But when Queers, Beers and Rears ends its five-year run with a blowout anniversary\/finale party on February 4, it will leave a big, gaping hole in the gay party scene. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/100465526743348\/\">QxBxRx<\/a>, as it\u2019s been affectionately known since launching at Cyn Lounge in 2007, was one of the few gay parties where you could hear live music, and possibly the only gay party left in New York that kept alive the DIY ethos of the punk rock scene. QxBxRx resident DJs Sir Loins, A. Martini and Go-Karff have played host to a diverse array of bands, from Pansy Division to Hey Will Power; from new projects by rock legends like Theo Kogan and Miss Guy to brand-new acts like Sick Cell and Little Victory.
