Very Pride is crossing coasts for the first time ever — and we’re landing loud. From the streets of Chicago to the coast of California, we’re bringing queer joy, deep grooves, and the magic of chosen family to Wicked West SD. Friday, July 18 Wicked West SD 6 p.m. – 1:30 a.m. This isn’t your average Pride party. This is house music heaven, queer excellence, and full-on summer energy rolled into one unforgettable night. Lineup: DERRICK CARTER One of the founding fathers of Chicago house, Derrick needs no introduction—but we’ll give him one anyway. His sets are legendary: funky, fearless, and filled with pure soul. From underground basements to international stages, he keeps dancefloors locked in the groove and lifted by joy. This is a rare West Coast appearance — don’t miss it. KARSTEN SOLLORS Commanding, hypnotic, and undeniably sexy. Karsten’s sound is equal parts underground heat and refined energy — a slow build to euphoria with every set. He knows how to move a room and create space for bodies to release, connect, and transcend. ALEXIS TUCCI A walking disco ball and high priestess of funk. Alexis blends classic house, deep grooves, and glitter-drenched energy in a way that feels like a spiritual release. Expect to twirl, sweat, and maybe cry. If liberation had a soundtrack, she’d be spinning it. NIC JERICHO Moody, percussive, and intensely emotional. Nic curates soundscapes that feel cinematic—pulling you into a darker, richer frequency of house. Think basement rave meets art film. Deep feels, no filler. Hosted by: Khloe Couleé · Miss Toto · Brenna Jordan · Matt Palmer · Chichi Fuera · Maddy Mokes · Stephen Clarke Come early, stay late, and bring your look. The first West Coast edition of Very Pride is a moment — and you’re invited. VeryPride on Instagram

The Zzymzzy Quartet makes their long awaited return to Golden Island Dim Sum & Asian Cuisine for the 216th show of Dim Sum & Jazz! Seating Begins at 6 p.m. Music from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Call (858) 578-8800 for reservations! Check this video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4YZABw53FM About The Zzymzzy Quartet Rhymes with ‘Whimsy’ The guys from the Zzymzzy Quartet have simple ambitions: they just want to play it like it was when it was unamplified, melodic, swinging, dreamy, full of sly surprise. From the Prohibition through the Second Big War, the glory days of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington are being recaptured humbly and with humor in San Diego by four musicians who know it don’t mean a thing without that swing: Beston Barnett - Guitar, Vocals Pete Miesner - Guitar, Lead Vocals Matt Gill - Clarinet Paul Hormick - Upright Bass The Zzymzzy Quartet takes its name from a hypothetical “last word” in the dictionary: thus, their tagline, “The Last Word in Gypsy Swing.” The “Gypsy” sound is heard in much of the guitar work, heavily influenced by the stylings of French Gypsy jazz legend Django Reinhardt, but the group also pays tribute to the Swing Era with classic standards and idiomatic originals. Since the Zzymzzy Quartet came together in 2004, they’ve played dances, parties, weddings, festivals, art openings, and events throughout Southern California to unanimous enthusiasm, carving out a name for themselves as a tasty dance band and a classy addition to every wedding. In 2017, ART HURTS Records released their second CD, "Petite Fleur" which, on top of inspired playing and elegant arrangements, features cameos from a variety of beloved San Diego musicians.
