An Afternoon with GLU

An afternoon with Kim-Ann Foxman at the Rooms of Red Bull on Friday afternoon, July 10th. The presentation is a taster for Kim-Ann’s DJ set later that night at GLU Magazine’s Summer Gayness Bash at Flexbar.

Kim-Ann Foxman is probably the most notorious as the faggy vocalist for neo-disco band Hercules & Love Affair. What fewer people know is that she’s also a gifted DJ and jewelry designer. GLU editor Jessica Gysel will kick-off the afternoon talking to Kim-Ann about her inspirations and ambitions, followed by a Youtube selection of her most favourite pieces of music and film. We'll end the afternoon with a mini DJ set -the real works we save for the Flexbar- followed by drinks, mingle and chat.

Film program starts 20.30 hrs
Concert starts 21.30 hrs
---------------------------------------------------------------
Pashly is Susan Ploetz; she is anti-heroic, abstract disco songs drawing on many different traditions; performance that combines secret Buddhist dance fractures and western diva posturing; video that glamorizes cellulite and hair falling out; lyrics that expose breakdowns and champion reclamation; crafted props and costumes that move in and out of real time and virtual space.
Ploetz was a fixture in the experimental/underground music and performance scenes of Olympia (WA) and Portland (OR) before moving onwards to New York City, The Midwest/no coast, and soon, Europe and beyond. She has performed with a.o. The Blow, Yelle, BARR and Scream Club.
