This week we spoke with Ángel Vilda of Brain&Beast – one of the Spain’s most contemporary and queer labels – about his obsession with..obsession, how he feels like a daddy to the fashion kids of Barcelona and how Brain&Beast is really an extension of his real-life family with César Olivar, Ezequiel Carril and a lot of dogs… […]

“This has been the funnest interview I have had in years. You haven’t asked me hard political questions once!” Mashrou’ Leila’s Hamed Sinno. Mashrou’ Leila is Loverboy’s favourite band in the world right now. The Lebanese foursome write/produce/perform songs that have been controversial enough to see concert-goers arrested in Cairo and the group banned from Jordan…twice. […]

’Slap on the big tits, big hair and make up that’s been applied with a donkey’s dick.’ This was Róisín Murphy‘s response to Loverboy’s opening pitch. Then, after emailing Detox, we received a ‘YES!’ less than two minutes later. Perhaps the fastest response of all time. For Loverboy, this project has been a dream pairing. One […]

The best things about another RPDR All Stars is the return of some of our most cherished queens. Case in point: Naomi Smalls. And Miss Naomi ain’t even waiting till her exit to drop something – no, she’s releasing her new single ‘Pose’ later today!!  What is the history of Naomi Smalls? When I turned […]

When Loverboy first moved to Barcelona, it didn’t take us long to figure out which people were going to be added to our wishlist. The first time Eduardo Navarrete cropped up on our radar was when he appeared on the Spanish, reality, fashion show Maestros De La Costura – think Project Runway but…in Spanish. Then […]

Some interviews are years in the making. And others take nine months and twenty-eight days – as is he case with Kiddy Smile, who we first started speaking to in January! But in a year that has seen him release his debut album, One Trick Pony, along with accompanying singles and then go on to […]

Now last time Loverboy hung out with Hunter Harden, he was living the American dream, swigging his Blue Ribbon while wearing just his red, white and blue tube socks. Total masc-4-masc patriotism. What a different twelve, ok thirteen, months can make. Having spent the afternoon with photographer Thomas Evans, Hunter embraced his inner butch-queen for […]

Here at Loverboy we’re big, big fans of camp, catfights and costumes that use every colour on the palette – surprising to hear, we know. 😉 We adore the original 80s soaps like Dynasty, Dallas, The Colbys, Falcon Crest etc. When we heard a couple of years ago that Dynasty was being rebooted we crossed […]

When Ugly Betty first came out, it should have been our show. Based in the world of fashion, it starred our favourite ex-Miss America and featured a bunch of relatable LGBT role models….tens across the board, right? Sadly for us, the year was 2006, and Loverboy was still locked up in the closet. So, along with […]
