The organisers of the new Love All Music Festival have confirmed the DJ lineup for the event, with Tim Brown set to take to the decks first at 2pm, followed by Hustler, Milly and The Court's Pussy Shoogah.
Love All will be staged at Loton Park Tennis Club on Saturday 15th March, from 2pm to 10pm. Tickets are on sale now at Northbridge News, Astor Cinemas and online. Discounted earlybird tickets are on sale for $39 online until this Friday 15th February, with tickets set to cost $49 pre-sale thereafter and $60 on the door.
Love All spokesperson Gavin McGuren said the DJ lineup would suit the event perfectly.
"Love All is about creating a groovy and funky sound and a sexy summery feel," he said.
"In addition to having four of Perth's hottest DJs, we will also have live instruments and vocalists on stage, creating that outdoor Cafe del Perth feel that we have all been craving for so long.
"If you can't imagine what it will be like, think of your favourite outdoor festival event and add warm weather, the city skyline, beautiful people, eight hours of great music and fairly priced drinks that you can drink wherever you want. It's as simple as that."
Mr McGuren said the organising team had received a few questions about how much shade would be available on the day and had made special arrangements for the event.
"In addition to the giant palm trees at Loton Park, we have booked heaps of giant market umbrellas and there will be more beach umbrellas that you have ever seen before," he said.
"Make sure you get there early to get yours. Feel free to bring a picnic blanket - there's heaps of space - and don't forget to bring your hat, sunnies and sunscreen."
Love All is being staged by GAYinWA Events, in partnership with Lick Events and Loton Park Tennis Club and will be a important fundraiser for the community group that manages Australia's only gay and lesbian tennis club.
The organising team assembled for Love All, from the organisers and promoters to the DJs,
the lighting designer and even the bar manager, have years of
experience between them and have been involved in the staging of legendary Pride
parties like 'Heaven', 'Glam Nation', 'Lust in Space' and 'Bloom' and
great Lick events like 'Lez Vegas', 'Girlie Show', 'Playboy Mansion'.
DJ Profiles
Tim Brown (2pm - 4pm)Tim Brown has played everywhere from the main floor and the terrace at
his nightclub, Connections, to most of the seriously cool destinations
in town, including Luxe and the Brissie. He has enjoyed a regular gig
in Bali, and played major events including Xes, Pride, Good Vibrations
and Vibes on a Summer's Day. At Love All Tim is promising “funky and
sexy vocal house — feel good music for a blissed-out, summery
afternoon.”
Hustler (4pm - 6pm)Hustler is no stranger to the Perth discothèque circuit, forging a name
for herself from the early 90s on both the gay and straight club scenes
alike. A current resident at Connections, she is well remembered for
her funked up vocal disco sets at Pride and XES parties from 1995 to
2000. Hustler has also held residencies in London and Dublin,
including residencies at Mez, Glitter and Twisted and played the main
set at Dublin’s Pride night parties 3 years running.
Milly (6pm - 8pm)If you were out on the scene between 1995 and 2000 you probably would
have tapped your feet at some point to the tunes of DJ Milly. She put together the "Rock and
Roll Fag Bar", "Girlfriend", DJ'd at Trade, Pride Events and of course was resident
at Connections for "too many years". Milly has supported the likes of
Boy George, Carl Cox and Frankie Knuckles.

The 2008 Pride Parade may have been among the smallest, and certainly
the fastest in Pride's 19 years, but it remains a relevant and
important event according to this year's convenor, Charles Denham.
Gay favourite Rachel Berger is among the headliners this year as the Wild West Comedy Fest returns
to Perth for 26 days of hilarity and hijinks. Other Australian comedy
stars on the bill include Bob Franklin, Tom Gleeson, Fiona O’Loughlin
and Scared Little Weird
Guys.
Rebuilding trust was the key to the success of this year's Pride events
according to festival convenor, Kieran Bycroft. While some events did
less well than expected, many attracted good crowds and some film and
theatre sessions were sold out.
