Fruitbat

12 listings in 5 named rooms, over the last three years

Hailing from Boston and emerging from NYC's underground, Fruitbat haunts foggy dancefloors with sounds of flamboyant synth, EBM and hard hitting industrial. He is the organizer of the monthly goth and dark dance night Sissies of Mercy. With his monthly party, his goal is to create a haven for queers, freaks and anyone else who dares to lurk in the shadows. Being an enjoyer of all things campy and 80's, you can expect Fruitbat's sets to be just as silly as they are serious. He is no stranger to having fun. and will absolutely let everyone else in the crowd know that they can too. Fruitbat's sets takes dancers on a trip through eccentric synthpop to the darkest of wave, industrial and dark dungeon sounds. Through this trip, one can find themself going from singing along to goth classics, sandwiched between moshing and thrashing to hard, dark dance delicacies.

Fruitbat hopes to continue making spaces where trans people can be their true authentic selves on the dancefloor. Especially since the world is limiting trans people's rights more and more every day.

Once each: Paragon, SILO and Market Hotel. One of the 12 listings never named a room, and is not counted as one.

Who they play with

Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
