Much has happened since Hunx played Seattle during Gay Pride 2009, when he won all the hearts of the gays at the Wildrose, then all the hearts of the straights at the Funhouse (when he let Nobunny pee on his leg). Hunx has since recorded a full-length, Too Young to Be in Love, won hearts at SXSW, and received critic boners from NME, Pitchfork, and FADER. But has the success gone to the crooner punx’s head? No chance. Hunx is still the Edith Massey in a sea of Katy Perrys—the gayest punk rocker the world has ever seen. (Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave, 441-4618, 8 pm, $10, 21+)
