Five Sixty

A new gay nightclub opening here? In Vancouver? It must be true cause I finally saw some posters out on the poles on Davie St.... It sounds like I'm going to be taking Xtra photographer Brandon Gaukel there on Saturday night to document the opening for the new Xtra Vancouver.

It's not every day a new dance space opens in this town... which is why I'm giving you plenty of notice so you can come too.

Here are the details:

For the record: Honey Dijon was the first DJ I bought a ticket to go see. She's AMAZING.

And maybe one of the DJs will be kind enough to play this for me:

 
New Sophie Ellis Bextor.... I've been waiting for this track ever since I heard the Freemasons spin it during the Olympics. LOVE IT ALREADY and am dying for a killer remix.

See you Saturday?

RE: Club 560, and it's frontman, Vince Alvaro:

How interesting it is too see no mention of Vince Alvaro’s unsavory behaviors, including his well known virulent racism, which can appear out of no where, in an obsessive manor. Not everyone coming into regular contact with Alvaro, (not to mention his architect partner), will experience this. However, if you scratch below the surface, and do careful research, many will be able to recall experiencing Alvaro’s seething, and volatile discriminatory remarks, along side his history of other contemptible actions.



It is troubling, and highly problematic that legitimate galleries are associating with this individual and his venture. It would appear Presentation House director Reid Shear, and others, have a naïve and very uninformed view of Alvaro. However, around many, Vince is at least clever enough to conceal his true nature. Those that do know the truth, are turning a blind eye as they prostitute themselves for a job, or are just too vapid to care.

Furthermore, “Art”, for Vince is purely a status thing--void of critical thought, or any depth at all. This club is merely his phallic symbol.
