La JohnJoseph is one of those queer performance creatures who defies definition and elusively shapeshifts between artistic mediums and personae entrancing all in their wake. Autobiographic theatre, an award winning novel, opera, electropop: everything that they do reeks of queer art genius and subversive beauty. With a new show, ‘GEIST’, at the Arcola next month, Loverboy’s Fallon Gold […]

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 […]

Loverboy’s Justin Gray spoke with Tuttii Fruitti about her history, her inspirations and the future of the salon. Can you tell […]

Loverboy adores a Classic Gay Film and for queer women Loving Annabelle is right up there. When we found out that the director, Katherine Brooks, was doing a documentary about loving Barbra Streisand we were beside ourselves. Add to this the fact that Brooks has directed some of the best reality TV and made an extraordinary documentary about […]

Today – Thursday 31st March – is Trans Visibility Day. Loverboy’s Fallon Gold spoke with actor, writer, director, cover star, and trans advocate Jake Graf about being visible, being a role model, and telling our stories.
