"Just Being With Each Other In Queer Space... It Matters" - with Bitch

Cast your mind back to the year 1999 - we were all worried about the Y2K bug, there's this new cartoon called Spongebob Squarepants, and the queer folk punk duo Bitch and Animal release their debut album 'What's That Smell?'. One of the songs on the album, 'Drag King Bar', documents the band's misadventures at a night called Club Casanova, which was a weekly drag king night held at Velvet in New York City.

I was lucky enough to nab some time with Bitch, who is in the midst of touring her latest record 'Bitchcraft', to find out about that bar and the make out session with drag King Murray Hill that inspired the song. Along the way we talk about how Bitch and Animal were first discovered by legendary singer/songwriter Ani Difranco, a roommate from hell, and what it's like having a pretty much ungoogleable name...

Do you have any memories of Club Casanova, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share?