African-American and Latino voters were a powerful force in electing Barack Obama and also in passing Proposition 8 to ban same-sex marriage. Exit polls
showed 70 percent of black voters, and a majority of Latino
voters, voted yes to the ban. More here.
Three US states ban marriage
Three US states passed amendments banning same-sex marriage in the historic vote that also saw the election of the nation's first black president. Voters in California, Arizona and Florida approved proposals to outlaw same-sex
marriage. More here (free registration retired)and here.
California's marriage war rages on
Having failed to save same-sex marriage, GLBT Californians are taking their fight to court. City attorneys from San Francisco, Los Angeles and Santa Clara will seek to invalidate Proposition 8 on the grounds that it conflicts with the equal
protection pillars of the state Constitution. More here, here, here and here.
Caught with their pants down in Malaysia
Malaysian police raided four gay "parties" on the weekend and arrested some 70 people after finding DVDs, gay magazines, lubricants and boxes of condom. A small reminder to be cautious in Malaysia and Singapore, where the aptly named Straits Times gleefully prints your photo. Details here.
Burning in hell on Earth
God Hates Fags! posters have become one of the symbols of the great divide in America. Now the son of
vile and crazy Rev Fred Phelps speaks out for the first time about the violent abuse he
suffered at the hands of his father. Read it here, along with
the response from his delightful sister, Shirley.
Circumcision HIV benefits in doubt
US analysis of data on 53,567 men who have sex with other men has
found that circumcision is ineffective in reducing HIV rates.
African trials have shown circumcision cuts the likelihood of male to female HIV transmission by up to 60 per cent. More here and here.
Only gay in the village proud but sad
Australian Olympic gold medalist, Matthew Mitcham, is proud but also sad to have been the only gay in the village at Beijing. The champion diver says his decision to come out before the games was a vital part of the gold medal performance that denied China a clean sweep. More here.
Lover cooked and served with herbs
A plague of gay cannibals threatens to overrun the planet, with the latest outbreak reported in Leeds, where a former Mr Gay UK is on trial for killing a former lover and attempting to eat part of his thigh. Anthony Morley, 36, is accused of murdering Damian Oldfield and cooking parts of his flesh. More here.
Big HIV rise among China's gay men
HIV infections have increased alarmingly among gay and bisexual men in parts of
China according to new data. There were an estimated 700,000 HIV/AIDS cases in China as of
October 2007, up 8 percent from 2006. Cases among gay and bisexual men jumped to 3.3 percent in 2007 from 0.4 percent in 2005. More here.
Dancing in a circle with your friends, it's quickly becoming the
perfect night out. However amid the fifth round of drinks and
renditions of I Kissed a Girl, you can't help but feel a rift over the
dance floor.
From the Pride theatre and film seasons through to the Great Gay &
Lesbian Debate, Parade and Party, I thoroughly enjoyed this year's
Pride Festival. View footage from the debate and Parade and read about my festival highlights and the challenges I think Pride faces next year.
In winning today’s Presidential election, Barack Obama has provided the
world with the opportunity for a new beginning and his country with the
opportunity to put the disastrous Bush years behind it.
For some time now it's been popular among members of Generation Y to
declare that something is "so gay" to indicate that it's dumb, silly,
bad, ugly, unattractive, geeky, embarrassing, gaudy or even just plain
dull. That’s so gay. That’s so gay.
That’s so gay. It's the dull that hurts the most.
While I may not be the first person to go out on a limb and declare
that Barack Obama will win this year's Presidential election, I may be
among the first to declare that Sarah Palin will win the Republican
nomination and challenge him in 2012. That is, if she hasn't
bankrupted the Republicans with her wardrobe expenses first.
The global financial meltdown and impending economic Armageddon may
have an unexpected upside. For the first time in half a generation,
there may finally be a pool of people with the time on their
hands necessary to build exciting Parade floats.
Love All will return in 2009, with organisers bringing the event
forward to February to take advantage of the guaranteed summer weather.
