Sorry, Ariana, There’s More to Gay Music Than Pop

Mike Servito and Kim Ann Foxman lead your New York Pride alternatives.

It's the last weekend in June and that means the last weekend you can (officially) celebrate Pride Month (and there's a lot to celebrate this year). But if you're looking for your official Pride events to provide you with the best music, think again. Pop music of the B-list variety rules official Pride celebrations as a rule. Case in point: earlier this month, Ke$ha headlined the Los Angeles Pride fest in West Hollywood and this weekend, Ariana Grande will do the honors at New York's Pride celebrations. No offense to these ladies, but there's better dancing to be had elsewhere.
