4. Lausanne's queer rock party
Other than its très cool cafes, Lausanne is home to Les Filles Affranchies. This incredibly hot lesbian collective is recognized throughout Switzerland for their wildly famous events geared to folks of all sexualities. Last year TW featured an interview with the group, but unfortunately―after four dedicated years of offering constant club, outdoor, cafe, artistic and other events―Les Filles Affranchies has disbanded, bringing an end to most of their activity. However, one original founder, Pauline, has committed herself to continuing the deeply beloved Kill Your Idols, a bimonthly queer rock party started early on in the life of the group.
※Kill Your Idols on October 4th, 2008. The venue was charged by the electro-punk band, Mosh Mosh.
A party like no other, Kill Your Idols hosts a wild range of performances and live music. It has become a popular fixture within the local scene and has caught like wildfire among lesbian, gay, queer, and straight revelers alike.
Moreover, quite possibly triggered by the power of Kill Your Idols' fresh style of rock celebration, a new queer event has just made the scene this year. The event is called "Unglaublich", or "Unbelieveable" in German. It has only been held twice thus far, but already talk of its impending rise has raised waves of excitement among party-goers. Following the performance of the Paris-based Japanese unit "Romanesque" at its second event, Unglaublich is now the brand-spanking-new hot place to be.
Next we'll be posting photos from the October 4th Kill Your Idols!
