Hello Dick Day! So straight off the bat, I want to know what made you enter The Gold Rush? Hello! I entered ‘The Gold Rush’ as I needed a boost and a new challenge in my drag journey. I was feeling a bit under motivated with the amount of opportunities I had going for me in Brighton. I figured it was a good move to have a whack at […]
We’ve all been there. That relationship that ended but takes you forever to get over. Those feelings of holding on to… something… tearing at you. You know what you should logically do but those feelings get the better of you. It’s a frequent topic of song lyrics but for good reason. It’s frikking hard to […]
GUTTFULL are a fierce, fun, feisty, ferocious and fucking wonderful queercore band from London and their new EP #NOTALLMEN will bring their kickass punk anthems directly into your ears. Loverboy’s Fallon Gold caught up with Moe Tasker (vocals), Cassie Fox (guitar), Gemma Gompertz (bass), Phil Whaite (sax), and Louis Richardson (drums) to talk all things […]
London’s queercore scene is on fire right now and Loverboy’s Fallon Gold spoke to some of the multifarious lovelies involved to get the lowdown on the lofi world of pink punk. Although the city has seen the decimation of its gay venues, along with Dalston’s prime punk music venue Power Lunches, the DIY ethic of […]
Queer music (and queer culture, generally) is having a renaissance right now but we also have a rich and diverse history, some of it obscure and hidden… until now. For the glorious Martin Aston has written the definitive social history of LGBTQ music, Breaking Down The Walls Of Heartache: How Music Came Out. Loverboy’s Fallon […]
Part of the glory of the current DIY punk scene is that it encourages and fosters musical expression and experimentation in place of the usual competitiveness and rivalry between bands. An example of this is the First Timers event at DIY Space London, created to combat the lack of diversity in the scene and where […]
Electro-pop band POLSKY have been on the Loverboy radar for some time and we’ve been eagerly awaiting their debut album. We need wait no more. Subtitled ‘A Manifesto For Modern Life’, POLSKY’s My Own Company is ‘a musical corporate identity for the modern day’. And one of the best albums we’ve heard in a long […]
Loverboy loves a tribute band. The classic, the cheesy, and the subversive: they bring a very particular kitsch joy to music. When we heard that there was an upcoming London gig featuring The Misters Of Circe – in tribute to The Sisters Of Mercy – on a bill along with the gloriously named Kenickers, Loverboy’s […]
When Loverboy’s Fallon Gold first heard about queer music night Camposphere, illustrated by Barbarella and winged unicorns, she thought they’d plucked this concept right out of her soul through her brain. A night of LGBTQIA+ music celebrating camp? We’re in. And with the tagline ‘Camp Was Never Over’, we couldn’t agree more with the ethos […]
