FAG YOU! 10 YEARS presents LIVE: SSION (US) & IISA (FI) with acoustic duo live-set + DJ's ERKKO, MAKELOVE, PIETARI, PEIJAKAS! DJ's & resident DJ's SHOPLIFTER & JANNE X – Friday 26.6.2015 @ KUUDES LINJA.

Visuals: SAKKE SOINI. Host: infamous PENA INTERNATIONAL

Club FAG YOU! started in the sweaty summer of '05 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.

From the basement of then-hotspot “BIRDIE”, via upstairs of Iso Roba’s “DTM" until finally settling to now-late, beloved “NOLLA”, we have a lot of fun nights to remember! We had the pleasure to work with the most cutting-edge -domestic and international- artists and dj’s of the time. Massive THANK YOU to ALL our collaborators!

Now is your FINAL CHANCE for a one LAST DANCE with us, as we are celebrating 10 years anniversary at KUUDES LINJA on FRIDAY 26th of June. Time for a proper celebratory GOODBYE with an amazing line-up featuring alternative sensation SSION (US) first time ever in Finland, and our old friend IISA with acoustic live-set (Regina was one of the first bands to do a full live-set at Fag You!, in 2006)! You are warmly welcome. <3

We are part of the official PRIDE HELSINKI 2015 programme.

About SSION:
SSION (pronounced "shun") is Cody Critcheloe - essentially a name for his ideas that encompass a wide-range of media consisting of music, videos, art and live performance. Technically, SSION isn't really from anywhere and doesn't belong/subscribe to any scene and even though people like to describe it as a "gay" this or that, it's really more like a body-conscious punk-pop centric modern-day Grateful Dead, with a rotating list of collaborators. SSION is always active but never consistent; sporadically releasing records for over 10 years while directing music videos for other artists including Santigold, Kylie Minogue, Perfume Genius, Gossip, Liars, and more. SSION has also created artwork for Yeah Yeah Yeahs 'Fever To Tell' and most recently Charli XCX. SSION's 2012 release "Bent" garnered huge amounts of attention from the likes of New York Times, Dazed & Confused, V magazine, Fader, Vice etc. and was accompanied by critically acclaimed music videos for "My Love Grows in The Dark", "Earthquake", "Luvvbazaar", and "high" - all produced and directed by Critcheloe.

About IISA:
Iisa (Iisa Pykäri) is a Helsinki based singer-songwriter originally known as the lead singer of Finnish indie band Regina. Her debut solo album, released in 2014, received rave reviews and debuted at number six in official Finnish album chart. New single "Polulta harhaan" is out now and the second album will follow this autumn!

About PIETARI:
A vision passing through three decades of Helsinki nightlife. A celebrated DJ, an unconventional role-model, a designer/artist working in Helsinki. Since 1994 DJ PIETARI a.k.a Jean Michelle has been playing in every major club and event in Finland. He has also promoted the well respected club nights Flop, Doom, Pump & La Persé.

About MARKO MAKELOVE:
Makelove has influenced over a decade on how Helsinki sounds. He is operating between electronic and indie music. Besides being a dj, he has promoted cult nights like Music Is Better and MISF*TS. He is also known from Radio Helsinki and currently is a resident at Lauantaidisko.

About ERKKO:
Erkko launched his DJ career in the mid-90’s as part of the Niitty collective. From the more electronic beats to indie sound, he has played at the most important music events in Finland. He has promoted top club nights like Flash, Death Discotheque and MISF*TS. Currently he is a resident at Lauantaidisko.

About PEIJAKAS:
Peijakas! - queer feminist parties since 2009. Space giraffes, sweaty beats, riot rhythms and glitter pants: a whole lot of twerking going on. DJ's Stuffin' Muffins & Lady Chatterleyn rakastaja.

About VJ SAKKE SOINI:
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.

For this special event we have also decided to ship in from the Baltic states PENA INTERNATIONAL herself, the most scandalous nightlife person of the years 2005-2011 in a row, to host your FAG YOU! experience to the MAXIMUM.
