According to Jeff Johnson, Entertainment Chair of Folsom Street Events, “Folsom Street Fair is an incomparable event for the worldwide leather community. We are extremely excited to showcase such famous artists as My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult and Blowoff, with celebrated alt-rocker Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü.” Demetri Moshoyannis, Executive Director, said “The focus on our live acts promises to draw a wider cross-section of the adult alternative lifestyle community to the Fair. Personally, I can’t wait to see Logan Lynn, The May Fire, Unknown Boy, and The Presets.” My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult and The Presets are finalizing a full gig for the next night (Monday, September 25TH) at The Independent.
