ZAYRA Brings the VIP to Your Club

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

There is a new female artist on the scene on a club tour that is taking a some scene queens by surprise.  Who is this new artist named Zayra.  At first I thought I misread it and it said Sahara from Ru Paul’s Drag Race on Logo.  Since one of the clubs I normally attend only has drag performers do things on Thursdays but then I thought let me look this artist up it starts with a Z.  This could get interesting.  Reminds me of when I first saw Lady Gaga on Myspace and got curious as to who that high energy woman was and had to check her out!

Introducing “Baby Likes to Bang”, the debut album from dance pop diva ZAYRA, featuring the Billboard club hit “V.I.P.” and “Sexy Super Mini Skirt” with “V.I.P.” remixes by Dave Audé, Mike Rizzo and DJ Paulo. Available September 14

I plan on seeing Zayra live this Thursday at the Rose Room inside Station 4 in Dallas which starts off Labor Day weekend festivities. If you are in another city and would like to see this new, fresh artist perform then check out this schedule.  Looking below it looks like I will see her again in Austin at Oil Cans on my Labor Day tour… Revolution is one of my favorite clubs listed below and if you can catch her at Tigerheat at Avalon that would definitely be a blast.  We plan to get up some pics of her show in big D later this week.

Blake Lewis, Debbie Gibson, Frenchie Davis, Taylor Dayne Headline P-House Gay Days

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

The gays invade Orlando all year round but during the first week of June we really invade.  Their will be many host hotels this year (too many to select from) and many pool parties.  One pool you want to sit yourself in front of until the concert begins is at the Parliament House in Orlando.  They have had Deborah Cox in past years and even EnVogue last year.  This year they are bringing out Blake Lewis.  We are very fortunate to have Blake Lewis out at the Phouse this year with his new hit song played on BPM and all over the club scene “Heartbreak on Vinyl”.  The other American Idol performing that Sunday closing day of Gay Days is Frenchie Davis.

Taylor Dayne performs Saturday night with that hit “Tell it to my Heart” tell me I’m the only one baby is it love or just a game..  haha.  I love that song!  Friday Night is Debbie (Deborah) Gibson performing Out of the Blue, Electric Youth, and Shake your Love. The P house has free Citrus bowl parking and offers a 24 hour cafe to sober up after a crazy night of drinking.  We know how strong those drinks are at the Parliament House in Orlando.

This club is one of the best places America has to offer not because of the rooms but because of the great club inside the building, amazingly talented drag performances, and the drag queens that have raised lots of money for AIDS charities.   These are really some great people who run this place.

You can also find yourself lost in the foam party if it does not break down this year.  Just make sure you check your clothes before getting in that mess of foam.

Leave a comment if you plan to attend one of these nights I would like to know which night more people are interested in or what parties you plan to attend.  We plan on attending Typhoon Lagoon friday night, and deciding between Phouse and the MGM party on Saturday.  There is nothing that would make me miss Blake Lewis and the Sunday Funday at Phouse though.

Rollerskating Diva Kimberly Cole to perform at Tigerheat and Krave

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Packing to head for Florida this weekend but had to sit down and take a look at this artist after watching her Youtube Video.  I was thoroughly impressed.  She is not only a hottie, sings catchy tunes, and has hot dancers parading around her but she rollerskates too!  Yey!  I love this girl and hope she is at lots and lots of events this year for us to see.  You can see her perform live at Avalon in Hollywood coming up April Fool’s Day at Tigerheat’s weekly event.

Kimberly Cole is a gifted singer, songwriter, musician and performer with a debut EP titled, “Superstar” out now. Kimberly Cole who has over 1 million twitter followers (Twitter.com/kimberlycole1) has opened for Katy Perry, LMFAO and performed with acts such as Shiny Toy Guns. She will be promoting her new single, “Smack You” at Club Tigerheat on April 1st, the day it releases.

Do you have Winter Olympics Fever? Kimberly Cole grew up as a champion roller-skater who trained at The Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO, and has found a fun and edgy way to incorporate roller-skating into her dance routines.

