Why a
Nipple Party? "Because everybody's got two," says host
Xela, one of the few masters-of-ceremony who could assemble such an eclectic happening. A multimedia festival of rock and art, this double-decker bash spills over both floors of the Grog Shop. Xela's
3io rock band headlines an upstairs rock show with jam band
Caribou Foot and rock-country cowboys
the Jack Fords. And downstairs at the B-Side Liquor lounge, members of arts collective the
Scribe Tribe are representing, including DJ
Se7en, poet
Carla Thompson, hip-hop group
Dark Starz, and old-school graff titan
Sano (pictured). It's not a party -- it's a carnival.
