Teamy: Hi-NRG Mix

Glasgow scene legend and non-stop party whore Teamy is soon to be gracing our ones and twos. He even promised to do it in drag. As a taster, here's a Hi-NRG mix he made for his club night Fun Size with with Glasgow's No. 1 (straight) disco bear David Barbarosa.

[No tracklist for this, but it does contain Patrick Cowley AND Sylvester - yum!]

Paris Is Burning

Another one of our favourite documentaries ever - "Paris is Burning". This is goddam essential viewing for anyone with any interest in underground culture, disco, dancing, clubbing, fashion, even just social anthropolgy. The story of the poor drag queens in NY who gave birth to Vogue culture, it is IMMENSE.

Horse Meat Disco 5th birthday

I was there beeatchez I was there!! It was one of the best nights out clubbing I have ever had - the atmosphere was simply electric. I must have danced on the stage for a good 2 hours - I hadn't taken any drugs but I could feel ripples of ecstacy flowing through my body. Man I LOVE this club!! :-D



Aw, ain't Jimbo adorable in this clip?!

Party Monster - the Shockumentary

This is one of our all-time favourite documentaries - the true story of Club Kid Queen Michael Alig and how she killed that "copycat" Angel. This is delightful, deranged, and genuinely creepy in equal measure - it has to be seen to be believed:

Menergy Anthem: “Amittyville Frenzy” by Lalo Schifrin

Horror -disco ahoy! This is the disco version of Lalo Schifrin's theme to the movie "The Amittyville Horror". As this was the first track on the soundtrack LP and did not feature in the film itself, we can only assume it was a tasteless cash-in. Kerrrr-ching!

Alan Partridge On Lesbians

15 years old and still high-larious! I laughed like a great drain pal - or an anal dirge prat?

Love Is A Stranger

Annie does drag - this is just ridiculously fierce! From the awesome "Synth Britannia Live At the BBC" show which aired a few months back.

Menergy v Lock Up Your Daughters 1

Lock Up Your Daughters

Are a wicked gang of carpet-baggers who also happen to run a Gay Dance Party themselves at the sometime home of Menergy, The Flying Duck. We first met at the Glasgow School of Art's Drag Ball earlier this year, and hit if off like a bath house on fire. The run a top-notch fanzine (also called Lock Up Your Daughters) which they claim is a "QUEER ALTERNATIVE DIY MAGAZINE FOR ALL YOU HOT BITCHES." The latest edition (No.4) has just come out, and features an article about the American TV news anchor Rachel Maddows - I had always wondered if she had a dyke following, and now I know! Awesumz. Check out their website at: http://www.lockupyourdaughtersmagazine.co.uk/index.html
And here's some footage from one of their most recent parties.

Sylvester on Joan Rivers

From the album that inspired the flyer, it's Sylvester performing "Someone Like You" live on the Joan Rivers show. Dragalicious indeed. Everything about this clip is fantastic! From Sylvester's awesome live performance (how I wish I could have seen a Sylvester live show) to his candid outing of his then boyfirend, to the fact that to Joan and the audience this is all water off a duck's back, and not something to be shocked by or sniggered at. F.I.E.R.C.E.

Menergy on Radio Magnetic

A few months ago The Niallist and Kid Zipper did a two hour radio show for Little Rock Records on Radio Magnetic, as a Menergy precursor, and excuse for general self-whoredom. The kids liked it so much they started taking their clothes off - Tiga even dropped by to have a naked oil wrestle with Kid Zipper while The Niallist and Dalai Dahmer go-go danced on either side in shiny silver thongs.
