The Cancer Fags

"electronically debauched"

About Me

As a great man once reminded us: "It's not easy having a good time these days."

But there are those who would do what is necessary, toiling endlessly in the pleasure mines till the grey times are through.

Such are The Cancer Fags' DJ Corban Lester - the most eligible bachelor in the post-romantic underground of Portland, OR.

Mssr. Lester is a celebrated producer, music journalist, and promotional warlord.

Corban brings home the music, and various other performers draw from a headfull of urban fairytales to complete new pieces in the moment of performance, at least half improvisational, while the pretty kids dance and stare. Only the venues have changed, as our hero has progressed to larger clubs, tours, and festivals. Sharing the stage with peers from The Prids to Felix da Housecat and back again, The Cancer Fags have never faltered on their evangelical mission of suavity.

Who wants to be next to see the light?

SODA

I heard that SODA was listed on KNRK's concert calendar last week. They called The Cancer Fags "the most original band name" of the night or whatever. lol
