Cut and Paste Rock and Roll is a grassroots night of celebration and recognition of queer musicians, artists and
community organizations within the Los Angeles area. Based in Long Beach, CA founder Annie Parkhurst first
organized this event in response to the queer movements happening in larger cities like San Francisco "Long
Beach and LA need to hear our local queer voices" Parkhurst said "and the queer people of social need a place to
call their own, something different than the mainstream gay events." CPRR is an all ages event and the funds
raised go towards the Queer Youth Scholarship supporting young LGBTQQIA students who are passionate about
art and the queer community.

Queers and allies from all over Long Beach, Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Diego, Bakersfield and
beyond gather together to be apart of this event each time. The queer performers range from indie bands to
spoken text and art is displayed on the walls, table tops...and people! You'll find crafts on every table allowing
every attendee to make their own queer art all night for free. At every CPRR local artists, bands, companies and
other groups pitch in to the Queer Survival Kits given to each attendee. These bags are hand decorated by local
queers and in the past have included treats from: Condom Rev, Blackheart Records, Daisy Rock Guitars, Queer
Control Records, The New Gay and The Trevor Project just to name a few.
