Hate can’t stop an 80’s girl

Hate can’t stop an 80’s girl

Remember when being openly gay could mean doing time in prison? Neither does Andy Boreham, but that’s not stopping him from channelling the underground subversive spirits to put on Homolicious 1986.

“It’s an underground themed party in set in pre-Homosexual Law Reform time,” says Boreham. “We hope people will dress up. The music will be 80s and the theme is the cusp of change. We’re sort of feeling that now with marriage equality.” 

DJ Danny Noir will be spinning Boy George, New Order, and other blasts from the past, while VJ Rayzordoll will be projecting protest and music-themed 80s videos. 

“We really hope that people who were around and partying back them will come and make it more authentic,” says Boreham.
Dig out your neon and dance all night!

Homolicious 1986, Medusa Bar, June 23, 10pm-4am.

  • Making housing affordable 27/03/2013 10:06:00 a.m. With home ownership rates falling and many struggling to play higher rental costs, making housing affordable has risen to the top of the political agenda.
    Joel Pringle, campaign manager for Australians for Affordable Housing, and Charles Waldegrave, from the Family Centre, will address a meeting as part of a public discussion on housing at Thistle Hall on April 8.
    Waldegrave will look at the human faces of housing unaffordability while Pringle will suggest ways to build public support for affordable housing policies in New Zealand.
  • Food to the rescue 27/03/2013 10:06:00 a.m.
    Food rescue organisation, Kaibosh, has been named supreme winner at the TrustPower National Community Awards.
    The Wellington based service group collaborates with food retailers and producers to rescue surplus food that is good enough to eat, but not good enough to sell, preventing it from being discarded into landfills.
    Since its inception in 2008 Kaibosh has rescued over 285,000 meals – that’s 100 tonnes of food redistributed to where it’s needed most.
