On the evening of Sunday, February 14th, UCSB's Queer Art Collective, KCSB-FM 91.9, & La Familia de Colores are elated to present: 

NO BODY HOLY - A Good Old But New Celebration of Queer Bodies, Outsider, No Bodies, or Just Any Body! 

Featuring '50's-style Rock 'N' Roll by garage-rock trio Shannon & the Clams (Oakland, CA); El Vez, The Mexican Elvis (San Diego); and nostalgic folk 'n' roll by Oree & the Doo Not Worries (Israeli-born artist & event curator Oree Holban, keyboardist & UCSB student Gabe Poissant, & harpist Simone Salmón). 

This retro Sock Hop / prom at UCSB's Robertson Gym will be a crossover event bringing together our local queer community with the broader public. "Do the Twist" & celebrate gender diversity. NO BODY HOLY will reclaim the High School Prom experience for those who felt that Prom was not quite for them -- the boys who wanted to wear dresses & the girls who wanted to put on suits, or any body else who wanted to wear/be whatever. 

Rob Gym is a classic setting for this Valentine's Day Party with decorations, DJs, "Shirley Temples," & cupcakes. For All Free Spirits!

Doors open at 7:30pm! To guarantee admission claim your free tickets at UCSB's Associated Students Ticket Office (limit two per person).
