DOSTUFF PRESENTS:

NEW ALBUM ALERT: BLACK METEORIC STAR’S WET

For the freaks: DoStuffer Abhijeet Rane sits down with Gavilán Rayna Russom to dig into WET, the new album celebrating 20 years of Black Meteoric Star. They get into the queer S/M culture and dance floors behind the project, Russom’s life in electronic music, and, because this is Gay DoLA, the sexiest X-Men in existence.
