‘In our attempt to be accepted by mainstream media we've exchanged leather parties for quiche partiers and BBQs with neighbours.' Mr Slade's sound features tinges of Grunge mixed with the British 80s Goth scene, a splattering of Punk's guitar fury and a smidge of Pop. He discusses how an empowering Arts High School saved him from the familiar classroom Queer experience of isolation. He talks about the compromises Queer culture has made to be accepted into the mainstream, and also the homophobia, sexism and racism behind Rock's hatred of Disco.

‘It shouldn't come down to heteronormative or gay. It should just come down to human interactions and relationships.' Joey hails from Northern Virginia in the United States and is the oldest of four children. His music entertains a myriad of genres include dance, R&B, rock, Latin fusion, and electro beats. Whilst his material is mainstream, he never strays from his core intersectional identity as a gay man of Latin descent. In this episode he talks about growing up in the multicultural regions around Washington DC, and the freedom that performing on stage gave him from an early age. He discusses being negatively profiled due to his Latin heritage and shares his thoughts on the Queer community's fetishization of race.

On today's episode, Paisley linked up with two of his favourite local multidisciplinary artists to talk about the diversity of authenticity, living life as performance and shifting culture with our art. Brendan Maclean & ALPHAMAMA share about their journeys into artistry, how to balance all their different artistic expressions + learning when to leave the mask on and when to take it off.  Brendan Maclean is a self-managed singer and songwriter with Universal Publishing. Signed in 2014 after their debut single Stupid (Spotify: 6,000,000 streams) cracked through to a young, very online, market. Maclean followed this up with funbang1 in 2016.The electro-pop record won overAustralian audiences debuting #2 in the Australian Indenpendent Album Chartsand finding fresh international ears with three tracks synced to Nextflix's queer comedy series Eastsiders. The music video for the lead single House of Air (Vimeo: 6,800,000 streams) caused global controversy for its graphic content and was later crowned in theTop 5 videos of 2017 by New Yorkers Vulture Magazine. Adiverse and thriving talent, Brendan has been nominated for an ARIA for their work alongside Marcia Hines in the disco cabaret Velvet, made a cameo in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and is currently collaborating with life-long hero Paul Mac on new works.   ALPHAMAMA is the self professed Queen of Vulnerability. The Realest Bitch on The Internet. Passionate about liberating authentic human expression in all the ways. Music, Sex and Spirituality are her playground. Growing up as the daughter of an Indonesian preacher and a European South African Nurse, she is naturally gifted as a healer and truth speaker. She is an Advanced Spiral Practitioner and an experienced facilitator of various programs, workshops and retreats.  With venomous rap verses and womb deep wailing, her voice has been described as Honey Fire to soothe and ignite the soul. She is here to initiate you into fierce vulnerability and the authority of You.

“Music is healing for queer people because we find codes and messages that are hidden within songs, and we hear ourselves in them. And we see that caught in other people’s eyes.”  Sydney-based singer-songwriter joins Dan Hall to talk about growing up gay in the Christian suburbs of Australia, singer-songwriter John Grant, the power of performance and his complex relationship with his commercial hit single, House of Air.

Brendan Maclean joins Rhys and Kyran and they get quite deep on the side affects of a debate like this. Lane will be back next time. And a big announcement in the works... news soon.

