Most likely it was due to this picture of Go BANG! hanging out around Folsom Street Fair http://gobangsf.com/folsom.jpg (DO NOT OPEN IF THERE ARE PRUDES AROUND) And whatever "friend" on Facebook reported this picture: What a nerd, and watch out for KARMAAAAAAA....
I hope to resolve this through normal means, but worst case will create a new personal account and start all over again.
So email me Sergio@... or text me or call me while I'm off of FB for the time being.
Let's get to the fun stuff THIS WEEKEND!

About 3 years ago I heard about this great authentic Trocadero Transfer tribute disco party. I went and had a real fun time! The following year I HAD to have the guys throwing the party on my show, and my admiration & appreciation for Richard, Chris, Keefe, and DJ JERRY BONHAM's dedication to making this a truly authentic disco experience was cemented. And then this happened: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/sergioaudio/message/429 . Since then, they've remained great friends, I had my first & only Cougar encounter at one of the parties, have met many DJs from back in the day, and it remains my first & favorite DISCO experience! THIS SUNDAY! I will be there for LIFTOFF at 6 sharp, please join me!

==Sunday October 18th== Can't-Miss San Francisco HISTORY! Megatron Man: The Life and Times ofPatrick Cowley at Mama Calizo's Voice Factory. http://www.deejaypeeplay.com/megatronman/index2.html On October 18th, 2009, Honey Soundsystem and Mama Calizo's Voice Factory will host Megatron Man: The Life and Times of Patrick Cowley an early evening event celebrating the life of a musician who we have bonded over and has influenced us on various levels including our sound, aesthetics and cultural upbringing in San Francisco.
Often credited as the American Giorgio Moroder, Patrick's legend has become a symbol for a time when free love and technology would come together to forever change the social landscape. On this evening we come together to celebrate the journey and genius of Patrick to appease all the disco spirits of so many like him who fell victim to the AIDS crisis during the early 80's.
An exhibition of never before seen artifacts, interviews, multimedia installations along with an open call for submissions that has generated responses from artists, music enthusiasts, and old friends and colleagues from all over the world. Those in attendance of the event are encouraged to bring their own offerings to what will be a living altar on the eve of what would be Patrick's 59th birthday.
Directly following the exhibition will be a record release party down the street celebrating the worldwide premier of CATHOLIC: The Lost Patrick Cowley Release Party On the eve of Patrick Cowley's 59th Birthday Honey Soundsystemcelebrates the release of Catholic, a full unreleased album, writtenand performed by Patrick Cowley in collaboration with Indoor Lifevocalist Jorge Socarras to be released the next day on Macro. Jorge Socarras and many of Patrick's friends will be joining the Honeycrew as they play selections from the John Hedges "Mineshaft" recordcollection.

==THURSDAY==
L.O.W. SF & Go BANG! present the next chapter San Francisco's DISCO scene!
Beginning Thursday September 3, 2009 & every FIRST Thursday at The Triple Crown: Studio S.F.
!!!
We're bringing together DJs & Live Performances that bridge all eras & styles of Disco including a strong focus on Nu Disco/Filter Disco. From authentic Underground 70's/80's to current producers keeping the Disco vibe alive & pushing it forward into the future.
For the PREMIERE party Thursday, September 3, we are starting off with the big guns! Performers include:
- Ken Vulsion (HONEYSOUNDSYSTEM) DJ Set!
As a founding member of San Francisco's premiere Heavy Disco Dance
collective - HONEYSOUNDSYSTEM - Ken & the rest of the crew (Jason
Kendig, Robot Hustle, Peeplay, Josh Cheon) have recently celebrated the
2nd Anniversary of their amazing, always-exciting FREE Sunday Paradise
Loft Party. They are the "sister" party of London's Horsemeat Disco
crew, Ken recently was asked to do a mix for Tim Sweeny's oh-so-hot
Beats In Space radio show (http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/470)
and Ken has been pivotal in unearthing previously-unreleased Patrick
Cowley tapes - with the "Catholic" EP being the first in Stefan
Goldmann and Finn Johannsen's Prototypes series on Macro Label. Ken
always delivers heavy, bassy Disco beats, and he is NOT to be missed!
- White Girl Lust (Solid Bump Records) DJ Set!
These cats - Clayton Meador & Eric Kozack - have been releasing
psychedelic, filter-heavy Disco singles for the past couple of years,
which you have heard in many a tastemaker DJ's set. Last month Solid
Bump launched their attack on Summer with a label showcase at Vessel's
Infatuation. Over 350 people came out to celebrate the release of their
new EP Back and Forth. This set the tone for a summer in which they
plan to release 6 EPs. As the party progresses we hope to get other
Solid Bump artists into Studio SF, but don't miss this chance to see
these DJs. They are amazing DJs with a funky sounds enroute to the
farthest reaches of acid explosions they must be seen & heard, and
you will not be able to resist getting down & dirty!
-Sergio (Go BANG!) DJ Set!

