Kevin Aviance on Nasty Pig's 30th Anniversary

Nasty Pig is not interested in subtlety. From its founding in 1994, owners David Lauterstein and Frederick Kearney have been all about being shame-free in their celebration of gay sex positivity.caught up with Lauterstein and Aviance to hear about their three-decades-long relationship.

There was a small group of us, as you know, who were defiant against that. And Nasty Pig really wanted to reclaim that crossroads between queer identity and sexual positivity. We were wildly unpopular for a long time for doing so, but we weren't about blending in.You have to understand, David is such a visionary. He was always writing, always thinking about the future, what he had to do. We even did music together. So he was thinking about the whole project from the beginning.

I was really drawn to them and it got to the point that I was at that store every day. They lived in Chelsea. I lived in Chelsea, too. So it was just the right place, right time. They're part of my DNA.We would leave Sound Factory and walk to the store and open her on Sunday and just continue to carry.Sound Factory was such a magical place. It's just amazing how much stuff came out of there.