Brendan Maclean is an Australian singer/songwriter/performer/unicorn who first came on this show about three years ago but suffered at the hands of the great file loss of 2015.He has been kind enough to return and boy do we have a lot to talk about.Brendan’s about to have a new EP come out in August 2017 and a new album in the works for early 2018 so a great time to have him on.Find him on twitter and Insta for more @macleanbrendan.This is a conversation for anyone who’s let fear hold them back from expressing themselves.And expressing himself is something Brendan does with exceptional ability.His live energy is something to behold - as is his recorded work which you can find at brendanmaclean.Bandcamp.com.A fair amount of this conversation revolves around the music video that Brendan put out in the last few months - the video for the song House Of Air.I must warn you with all the warnings I can warn you with.If you choose to go and watch this video yourself you will see rather graphic depictions of many sex acts between two men.You’ll see close up shots of genitals and you’ll even see penetration.If you want to see such a thing, it’s up to you to watch it - I’m not going to say watch it or don’t. But if you do - be aware that you’ll see what you think you’re going to see when you hire professional gay porn actors to make a film in the style of a visual accompaniment to a written thesis observing the habits and cultures of a subset of gay men.In this conversation you’ll hear me watch the video - which you can see at houseofair.info - and I try my best to give benign descriptions of what I’m seeing.But again - only watch this video if you’re interested in seeing something that freaked a lot of people out.I thought the video was great, it is so perfect, and really does what it sets out to do - I’m so happy that Brendan is the kind of guy to make this kind of film.I know I certainly am not brave enough to create art like that - and I’m thrilled he was in my house and able to talk about it with me.Having said that, Brendan got really raw about his adventures in the world of art and performing and it’s an honour that he chose to share these things with me.I urge you to support Brendan in any way you can - financially or through spreading the word about his work.We’re lucky to have him.Let him know you heard him on online - handle is @macleanbrendanPlease enjoy this conversation with Brendan Maclean.

Adam Richard drops by our loungeroom and talks about what's changed in the marriage debate over the last 30 years - and also a lot about sex. Obviously. And about his podcast Talking Poofy, and the feedback he used to get. But first up Lane Sainty of Buzzfeed News gives Rhys and Kyran the lowdown on what's been happening in Canberra over the last few months and what we can expect in the next few. Rhys and Kyran listen dutifully and feel like they're bad gays for not knowing any of it. Music is by the brilliant Brendan Maclean. You can watch his clip for House Of Air here http://www.brianandkarl.com/BRENDAN-MACLEAN-House-of-Air but be warned it is absolutely the least safe for work video I have seen that isn't just straight up porn.

A new (and very sexually explicit) music video has a lot of queers asking: does this represent me? Benjamin and Simon respond with cries of "respectability politics", and dig into why marriage equality—what else—seems to bring out some pretty awful homophobia in gays everywhere.'House of Air', by Brendan Maclean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2uZyTm_w0M'Queer art pushes boundaries: why I made my explicit gay porn music video', by Brendan Maclean: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/feb/07/queer-art-pushes-boundaries-why-i-made-my-explicit-gay-porn-music-video'It's Time', by GetUp!

"To actively isolate a human being is nothing short of structural violence..." Rhys Nicholson and Kyran Wheatley talk to Zoe Coombs Marr (for ages) about Australia's first gay wedding... her marriage to Rhys, at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. In depth look at the why, the how, the who and the whatever.

He was the young, gay, indigenous lawyer running for the Liberal Party against the powerful Tanya Plibersek in Sydney. And now he's in our lounge room. Answering our dumb questions. Geoffrey Winters explained the racial origins of the marriage act and what you actually do and don't have to do (and say and NOT say)to get married - and what he thinks on the whole thing. He also has a terrific story about the gay staffer who wrote themselves out of weddings - but into porn. Yeah, it's incredible. Also our names are Kyran Wheatley and Rhys Nicholson. And the effortless pop gem you hear is by the incredible Brendan Maclean. Look him up. He's amazing. And subscribe so you don't miss anything, because we kind of just are going to make eps and put them up rather than keep some sort of schedule. And tell a friend about us - most important. If this debate is going to get ugly we want to be the place where we actually hear what people think. If you reckon you know someone else who would like that... tell them about Save The Date. Oh and our predictions for the Date to Save haven't changed. Ok. Enjoy, see you next time.

What's it like to get married with gay friends, gay cousins and a gay brother? And can anything be done to make them feel less shit? As we found out, yes. We went to a real life wedding and then chatted to Mason Bazeley, a school friend of Kyran's who got married on Sunday and changed one or two things in the ceremony.
