The pope is gonna pop his top...


Gio Black Peter's new album THE VIRGIN SHUFFLE is just about to drop. And it's good. Really good. Ive had the privilege of receiving an advance copy and ever since it's been on repeat on my ipod. The album features brand new collaborations and if you listen carefully, I do background vocals on one track "A-OK Gorilla"

Recently, Gio premiered tracks from THE VIRGIN SHUFFLE in a live performance organized by SPANK LIVE II here in NYC. Slava Mogutin's camera, always at the ready, captured video of the debut.

PINEAL NOMAD ART LEAGUE!: My interview on Grateful Grapefruit



Hung Horse Hospital



HUNG is an exhibition curated by the artist Stuart Sandford featuring photographic, video, installation works and works on paper. The show brings together a group of both emerging and established international artists whose work explores ideas of sex and sexuality and the male form. Taking inspiration from the LA and NYC sex clubs and gay movie theatres of the 70s and 80s, the exhibition space will be transformed into a place where sex, money and the smell of amyl nitrate are the order of the day.
