HARD FRENCH WINTER BALL 2013: ¡SACAMELO! from Dirtyglitter on Vimeo.

Hey Bay Area! June is LGBT Pride Month and in San Francisco that means it's time to party! Amoeba Music is a proud Pride sponsor of Hard French Hearts Los Homos Pride 2012 on Sunday, June 24th at the SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco. This year's celebration is an inter-generational extravaganza that pays homage to soul music and ushers in a new era of queer performance.

Featured on the main stage will be Bay Area's living  soul and rhythm legend Sugar Pie DeSanto, indie Queer electric darling magic weirdo SSION, and bounce magician BeyondaDoubt!

Throughout the day, groove to sets by some of the hottest queer DJ’s and parties from San Francisco and up and down the west coast. And plan on all the regular Hard French fixings like sweating it out to hours upon hours of your favorite 45s from our house DJs  Brown Amy and Carnita, smoking-hot dance moves from the Jiggalicious Dance Babes and Magic Capturing by notorious Photo Booth, which will be benefiting a local queer non-profit.