Steve, one of the original pioneer DJ's, began his career in the Disco Glory Days of the '70's, first spinning at warehouse/loft parties, then gaining residencies at major SF clubs. While Larry Levan, Richie Rivera, and Robbie Leslie were blazing trails at Paradise Garage, Flamingo and 12 West in NYC, Steve and Bobby Viteritti were burning it up in San Francisco at the legendary Trocadero Transfer. During this "Golden Age of Gay", Steve was also a resident at the much-loved I-Beam, where he played at Sunday Tea Dance with Tim Rivers and Michael Garrett. In 1980, Steve was one of the first DJ's to play at "Church", the notorious Sunday morning party at the EndUp. Then, it was time for New York!
In 1983, Steve moved to NYC after getting a residency at 12 West/River Club. A year later he would land another residency at Tracks, where he would play Sunday nights for a number of years, while doing guest shots at the Palladium and the Anvil. Steve frequently went to the Paradise Garage, and David DePino, who played at the Garage with Larry, also played at Tracks, making it a sister club of the Garage.
Steve returned to San Francisco in 1988 to reopen Dreamland and then to play at Crew and Colossus. The '90's found Steve in Los Angeles as a resident at Axis(Factory) and was a frequent guest at Probe and "Does Your Momma Know?" and traveled throughout the country playing at events and clubs. Eventually, the road led Steve back to San Francisco, where he currently lives and continues to spin his soulful flavor of Disco and House.
Chilidog! @ Triple Crown Hosts: Stanley & Stephen !YOUGUYS! $3 dollar well drinks! This is always an awesome party, both gents are Go BANG! star players, and Sept.

Thanks to everyone who downloaded my EXCLUSIVE "Baby I'm Burning"
from the ModeRadio Blog last week. It seems the link I gave you had a
spotty version of the mix. If you go to http://moderadio.blogspot.com and listen from there, all should be well. Listen to it from the
embedded player on the right-hand side, or hit the "Get Podcast" button
on the player to download the podcast to your ITunes! Contact me with any questions/comments/etc.
Thanks, first, to all the AMAZING friends & dancers to who came to support me at HNY SNDY. And to all the HNY boys! And to Ken Vulsion! What a night! Read further below to hear what happened. Fierce.
But first, there's a neat blog called mode.radio, run by the lovely LadyMode. She asked me to do a mix EXCLUSIVE to her blog. It's called "Baby, I'm Burning" after the Dolly Parton song. Yes, Dolly Parton. In my mix. Trust me, it works :) So go there to get it!

TONITE is a very special, important and life-or-death fund raising event I strongly encourage you to support.
Since 2004, hundreds of gay men have been killed in Iraq. Although this deadly campaign has been investigated and recognized by the Human Rights Report of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) in 2007, little has been done to stop the killings. Over the past few months the violence and killing have escalated. Between February and March it is estimated that 28 to 60 men have been killed and many more have been terrorized and tortured.

