Shane Risk to Debut Live Wednesday at Here Lounge’s ‘Garage’

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—The weekly “Garage” event at Here Lounge will welcome back an old friend and debut a new star-hopeful Wednesday night.

Former host Jason Sechrest (JasonCurious.com) will take over emcee duties while headliner Shane Risk performs his first live act on the stage. GAYVN Hall of Fame member and Channel 1 Releasing co-founder Chi Chi LaRue will do DJ honors.

Critics are calling Risk the “breakout star” of LaRue’s latest DVD release, Taken: To the Lowest Level. Represented by Sechrest’s DV8 Casting, he recently was named among Cybersocket Magazine’s “Top 50 [Gay] Porn Stars.”

Also expected to be among the entertainers are Bobby Clark, Luke Marcum and Dayton O’Connor, in addition to 12 Here Lounge go-go boys. Sechrest and LaRue intend to give away adult DVDs and other goodies.

“The crowd [at Here] goes freakin’ bonkers when you throw out gay porn DVDs,” Sechrest said. “It’s like a stampede, seriously. I have missed that energy and am really looking forward to throwing one helluva party this Wednesday night.”

The party, organized by West Hollywood promoter Paul Nicholls and Emmy Award-nominated producer Woody Woodbeck, runs from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Performers take to the stage at midnight. A “Hot Body Contest” will offer one patron a chance to win $100, and a camera crew from the Oxygen network’s “The Bar Girls Club” is expected to capture some of the action for broadcast on the show.
