Scope and Contents

Established in 1982 in Las Vegas, the queer Satyricon Motorcycle Club hosted an annual run they called Hell on Heels, which was attended by queer motorcycle clubs from throughout the Western United States. Celebrated over two or three days, the run included a fundraising stage production featuring musical numbers and lip-synched drag performances by club members. This video records the 9th annual Hell on Heels stage production, titled, Ankles Aweigh, which includes Las Vegas lesbian activist and Satyricons member Lisa Hernandez. This version includes an advertising introduction. See "Ankles Aweigh: A Satyricon Show" [Las Vegas Bugle, April 1990, 1].[00:00:00 - 02:03:19]