OK! If you read this far, here is your reward! A few months back, myself & BT Magnum (Beat Electric: http://beatelectric.blogspot.com ) threw a little Friday night shindig called DISCOnotDISCO!
Personally, this party afforded me the chance to work with DJs who Iadmire & respect but never had a chance to interact with outside ofmy dancing to them DJing (Thanks BT Magnum, Bus Station John &Rebecca Watkins!) and it also gave me the chance to work with DJfriends I've known a long time, who got behind the disco conceptwholeheartedly & rocked it (Thanks Hakobo, Rick Preston &Stanley!). Not to mention meeting Steven Hawley of the band all usdisco heads are digging nowadays - Codebreaker!
It's been a while, BUT now we have a portion of the night recorded, for you to experience it from the comfort of your home! You get to check out Hakobo, Steven Hawley+BT Magnum, and my mixes!
Tuesday: I join Stanley for his weekly FIERTH Chilidog! party @ Triple Crown! I CANNOT WAIT! If you have not expereinced the 'Dog! then you have not lived! It is the awesome!

Thursdays WEEKLY
I'm not playing, but am a full-fledged fan & supporter of this AWESOME afrolatinpercussiveDANCE party!
Fridays Weekly: KiNkY BeAtS @ Cafe Flore! Join our Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=47460138298 Stay WARM with hot drinks, good food & a great vibe.
Come early for dinner! Kitchen closes at 10!
Also, become Glenn Rivera's friend through Multimedia- he has DEEP disco knowledge and puts out tons of songs you can get turned on to - new & old but disco in nature! I've learned a lot from him since getting keyed into him last year! I'm a big fan of FREE re-edits too!: http://www.shadesofseventies.com/restructure.html
On behalf of BT Magnum (Beat Electric), Paradise Lounge & myself, I'd like to offer my sincere & heartfelt thanks to those who came out Friday night to DISCOnotDISCO! Not only did the DJs represent with awesome tracks & great enthusiasm, but we also were able to get the GREAT visuals of That Mold Science (http://www.myspace.com/thatmoldscience ) to add to the party vibe. Thanks also go to Disco Tom Noble for the amazing flyer design! And the staff at Paradise Lounge - from servers to bouncers to the sound guy - were great to work with! Thanks, also, to all our friends to helped us in spreading the word about the party and coming out to support!
Personally, this party afforded me the chance to work with DJs who I admire & respect but never had a chance to interact with outside of my dancing to them DJing (Thanks BT Magnum, Bus Station John & Rebecca Watkins!) and it also gave me the chance to work with DJ friends I've known a long time, who got behind the disco concept wholeheartedly & rocked it (Thanks Hakobo, Rick Preston & Stanley!). Not to mention meeting Steven Hawley of the band all us disco heads are digging nowadays - Codebreaker! Supastar! :) He's in LA, so SoCal friends go check him out!
Many people have asked about the party, and here's the scoop! It was a one-off
party thrown by myself and BT Magnum. Given the great feedback, there
may be a future DISCOnotDISCO party and/or a future collaboration
between Sergio (Go BANG!) & BT Magnum (Beat Electric)! He is the
first person I've partnered up for parties, and was great to work with.
BUT now I (and the rest of the Team) focus my energy to promote and encourage you ALL to mark your
calendars for the party that started it all, and keeps the movement
going forward - Go BANG! Returning & starting MONTHLY at DECO SF! Saturday March 28 and every 4th Saturday thereafter!
Wednesdays Weekly, but the week especially HAPPY BIRFDAY ALONA!!

