Description
A brand new night at Religion
Drag Superstar, Lady Lloyd, is coming to Leeds to launch the city’s newest gay night. The Gender Bending DJ will be opening Blasphemy at Religion nightclub on Wednesday the 28th November.
With Federation having gone weekly, Blasphemy will be the only monthly gay clubbing experience in Leeds. Aimed at a cocksure crowd of 18 plus gay boys and queer girls, Blasphemy promises to put some glamorous decadence and sinful excess back into the city’s gay scene.
Set in the super plush surroundings of Religion nightclub on Lower Briggate, Blasphemy will play a beat-grinding mix of house, pop, electro and new wave.
‘We want a club night that is fun but cutting-edge and risqué. We’re no strangers to controversy,’ says Blasphemy co-creator, Bent columnist and editor-in-chief at new counterculture magazine Polluto. ‘But more importantly, we wanted to give people a reason to dress up in their best outfits and go out clubbing again.’
‘Blasphemy will bring eye-linered emos, skinny indie boys, fashionistas, hardcore clubbers, trannies and super trendy guys together under one roof on a monthly basis,’ adds co-conspirator Liam Keogh.
‘We’ve taken inspiration from London, where queer nights have become a benchmark of clubbing excellence, attracting global celebs and the capital’s IT crowd in equal measure. We want to mix the coolest elements of the capital’s gay scene with the funky style of Leeds.’
Lady Lloyd became a London icon by ditching drag’s tacky image and turning it into a fashion statement, revolutionising it by replacing sequined outfits with chic designer dresses. She’s already a huge name on the capital, hosting cult gay nights like Tranny Shack and Popstarz. Now with a collaboration with Boy George and a television show about to launch her into the country’s front rooms, Lloyd’s breaking out of the big city and taking her unique DJing skills nationwide.
