WATCH: The Magnetic Fields Put “Andrew In Drag”
The Magnetic Fields, led by out singer-songwriter Stephin Merritt, have been quiet for a little while. But the band is back with a new album, Love at the Bottom of the Sea, on March 6.
But you don’t have to wait until then: Love‘s first single, “Andrew in Drag,” is out now.
If you like the video above, get yourself some tickets for their upcoming tour, which is making stops in Philadelphia (March 7), Seattle (March 19 and 20), Los Angeles (March 23), NYC (April 3), Boston (April 6 and 7) and other U.S. cities.
Visit House of Tomorrow for the full tour schedule.
Ugh Drag queens, the idea that camp was somehow ever important, and Drag kings are best left in the past along with walking stereotypes that you see in “Boys in the band”.
Most GLBT people are not into drag and don’t want to even imitate the opposite gender at all so it’s not any part of what passes as a GLBT “culture” nowadays.

@Drew: the gay scene would be very boring if everyone conformed! drag queens, drag kings, screaming queens, big butchish gym queens and gym bunnies, leather guys, skinheads, lipstick lesbians, butch lesbians and of course your average joe makes the gay scene what it is, DIFFERENT!

@Drew: I beg to differ. Plenty of us still do drag and love it.

I love them! I also, as a proud drag king, love the fact that they are deliberately dawing attention to this part of gay culture.
