Sex Cells and We’re Buying- somewhere south of Hollywood Blvd
Danny Baraz
May 7, 2025
Somewhere in the heart of Hollywood on Wilcox, in a club/venue I have never entered before, Sex Cells re-emerged from it’s hiatus hole, to return to us a provocative buffet of fetish culture, avant-garde/smutty art, and self-expression. Out of the birth canal of Danny Fuentes, the L.A raised freak show turned ambassador and the individual behind Lethal Amounts gallery (but not in the alley). Sex Cells transcends traditional club nights, offering a haven for those who revel in the unconventional but fiercely protective against any potential spectators looking for a freak show or a glimpse of t&a+D. Danny Fuentes: the PT Barnum of rare humans but unlike that circus, exploitation is consensual. Lethal Amounts has long been a stalwart advocate for counterculture. If Lethal Amounts had any over arching theme, it would be that. Fuentes has curated exhibitions that delve into once taboo subjects in the mainstream- satanic rituals and serial killers and of course, forwarding and celebrating all the divine, aesthetic and historical culture that has brought the queer community to it’s current paradigm all across the world . This is our vanilla. His commitment to showcasing the extremes of human experience is evident in the gallery’s diverse array of artists,

Whether we’re aware of it or not, we as people are constantly choosing who we want to represent us. I’m not talking about politics but life in general, we use our dollars to vote and elect people we see part of ourselves in, to be public symbols for us. Since the inception of Lethal Amounts and its flag ship nocturnal gathering, Sex Cells, it has been widely popular and prosperous and thus, its leader Danny Fuentes has become a representative for artists, punks, homosexuals, freaks, and party monsters all over Los Angeles. related content: Sex Cells’ Divine Ball At El Rey: The Filthiest People Alive So when the spiritual leader of this church of filth falls in love, we see part of ourselves falling in love. We see that it’s possible for us, like when the lead character finally gets the girl at the end of a film. This film that we saw a part of at Sex Cells 2 year anniversary is simply the history of punk in Los Angeles. At the Globe Theatre on February 15th 2019, Danny Fuentes proposed to Matthew Pernicano on stage in the middle of Marc Almond‘s set. related content: OC’s Alright If You

PRAYERS and Candy Prove That Sex Cells at Echoplex

Sex Cells: The New Monthly Gathering From Lethal Amounts Lethal Amounts hosted what is becoming the baddest dance club night in L.A. this past Saturday. The Echoplex was brimming with activity- Party crews, fashionistas, fetishists and disco dollies came from all over California and abroad to show off their fashion sense, attitudes and dance moves at the new monthly residency, Sex Cells. Anyone who has attended a Lethal Amounts party knows that they are in for a good time. What helps set Danny Fuentes of Lethal Amounts Art Gallery apart from other promoters is that he doesn’t identify as one. First and foremost, Fuentes is a curator and gallery owner and thus, takes a completely organic approach when organizing an event. In doing so, his parties have an air of exclusivity that doesn’t come off as snobby and it attracts the kind of people he would consider good company. I had a chance to chat with him which led to a better understanding of his vision. “I throw myself into everything I do. I always ask myself first, ‘Would I like this? Would I go to this? Would I be impressed?’ If the answer is ‘maybe’ then it’s not good enough.
