Gender Blender @ Las Rosas

The September edition of Miami's favorite queer punk party, Gender Blender, took over Las Rosas Sunday night, September 23 for a lineup of rowdy live rock and experimental drag. Pigface and the Destroyers defiled the stage between performances from Kunst and Florida Man. For a $2 fee, patrons could purchase a hand-written fortune from a live teller boxed by the back bar.
