CANADA 2017 and also had the pleasure of headlining Black Lives Matter Montreal's Benefit Fundraiser at La Sala Rossa. They have also performed at Bar Le Ritz for SLUT ISLAND MUSIC FEST 2017 and Divan Orange supporting Lucas Charlie Rose and TransTrenderz. After leaving Montreal in 2015, they came to the Pioneer Valley and started the legacy of Afropanther. Afropanther has been based in the valley for almost 3 years now and this past August has left the Iron Horse Entertainment Group, where they used to hold Hip Hop Takeover every Tuesdays and#THIRST DJ DANCE PARTY every 3rd Friday at the Basement in Northampton. They have also been booked at Iron Horse Music Hall, The Monkey Bar, Bishops Lounge, Pearl Street Nightclub, as well as at all Five Colleges (Smith College, UMass, Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College) for year round events. Afropanther has won the heart of university students and is popular amongst the local townies in the Pioneer Valley/Five College area. In April 2017, Afropanther was asked by the Mount Holyoke Faculty/Student committee to open up for Waka Flocka Flame for the school's annual SPRING JAM. Whether behind the turntables or front and center, Afropanther is sure to get you dancing and into the groove.
