356 Mission Gallery hosted the closing of the Seth Bogart Show this weekend in Los Angeles. There were wild performances from "celebrity imposters" (featuring the likes of Madonna and Grace Jones) and Bogart's band Hunx and His Punx. Photographs by Keely Shinners
Seth Bogart is most well known for being the lead singer of the incredible gay punk band Hunx and His Punx (buy every single album here), but Bogart is also a visual genius on top of being a musical genius. His new show, which looks more like the set of Pee Wee's Playhouse if Pee Wee really was a pervert, entitled The Seth Bogart Show, is a must see installation that is on view now at the 356 Mission Gallery in Los Angeles. Pictured above, Bogart poses in his "plastic look" that takes over 2 hours to squeeze into. Photographs by Suzy Poling

Official Hunx video for "Lovers Lane," release a couple days ago, off of their first album Too Young To Be In Love LP released last march. "Too Young To Be In Love is the first fully-realized Hunx and His Punx album, and the group’s first for the Hardly Art record label. It was recorded in New York City by Ivan Julian—one of the founding members of inimitable NYC punk legends Richard Hell and the Voidoids. This record was made in the same studio that one of Hunx's idols, Ronnie Spector, once recorded in. While it is preceded by the Gay Singles LP (True Panther Sounds/Matador Records, 2009), a collection of hard-to-find and out-of-print 7” singles, Too Young To Be In Love is the first proper studio record from Hunx and His Punx.
