In the span of just a couple hours they played 3 Prince songs...When Doves Cry, Kiss, and Erotic City. It was not an 80's themed night either :O


This made me wonder, where would ya be more likely to hear P's music in public nowadays, in a str8 club/bar or a gay one?

I was at a gay leather bar in LA one time and the DJ played Mountains!!! I freaked out!

That is cool! I've NEVER heard that song at any club! I bet it sounded great

Nikster said:

It did. Especially cuz it came on the heels of a hardcore rock song. I was inside with all the speakers and when I heard that familiar linn drum bouncing up and down I literally jumped and hooted!!

How ya doin Nik? Hope like finds you doing well

Nikster said:

From my own experiences I would bet the gay club.
I've asked dj after dj to play Prince & I always hear they have NO Prince. No Prince at all.

I've been doing great Thanks for asking

Most gay clubs play the same boring "hi-nrg" techno crap that sounds like munchkins on speed. It's a miracle when I hear something that doesn't sound like it was done by Crystal Waters circa 1991, let alone something by Prince.

It's really depressing cuz I live in LA and you'd think the club scene would be excellent as far as music is concerned and that hi-nrg crap is all they play here too. I mean they were playing the theme some from Pocahontas and Celine Dion love songs masked over with a club beat. It's so fucking pathetic.

I do love the music scene in San Francisco. Why can't our clubs bump like that?

Oh holy crap, the hi-nrg version of "My Heart Will Go On" will be played on an eternal loop when I die and go to Hell.

that's a good question. i worked at a restaurant in philly and they had an upstairs lounge called l'etage. right before i moved i was asked to spin up there. well, of course, it eventually turned into a prince-a-thon. but, with a mixed crowd in there, that was the ONLY thing that got EVERYBODY up and dancing. and i mean everybody. straight, gay, white, black, puerto rican...the other stuff had some people up but prince moved them all!

I've had the same exact experience, except I've been asking dj's in gay clubs. They NEVER have Prince, and they look at me like I'm fucking weird for asking, generally.

and met a Russian drag queen.,She called herself an "apparentchick".

Anxiety said:

Hahahah u know Crystal Waters is a Prince fan.

That is really too bad guys, the gay scene here in Toronto Absolutely Rocks. You can take your pick of Hip Hop Nights, House, Garage, Techno(bringing in world famous Dj's every weekend), and Electro. there is a night called Vazaleen promoted by this guy Will Munroe which has recently taken off huge, it's an alternative/punk/electro night where he also brings in live performances. It is absolutely off the wall. Always something to do around here, and this is just the gay scene I am talking about... Perhaps you should come visit?

gay clubs have the best music

rdhull said:

I second that !

I can´t agree that gay clubs play the best music. At least not here in Germany.Most of the times they play the same old boring mixture of Kylie/Madonna/Oldies and House-Music.
On every party you go you get the same music.
I was so fed up with this that i decided to organize an own party with some friends in my hometown in Münster/Germany (www.din-a-queer.de)with Indedpendent, Rock and alternative Music which is very successful because many people seem to feel the same way.
We even play some Prince-Stuff from time to time like When doves cry, Sign of the times or Kiss.

The gay clubs (well...cluB) here spins Gett Off quite a lot, and Pussy Control if you ask REAL nice too
You gotta suck off the DJ tho...

Is he cute?

Moxy said:

Hell, Toronto ain't too far...I could even drive that shit. Sounds like a MUCH more vibrant scene than what I got goin' on ... but then again, I DO live in Ohio, so whose fault is that?

Always wanted to visit Toronto anyway...I say we organize a Kweer Org-y weekend in Canada...what'chall think? Maybe if we ask real nice we can even get BananaCologne to make a cross-continental visit...

Anxiety said:

Too true. It's like bathouse music... I hear.

I went to a gay club once and all they played was Kylie and Pet Shop Boys.

i work at a bar, kinda like coyote ugly.. and we play prince all the time... mostly the more pop version like kiss, and cream


although one time

we did play 319 & ripopgodazippa

(kinda reminded me of Showgirls) hehe

Aerogram said:

Ewww...they play shitty music in the bathhouses up there? (Do I remember where you live correctly?) As far as I know, in the states the bathhouses are music-less...makes more sense to me, anyway. But maybe I've just been to the seediest of seedy bathhouses, and the top notch abercrombie ones play music - couldn't tell ya that.

Did I just type all that out loud?

On the homo tip, I was just showering for my FAAABulous night on the town, and I was listening to "Exploding All Over Europe," which I think is the most recent unreleased track to surface. That could be a gay anthem, easy...or could've. Probably still could...throw some pink bubbles in there and show Rosie's girth...the fags'll eat it up.

The song I heard most often in recent years was Sign O the Time. The weirdest was hearing Raspberry Beret at a leather bar.

Dang, then I'd hate to hear what they're playing in non-gay clubs these days.

I went to a strip club last night and I said to my mate, that all I needed now was for a lady to do a dance to a Prince record. I was having a private dance in the back of the club and Purple Rain came on!
