Three things come to my mind when I think about summer: day drinking, rooftop parties, and beach trips. And none of these things would be complete without the perfect soundtrack to accompany it. With the first OverEasy of the season quickly approaching- it’s SUNDAY- and this week’s Best Coast ticket giveaway, co-sponsored by the 9:30 [...]

New Swag, New Sound: Lucas Silveira & The Cliks

Silveira

Lucas Silveira hated the sound of his own voice. He’d fronted a group of Canadian alt-rockers called the Cliks since 2004, and he’d sung, screeched and swaggered into the hearts and iPods of angsty queers all across the continent with the help of his hypnotic stage presence and signature eyebrow tilt.

Hallmark and florists’ favorite holiday is descending upon us–that’s right, the big V Day is tomorrow.

Election 2012 Recap: A Message from the Editors

electoral results

Cici: We don’t usually broach politics on Where the Girls Go.
