NO BRA (NYC) live
"Electroclash-inspired" -dj-set by FAG YOU! dj’s Shoplifter & Janne X, with Peijakas dj's & visuals by Sakke Soini – Fri 01/09 @ Kaikun Kammari
ABOUT:
"NO BRA / Susanne Oberbeck is a random queer. An offbeat individual who's built an image so anti-establishment she turns heads wherever she rolls. She's a pornographic priestess and a naughty girl, re-naming herself 'No Bra' after a shock tabloid expose on former S Clubber Rachel Stevens - 'Rachel Stevens With No Bra!’” (i-D, 2016) She had had an underground hit with “Munchausen” which was included to DJ Pete Tong’s “Best of 2005” list and Rough Trade compilation. A German transplant living in NYC she has inspired / performed / worked with artists such as Wolfgang Tillmans, Bruce LaBruce, Slava Mogutin, The Gossip, Patrick Wolf, Fischerspooner, Mykki Blanco and Hood by Air, to name a few, and performed at venues varying from posh art establishments like Tate Gallery and Centre Pompidou to sleazy (gay) sex dungeons.
FAG YOU! started in the sweaty summer of 2005 as Helsinki's equivalent to London’s legendary NAGNAGNAG but soon found it’s own identity as a leading alternative club night in Helsinki. First one in the city's nightlife history: a monthly gay event with punk's DIY attitude.
PEIJAKAS! - queer feminist parties since 2009. Space giraffes, sweaty beats, riot rhythms and glitter pants: a whole lot of twerking going on. DJ's Muffins & Bombarelli.
SAKKE SOINI accidentally started his VJ career when the FAG YOU! boys were visiting Turku in 2006, in the now legendary Bar Päiväkoti. Boys needed a laptop to display some of their photographs from previous parties and Sakke, at the time working as a bartender helped the guys out. Sakke had a groundbreaking idea that maybe it would be possible to display material other than photos on the screen and the rest, as they say, is history.

"Just as punk had provided a cheap, transgressive, exciting and accessible route to the heart of rock’n’roll as an antidote to a rock establishment that had become remote from its roots and its constituency, so electroclash gave the finger to the established values and egos of time and burst in a riotous flash of colour and polysexual sauciness into the middle of the dance scene.” (FACT, 2014)