The MTV Buzzworthy Kimberly Cole performed at the 11th annual Choreographer’s ball and you could tell the crowd was just lovin’ it especially when they all danced around in rollerskates.  That is my favorite!  I have not seen such fun rollerskating choreography since the Madonna Confessions Tour.

Upcoming shows for Kimberly Cole this year include The Playboy Mansion, Krave located near Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, TigerHeat at Avalon in Hollywood and more. Half of her live show is on roller-skates and is a must see from the Youtube videos I have seen. She just performed live at Cherry Pop, a monthly gay event at Factory/Ultra Suede for those that were lucky enough to have seen this.

Tigerheat as you know is my ultimate favorite weekly event here in the US for those 18 and up and is one of the hottest venues for the hottest newcomer performances. You may see her here one week then see here on the MTV VMA’s in a year from now. What a fabulous way to celebrate April 1st and Spring break for some!

Boy George to Join Gaga in London?

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Boy George recently was released from jail in the UK but now he may already be in talks with Lady Gaga to perform at her London concert according to Perez Hilton’s celebrity website.  Boy George could be part of Lady Gaga’s exciting O2 Arena show in London.  This is a show I would love to see in person because Gaga may be able to breathe the life back into Boy George.

The latest gigs from Boy George include a dj set at Area Nightclub in London.  He had a House of Blues tour scheduled for the U.S. but that was canceled last year due to problems clearing U.S. customs.  Maybe he can get some of that all worked out and come play for us fans in the U.S. once he clears things up with all that.

As for Lady Gaga we would be more than delighted to see one of the biggest Party Monsters of them all join her on stage… that being Boy George of course.  The tour will roll on across the globe and circle back around to North America Gaga announced in Detroit.  She plans to bring us a new stage which will mean a bigger show and a new stage.  Her show is already amazing but I am sure it will be breathtaking when she returns to the U.S.  Is Kanye coming as part of the show here?

Lady Gaga Concert Pics

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

raisedarms-gaga-tatooWe had the chance to get some good seats to the show in Orlando, FL.  We got to sit on the same row as Fred from the B52′s which was pretty neat.  I was amazed at how much Lady gaga looked like a young Madonna.  I mean they are both Italian girls but Ms. Stefani sure looked like Ms. Ciccone when it came down to some of the outfits and facial expressions during the show.

Lady Gaga had some of the sexiest dancers performing in ballet looking outfits in one part of the show and then of course you saw some monster happy outfits later on.  You come to Lady gaga’s show and have lots of fun just walking around talking to people beforehand.  The hotties they had working for Virgin mobile were wearing some tasty outfits that we had to get our grubby hands on.

If you happen to be in NYC January 20-24 you can still get tickets to see her at the Radio City Music Hall where she performed for the MTV VMA’s.  January 18, you can also see her on LOGO for a “Live from London” show.  Her next performances are mostly out of the U.S. but will include Manchester, Dublin, Belfast, Liverpool, and London.  The tour takes a spin over to Sydney then ends over in Yokohama, Japan.

Lady Gaga ‘Monster Ball’ Tour Announced

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

International pop superstar or you could say Diva of the World Lady Gaga today announced plans for her next North American tour, entitled “The Monster Ball.” The tour will begin on November 27 in Montreal, Canada. The tour is scheduled to end on January 21, 2010 in Lady Gaga’s hometown, New York City.

What should you expect in the Moster Ball? Lady Gaga says “The Haus of Gaga had been designing ‘The Monster Ball’ for premiere in 2010 at the O2 Arena in London, but due to diligent work and preparation, ‘The Monster Ball’ will begin on November 27 in Montreal. ‘The Monster Ball’ is a multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever ‘pop electro opera.’”

Lady Gaga will release the next chapter of her record breaking album, The Fame, called The Fame Monster on November 23 just four days before the live show starts in Montreal. She is saying that people only have a few days to learn the lyrics before the tour starts up. Although those of us here in the US have a few weeks in some cities. The new album will include eight brand new songs, including the club-banging first single “Bad Romance.” She also says to “dress accordingly” for her concerts and you know what that means.. it means to dress are fashionably crazy as her!

