Witnessing a performance by Christeene is a bit like taking acid and stepping into a fighter jet. She is not for the moderate.

The Austin-based drag queen, performance artist, and rapper is booked to perform in Seattle on Saint Patrick’s Day. Clock-Out Lounge, a brand-new Beacon Hill live-music venue helmed by former Chop Suey talent buyer Jodi Ecklund and ex-Showbox general manager Denise Burnside, is bringing the Texas “drag terrorist” to the Emerald City for Clock-Out’s inaugural performance.

You read that correctly: Beacon Hill is getting a new live-music venue/bar/restaurant. It opens this week. It will serve Chicago pan-style deep-dish pizza.
