San Francisco has a diverse disco scene that often crosses over but not often enough! The goal of Go BANG! is to bring the crews and their devoted dancers together in a mixed, diverse, exciting environment, with a nod to the diversity and freedom of the 70's/80's San Francisco/New York/Chicago disco nightlife!

Disco freaks, art school boys & girls, drag queens & kings, boogie-heads, fierce dancers, flashy dressers, sexy girls, hot boys, DJs, dancers, photographers, artists, fashionistas; gay/straight/bi/tri/whateva! Bring your flashiest, trashiest, classiest, sexiest, craziest style; but bring an open mind, big smile, and shoes that will allow you to dance from opening to last call! We will start with fire and end with fire!

Taking inspiration from the classic Dinosaur L. song, "Go BANG!": http://soundcloud.com/synthetigers/dinosaur-l-go-bang-the
"I wanna see all my friends at once
I'll do anything to get a chance to
Goooo BANG!"

Allen Craig began DJing in 1991 at the house parties of UC Berkeley, spinning a mix of disco and the hardcore rave music popular at the time. It was inevitable that he fell in love with the deep house music that dominated the early 90's gay underground scene. He followed deep house into the burgeoning late 90's rave scene where, in 1999, he met DJ and promoter Homero Espinosa and, after a couple of years producing music together, they founded Yerba Buena Discos in 1992 as an outlet for their tracks. Yerba Buena Discos quickly made a name for itself with its quality underground house music, with Allen's quirky, trend-bucking 90's-style productions playing alongside more standard Chicago-style jackin' house. As time passed, Yerba Buena Discos changed to a more eclectic style, allowing Allen to return fully to his early 90's underground roots, embracing a style that is simultaneously retro and thoroughly modern. In the meantime, he has been working alongside Go BANG's Sergio Fedasz, re-editing and modernizing classic disco songs for new-century audiences as The SyntheTigers!
