Kendra Sheetz Pride Month is right around the corner, and while multinational corporations are beginning to clean eleven months’ worth of dust off of their rainbow logos, Bay Area band Middle-Aged Queers is dropping a new track. “This Song Is Sponsored By Absolut Vodka,” offers a sardonic critique of the commercialization of LGBTQ+ Pride Month. The single was originally released on a benefit vinyl compilation, Punk Rock Saves Lives…the Album! Vol. II.
This release kicks off a string of tour dates for Middle-Aged Queers, culminating in their first-ever string of — mostly all-ages — shows in the Pacific Northwest. Along the way they’ll open for punk-soul legends the BellRays at an Oakland venue recently overhauled by art film icon John Waters, play Seattle’s storied all-ages venue the Vera Project, and share the stage for Christian punks Ninety Pound Wuss’s first appearance in 23 years.
