We're making our Monkey Loft debut with a West Coast staple for the last 10+ years- Nick Monaco! Having last played Seattle back in 2014, the lipstick wearing, genre bending lad from NorCal makes his way back for what's sure to be an excellent night at the Loft.
In addition to an illustrious career with multiple LPs and releases on Wolf + Lamb records, Crew Love, and Dirtybird, he views dance music as a form of radical self expression as well as activism, having founded a lipstick company whose proceeds went directly to funding sex changes. His performances and outfits are eclectic and electric, assisting his aim to create a fluid and free space for connection on the Dancefloor.
"So Monaco wears lipstick on stage; he rocks jumpsuits, he plays with fashion—just like his icons did. Whether he's playing his own show or on a lineup of massive artists, like Dirtybird Campout, he actively avoids creating a monochromatic experience for his audience because nightlife and dance music is rooted in color... "People open up in a different way when I perform," he observes. "Wearing lipstick confidently rather than ironically inspires something different in people. Now I'm passing out lipstick at shows and seeing a dozen dudes smiling—wearing lipstick, too." - Nylon, 2018
On support we've got Give'nGroove's own Parker Mills, Makes Me Human head honcho (and Nick Monaco fanboy) Kinjo, and a special closing b2b by local stapes Julie Herrera and Avignon.
Proceeds from this event will be donated to a to Lambert House which empowers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth through the development of leadership, social, and life skills.