The dates for Lady Gaga “The Monster Ball” are:

November 27 – Montreal, Quebec, Canada – The Bell Center
November 28 – Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Air Canada Center
November 29 – Ottawa, Ontario, Canada – Scotiabank Place
December 01 – Boston, MA – Wang Center
December 02 – Boston, MA – Wang Center
December 03 – Camden, NJ – Susquehanna
December 09 – Vancouver, BC, Canada – Queen Elizabeth Theatre
December 10 – Vancouver, BC, Canada – Queen Elizabeth Theatre
December 13 – San Francisco, CA – Bill Graham Civic
December 18 – Las Vegas, NV – To be announced
December 19 – San Diego, CA – San Diego Sports Arena
December 21 – Los Angeles, CA – Nokia Theatre
December 29 – Atlanta, GA – Fox Theater
December 31 – Miami, FL – Knight Center (New Years Eve Weekend)
January 03 – Orlando, FL – The Hard Rock (New Years Week)
January 07 – St. Louis, MO – The Fox
January 08 – Chicago, IL – Chicago Theatre
January 09 – Chicago, IL – Chicago Theatre
January 12 – Detroit, MI – Fox Theater
January 16 – Atlantic City, NJ – Borgata
January 20 – New York, NY – Radio City Music Hall (same place as the MTV VMA Awards)
January 21 – New York, NY – Radio City Music Hall

Keep in mind that this tour will not include Kanye West who is taking time off from his comments at the MTV VMA Awards in September. Kid Cudi will be the supporting act for the Monster Ball Tour.

Make sure you come back to the Gaypartyblog.com for updates on when the afterparties will be for the Monster Ball tour. We will try and post the afterparty clubs in each city listed.

What about presale codes for these tickets.  Adam Lambert’s blog recently reported that presales go on today October 22, and then go on sale to the general public on October 23.  Presale online now is only for cities such as Miami and Los Angeles, but we could not find Orlando Hard Rock on the list.

What gets me about the presale ticket dilemma is that stubhub already has tickets.  How does stubhub have tickets for sale for the Monster Ball tour if we are not even able to get them via presale?

Here are some places that may get you better seats or VIP to Lady Gaga, Kid Cudi. and Jason Derulo.

Fame Kills Tour with Lady Gaga + Kanye West Canceled

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Breaking News:  Live Nation has announced today that the Fame Kills tour is officially canceled.  The Fame Kills Tour starring Lady Gaga and Kanye West was supposed to start November 10.  Tickets had just went on pre-sale and sale to the public last week with special passwords given for radio stations, Citi Cardholders, and Fame Kills Kanye West Fan Club members.  If you joined a fan club you could get special seating or advanced purchasing power.  That is all over now and all tickets and even fan club members will be refunded according to a FanFire rep I just spoke to.  I told them I wanted my Kanye West Fanclub refunded if the tour is done with.

There has been no explanation given from Live nation or from Fanfire for the cancellation of the concert tour.  This was highly predictable though given the fact that Kanye West said he would take some time off during his appearance on Jay Leno following the MTV VMA awards in NYC.  I kept waiting to hear that the VMA craziness with Taylor Swift and Kanye West was just a stunt but it ends up it may have really been unrehearsed.  MTV is known for their stunts with Enimen and Bruno and others over the years.  Then Lady Gaga went on radio stations to promote the tour talking about how the stage will be like no other show and how she wants to take the fame that Kanye has for her own and he wants some of her humbleness lol.  Yeah right… as if that makes any sense at all.  That indicated to me it was a big joke.

I had also noticed that the ads running for the tour presented only West’s last name with Gaga.  Trying to set him apart from his first name Kanye since it has became a curse word lately or more of a joke with people who watched the VMA’s in September.  The ads used the West + Gaga logo.

My prediction is that Lady Gaga will soon be on her own headlining tour and Kanye will take a much needed break and be behind the scenes producing music for awhile.  We look forward to seeing Lady gaga on her own tour and will be there to buy some damn good tickets to see the princess of pop live!
