What do drag queens doing aerial tricks, leather Sirs and their boys sitting on the sidelines, dancing queens taking the floor, cute girls in flowing dresses, and strong muscled men strutting their stuff have in common?

They are all MACHO!

MACHO is a group of people trying to bring unity to a divided community through the universal language of music. They have been creating events for the LGBTQ community for the last two years. They noticed that the  community was lacking one very important thing: Unity. As a community, we have segregated ourselves into bears, leather, twinks, lesbians, the list goes on. Macho events have managed to bring all those groups together in a night of dancing and camaraderie.

Through this great event, they are involved with the community through partnerships with Howard Brown Health Center, giving out HIV/Prep information and safe sex information with condoms. At their upcoming Memorial Day event, they will be donating a portion of the proceeds to community charities.

The doors open on the MACHO Events’ Annual Dance Party at 9pm on Friday, May 27th at the Bottom Lounge, 1375 W Lake St, Chicago, IL. Ticket prices are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at http://bit.do/MACHO. A portion of each ticket will go to benefit the Howard Brown Health Center and The Leather Archives & Museum.

Returning is resident DJ Dennis Murray. New to Macho is the talented Vic Santiago. Headlining the event, in his return to Chicago, is Producer/DJ Jose “Spinnin” Cortes from Guadalajara, Mexico.

MACHO welcomes back resident dancers TeaJay & Justin and is proud to introduce “PocketCub” to the roster. Their line up is completed by J-Mo Bear (of Tumblr and Youtube fame). All the dancers will be wearing BEARSKN Underwear.

It’s going to be a energy filled night with awesome djs, sexy dancers, multi video screens, mind blowing visuals and lighting along with live streaming broadcasts on Nexus Radio and Pure EDM. They are excited for this year and look forward to seeing everybody there.
