The Menergy House Rules - as devised by Kid Zipper - clearly state:
PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE AVANT-GARDE
1. Members of the House of Menergy ("the House") and associated entities must strive for the Avant-Garde in all respects of their lives, including but not limited to;
1.1 Art
1.2 Fashion
1.3 Music
1.4 Gastronomy
1.5 Design
1.6 Personal grooming
2. Members of the House failing to strive for the Avant-Garde shall be subject to immediate disciplinary procedures under Munter Directive Procedure Number 1, the provisions of which are referred to for their terms and incorporated here in brevitatis causa.
3. For the avoidance of doubt, the provision of the House Rules relating to the Avant-Garde are of the essence of the contract between the House Members and the House and all House priviliges and benefits, including healthcare and personal protection, shall be revoked pending the outcome of all investigations under Munter Directive Procedure Number 1.
THE HAUS OF MENERGY
THE FOUNDERS
Haus Mother-Monster LADY MUNTER
One of THE fiercest drag queens ever to come out of Glasgow, Lady M is also the brains behind past events like Fierce Ruling Divas Ball and Valley Of The Dolls. Attitude magazine recently ranked her as one of the 66 most influential gay people in the UK, alongside the likes of Mary Portas and Nichola Formichetti (stylist to Lady Gaga).
Haus Father DJ KID ZIPPER
The musical brains behind Menergy, KZ is a very talented dj whose blend of gay disco, modern techno, and classic Italo and Hi-NRG have come to define the Menergy sound. His mixes have proved very popular on the blogosphere!
THE MUSIC MAKER
Haus Father DJ THE NIALLIST
The Niallist is a renowned figure on the Glasgow clubbing scene, and has performed at nights like Optimo, Death Disco, Melting Pot and Men and Machines. After glowing reviews for his latest single "I Came" (on Little Rock Records) he made it onto the cover of London's BOYZ Magazine earlier this year.
THE HOSTESS WITH THAT SOMETHING EXTRA
Haus Sister and Co-Host VANITY von GLOW
One of the brightest stars in the UK's drag firmament, Vanity has been hosting weekly karaoke competitions in Glasgow for a while now, under the name "Don't Fuck Up The Lyrics!". A truly all round talent (she can sing AND play!) she has been ranked as the 15th most viewed female comedienne on Youtube, and recently made it onto the cover of ScotsGay Magazine.
Stage Manager
MOYA
A mental health professional by day, these skills have really come in handy when dealing with some of the audience and artists at Menergy!
RESIDENT QUEENS
Haus Door Whores & Disco Pitpulls PEACHES & GAZELLE
Some of the very first punters we ever had in drag, Peaches and Gazelle have worked their way up through the ranks to become our door queens - entry may be free for drag queens to Menergy, but first you gotta prove yourself to these bitches!
THE VISUALS
In-Haus Graphic Designer GREGOR LAIRD
The design guru behind the look of Menergy, we have Gregor to thank for our wonderful flyers (including the Butt and Patrick Cowley hommage you see behind this). He is in high demand right now, and if you want to see more of his work, visit Mutate Design.
Haus VJ JOE CROGAN
Joe Crogan is quickly earning himself a rep as one of the best VJs and suppliers of eyeball candy for clubs and dance musicians in Glasgow. After cutting his teeth working for DJ Hushpuppy's Record Playerz night he now works with Glasgow's Italo godheads Den Haan. So you can see why we chose him!
Haus Photographer MICHAEL JAMES
An incredibly talented photographer, Michael James (aka Alephnaught) provides some of the best club photos in the business. He has had his work shown in galleries all over the country, and was recenlty interviewed by Folio14.
THE SUPPORT STAFF
PR Staff SUZY
An up and coming Faux Queen, Suzy can always be counted on to come through with crazy eye make-up, a big factor in her success as a PR person!
Go-Go Dancer ALI
It's easy to spot Ali as he is ALWAYS the first person on the floor at Menergy, and ALWAYS the last person to leave - though he has been getting a run for his money with some of the Art School punters...
Hat Check Girl TINA BORTION
The newest addition to the MENERGY line-up, TINA BORTION is our resident faux-queen (she actually HAS a cunt) and was responsible for 2011's TRANNYNITE at the Art School, which was the best in years!
