Having lived in Barcelona for the last four years, there’s nothing more we love than showing friends and family around the city; La Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, Montjuic. But there is one area that always seems to get a bad rep…our neighbourhood, El Raval! Known for the drug-dealers, sex workers and money launderers masquerading as […]

We owe a lot to RuPaul and the queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Whether it be delivering series after series of drag, drama and deathdrops or appearing in the pages of the very first issue of Loverboy – shout out to Willam! Now it seems we have one more reason to be grateful and that […]

Now if there’s anything we need less of in 2020, it would be drama. But for the duo Super Drama we may just be willing to make an exception. The East-London based DJ/Production powerhouse that is Jerome and Jon, were…well, fucked, when the bars & clubs began to close down thanks to Covid. But refusing to […]

Four years ago Loverboy ditched the chaos of London for the sunny shores of Barcelona and we’ve never looked back. But with the arrival of Tom Aspaul‘s glorious new album, Black Country Disco, about his love for his hometown of West Midlands, it’s possible we might just be feeling the onset of nostalgia… We last […]

‘Old women being catty – that’s what we need!’ Durand Bernarr and Loverboy are excitedly discussing Sunday’s VERZUZ with Patti Vs Gladys, but as Durand rightfully points out, ‘I really wish it had been Patti Vs Aretha.
