no warmups: announcement

Because of our strong community effort, we were able to raise a total of ₱251,385.65 throughout our two-month long tour. However, due to bureaucratic immigration issues, we cannot travel and perform at this year's Pop-Kultur. Furthermore, one of us had a health emergency and is now recuperating in the hospital. Fret not! Our tour is far from over, and we plan to continue our travel to Berlin in the near future to spread our music and ideals.

As part of our community Elephant, we are offering you a chance to reallocate donations for our queer brothers and sisters. Please message us if:

you want a refund of your donation

you want us to keep your donation so we can continue our tour next year for Pop-Kultur 2024

you choose to reallocate your donation to help with Alexa Dignos' hospital bills

you choose to reallocate your donation to help Pura Luka Vega, who was sued for their drag performance last Pride

The system is not for us, so we must persevere together. This is precisely what our DIY and anti-establishment ethos is about, and we now hold on to it more strongly. We would like to thank all venue owners, nightlife workers, promoters, and especially you for all the support. We want to keep this spirit of camaraderie alive in everything we do. Thank you for doing this with us. ❤️

warmth and strength,

xoxo

We are T33G33, Dignos, and Hideki Ito, resident DJs of ELEPHANT. Welcome to the fundraiser portal for our No Warm Ups Tour.

Recently, we got chosen to participate in Pop-Kultur festival in August-September 2023 in Berlin, among 250 other artists and creatives from all over the world who will gather for 3 days of concerts, workshops, and discussions featuring global musical legends.

To enable us to travel, we are currently appealing for institutional support, but living where we are only provides us with limited opportunities as artists. And so to raise funds for our travel and living expenses in Berlin, we created this page to gather our family, friends, and supporters. As we are threads from the fabric of the queer creative community, we thrive in the support that party-goers give us, as well as in the safe space that we all create, and that's why we are turning to a community-powered approach.

The three of us are also looking out for gigs to perform in Berlin (as well as new artists we can meet!), preferably in queer-dominant spaces. So any amount you can give would be a big help, and any extra proceeds from our tour will go to Elephant and any grassroots efforts in building and maintaining artist communities in Manila.

We have started a tour around Manila to boost our fundraising. We want to thank all the club owners, workers, and promoters who are always open to collaborating with us. As creatures of the nightlife, we can only try to uplift each other. And so we thank especially you in advance for your support.

With love, see you on the dancefloor,

Xoxo