NOTE THE EARLY START TIME! This my friend's Mardi Gras club's BIG ASS Annual Masked Ball that rivals anything they do in New Orleans! This year they are pulling out all stops and lowered their ticket price from $75 down to ONLY $20! Whether or not you come in costume, with friends or alone, they promise you a GREAT TIME! Their beneficiary, Under One Roof, had to cancel their big gala last fall due to the economy and it was a big loss to over 30 HIV/AIDS agencies in the Bay Area. Budgets are being cut and donations are way down ... so let's bump it up and pitch in to make sure People with HIV/AIDS get the services they need to maintain a decent quality of life. On Facebook, check out their Event Page for more details.
Another upcoming Fundraiser next Wednesday February 11, also for a wonderful cause is Old Skool Cafe's "Swingin' at the Apollo" GALA Fundraiser, featuring award-winning Chef Eddie Blyden and entertainment by Old Skool Cafe Youth Interns. This GALA benifits at-risk youth, and truly is inspiring!Check out their website for more details: http://www.oldskoolcafe.org/gala & check out their FaceBook Event and purchase tickets !
And February 14, Valentine's Day, go to Mighty to enjoy Rich Medina, DJ Spinna Hakobo at Nothing But Love! It's Hakobo's birthday!!
Below is the setlist for my January 31 KALX show The Best of 2008 Show!
Go BANG! would like to give our sincere & heartfelt thanks to all of you who came out Saturday January 24 to sweat, dance, and BANG!
After months of promoting, we faced a serious obstacle when we had a last-minute venue change *less than a week before the event*! We were very fortunate to find a new home at the friendly, hospitable, and open-to-our-vibe DECO SF! Thank you, David, Roger, Robert, Gary and all the wonder DECO staff! Thanks also to Moe, who was our connection at the original venue and was also taken by surprise by its sudden closing. Being the true professional & friend, he gave us as much notice as he could, which allowed us to relocate and recover. It is uplifting - in a business that sometimes has flakes and unprofessional people - to work with such true pros like Moe & the Deco crew!
In spite of the last-minute venue change, we regrouped and you REPRESENTED by packing the club and strutting your fabulous stuff, exceeding our expectations and increasing attendance TEN TIMES OVER!
If you came to our previous party, we are sure you could sense the new & improved excitement, energy & TONSA SEXY PEOPLE that packed the party this time! People of all ages, all flavors, all styles, came together as one big happy family and BANG!ed the night away. This was what it was all about! *sigh*
Check out the pics on Facebook or MySpace ! They are Rated R so be careful! Tag yourself if you haven't already!
Stay tuned for future Go BANG! developments!
THIS WILL BE MONTHLY starting March 28! Wee!
Additionally, Go BANG! is not resting on its laurels!
-Expect one-off parties presented by Go BANG! and, of course, support & enjoy the wonderful parties the Go BANG! crews throw!
-Go BANG! will be inviting International, National & Local talent to beef up the Go BANG! rosters as the months go on!
-Along with this, as the party evolves, we will be expanding the Go BANG! space (expect 2 or 3 floors of music & spreading-out); adding more sound & visuals for your BANG!ing pleasure' and will begin giving you some cheap booze specials!
We will use these as ways to stay in touch with you between parties, and give you treats & teasers all the time! This will also allow us to inform you of important things you *will* want to know as you polish your dancing shoes for the next Go BANG!
Thank you, ALL OF YOU! Thank you for reaching out from all across the country expressing your support of Go BANG!. Thank you to those who could not come for also supporting us and telling your friends about us! Most importantly, thanks to all of you who came out Saturday and made the party the true EVENT, the MOVEMENT that we are building together...just for you!
From all of us: Eddy Bauer (KALX / Missouri Lounge) Flight (Gotsoul / Sweater Funk) Nicky B. (Gemini Disco) Sergio (KALX / Sweater Funk) Stanley (Chilidog!) Stephen !YOU GUYS! (our lovely door bunny) Thank you! And, of course...Go BANG!

Happy New Year, my friends! It's my hope that this year will bring much-needed change & hope to the country & your lives. I'm looking forward to January 20, and a new President!
Change is also happening in my world. Let's see:
-A new Happy Hour Wednesdays at Triple Crown later this month with the lovely Alona! Thanks for coming to our prior Happy Hour - this one'll be EVEN BETTER!
-I'm phasing out my MySpace page. No more of that Fox-controlled, Conservative Right, Yes on 8 MySpace for me! Now I'm off to the feature-rich, user-friendly Facebook! Make me your friend! I KNOW, it seems like a lot of information and it is, but I spent a weekend adjusting the settings and once you get it to your liking, it really is much better than clunky MySpace.
-Soon I'll be setting up a blog and revamping my Website & bio...so look out!
-But especially exciting me & my friend's upcoming Go BANG! party! For more details, mixes from the last party, pictures from the last party, and more, make Go BANG! your friend on MySpace BUT ESPECIALLY ON FaceBook!
San Francisco has a diverse disco scene that often crosses over but not often enough! The goal of Go BANG! is to bring the crews and their devoted dancers together in a mixed, diverse, exciting environment, with a nod to the diversity and freedom of the 70's/80's New York/Chicago/San Francisco disco nightlife!
OK! Awesome! Please come! We want to make this party a success for YOU!
