At 11PM, Bootie house band Smash-Up Derby presents "Smells Like Mashups 101: A Bastard Pop History Lesson," as the band traces the chronology of the scene's most landmark tracks, from 2002's seminal "A Stroke of Genie-us" to the multiple mashed-up versions of "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Also spinning will be DJs Party Ben, Malderor, and Dada, and the upstairs "Covers Lounge" will feature cover songs all night, with DJs Earworm and Throat Yogurt.

Launched in 2003, Bootie was the first club night in the United States dedicated solely to the burgeoning artform of the bootleg mashup -- and is now the biggest mashup event in the world, with monthly parties in seven cities on two continents. Mixing and matching every conceivable musical genre, era, and style into one big dance party where everyone feels welcome, Bootie provides the soundtrack for the A.D.D. generation -- with free mashup CDs given away like candy!

Resident DJs Adrian, the Mysterious D, and Dada keep your brain guessing and body dancing with creative song combinations, celebrating -- and satirizing -- the many different forms of music. Guest mashup DJs from around the world are featured, and the infamous midnight mashup show showcases popular local drag and burlesque performers.

Their sound is very reminiscent of the great reggae band Third World and to a lesser extent Aswad and Steel Pulse. Their performances at home often morph into sing-a-long affairs.

Hubba Hubba Revue'S Murder-Lovin', Chainsaw-Totin', No-Account Country-Cousins, Creepshow Peepshow, are back for another spine-chilling night of terror-riffic burlesque, killer comedy, and all the fun you can have locked-up in a backwoods insane-asylum swarming with bloodthirsty freaks!

Join Evil Old Dr. Kingfish, Intern Eddie, and all the pretty fiends of Rustbucket County! They're plannin' a night you won't forget for as long as you live... If you're lucky enough to live that long!

Free (evil!) dance lessons upstairs, 9:30-10PM by (evil!) Brian from Swing Goth!

Special 10PM screening of Val Killmore's horror-comedy masterpiece: The Terror of Titty Town! (15 min.)

"The San Francisco Drag King Contest is a mash-up of the Miss America Pageant, American Idol, Halloween and a Monster Truck Show," states impresario Fudgie Frottage. "We have every kind of drag from suits to fruits; studs to puds -- Everything from Elvis impersonators to Leather Daddies, Wrestlers, Contortionists, Hillbillies, Clowns, Jocks, and their female counterparts. It's a mind-boggling, dress-to-impress occasion, where part of the fun is just trying tell the performers and audience members apart."

Style, soul sounds and sex appeal will merge as the jump-off to a monthly soiree that finds forty some-odd young stunners rocking the latest in couture as a prelude to a national recording artiste belting and crooning R&B and soul music before a diverse and stylish crowd.

Omar's fans include some of the most recognizable names in music. Stevie Wonder says, "When I grow up I want to be like Omar," and Erykah Badu says, "Omar is my favorite artist, ever." Sing (If You Want It), released in 2006, brings a deeper bass tone and trunk rattle utilizing raw hip-hop production. On this album as on previous records, Omar shifts effortlessly from silky falsettos and crooning love ballads to riding the viscous rhythm of bass laden grooves.
