Confusion Is Sex @ Bongo Club, 16 April

Confused and sexy.

Article by Gareth K Vile | 03 Apr 2010

Confusion is Sex began a year ago, with Gamma Ray Dali's vision of a club where the freaky is the norm. Hosted by The Freaky Brides, featuring tough electronic sounds from Europe and the heady sensuality of pole-dancing Kamikaze Girls, CiS plunges the glamour of neo-burlesque into the sweaty intensity of Berlin techno. Converting the Bongo Club into something between an art installation and an underground rave, Gamma Ray's creation is unique, sexy and immersive.

To celebrate its first birthday, CiS has discovered a new absurdist dance duo – The Muffs – who take the stage alongside Wild Card Kitty and The Brides. Add in Dolby Anol and Berlin's Platzblanche, the upstairs room of rockabilly and old school punk with decor by The Lynch Mob and Confusion's hectic mix heads for the next level.

Gamma Ray's concept has encouraged the crowds to compete with The Freaky Brides, to dress up, with vintage outfits jostling alongside fancy dress, and outrageous costumes. Even after a year, there is nothing quite like Confusion is Sex anywhere else in Scotland. [Gareth K. Vile]
