Docu-series stars drag icons Alaska Thunderf*ck and Lola LeCroix


2023 DRAG QUEEN OF THE YEAR COMPETITION AWARD CONTEST COMPETITION PAGEANT

TO TAKE PLACE LIVE IN-PERSON SUNDAY, MAY 14 AT THE MONTALBAN THEATRE IN LOS ANGELES

 

OUTtv, the leading LGBTQ+ streaming platform, has announced the premiere date for “Behind the Drag Queen of the Year Pageant Competition Award Contest Competition”, a new docu-series that goes behind the scenes of legendary drag queens Alaska Thunderf*ck and Lola LeCroix’s Drag Queen Of The Year contest. The new season will premiere on

Friday April 21, 2023 in the US.

 

“Behind the Drag Queen of the Year Pageant Competition Award Contest Competition”

follows renowned drag queens Alaska Thunderf*ck and her creative drag partner Lola

LeCroix as they put together their annual drag pageant to crown the Drag Queen Of

The Year. The docu-series provides a detailed look into the planning and creativity that

occurs backstage of drag competitions, and closely follows the duo as they come up

against challenges and setbacks, including a nightmare in tech rehearsals with just

hours until showtime. Contestants on the show include Andrew Barret Cox,

Bambi Banks-CouleƩ, Dvvsk, Militia Scunt, Neon Calypso, Ramona Slick and Twink

Trash.

 

Alaska Thunderf*ck and Lola LeCroix added: “Our goal with The Drag Queen of the

Year Pageant Competition Award Contest Competition is to provide a platform for Drag

artists who come from a variety of unique Drag perspectives. In a time where the

artform of Drag is under attack, amplifying queer voices is more important than ever,

and we’re looking forward to continuing this Pageant’s legacy. We’re grateful to all of

the incredible 2022 DQOY contestants, our crew behind the scenes, and to OUTtv and

Froot.tv who, through this series, will show the Pageant from all sides-- capturing the

stressful, chaotic, and ultimately inspirational essence of Drag Queen of the Year.”

 

Philip Webb, COO of OUTtv, said: “This show is every bit as chaotic and fun as its

name suggests – giving audiences a back stage pass to one of the most iconic

competitions in drag! In the face of bigoted and damaging legislation placed on drag

performances in the US, we’re proud to show the world the creativity, artistry, and

positivity of all forms of drag. There’s nobody more knowledgeable than Alaska and Lola

to show us the immense amount of hard work that goes into these events and to guide

us through the sea of glitter, wigs - and claws - which inevitably come out for the annual

pageant.”

 

The six-episode series is a Froot and OUTtv Original produced by PEG Productions.

The show will be available exclusively on the OUTtv Apple TV Channel, the OUTtv Roku Channel and OUTtv.com in the US; OUTtv linear, OUTtvGo.com and the OUTtv Amazon Prime Channel in Canada and FROOT.tv in the UK and Ireland a week later (April 29, 2023). 

 

And now, flying in the face of economic meltdown and a catastrophic political landscape, The Drag Queen of the Year Pageant  Competition Award Contest Competition is returning for its 5thth incarnation on Sunday, May 14, 2023 live and in-person at The Montalban Theatre in Hollywood.  Tickets are on-sale now HERE

Red 4 Filth

Star of stage, screen, podcast airwaves and beyond, scalding hot drag superstar Alaska Thunderfuck has revealed the official artwork for her Red 4 Filth album. The long-awaited album arrives today September 23 via PEG Records/Warner Music Group/ADA. Pre-Order HERE

 

Red 4 Filth produced by Ivan and Peter, Jordan Palmer, Stolar & Chester Krupa & Killingsworth finds Alaska continuing to evolve artistically and is an album of addictive pure pop confections harkening back to the 90’s and early 2000’s ala Britney, Xtina and TLC. Alaska collaborated with a dream team of songwriters (Jay Stolar (Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato), JBACH, Chester Krupa, Skyler Cocco, Jordan Palmer, Andrea Rosario (Aloe Blacc) Jesse Saint John, Nick Laughlin and Ferras) not many other drag performers have attained thus far. “With this album we were heavily referencing the music that made me who I am, and we talk about love and relationships and friendships in a way that I never have before in my music.” said Alaska

 

Billboard Magazine Breaks Down “Red 4 Filth” Track-by-Track HERE

 

People Magazine premiered the brand new video HERE for Alaska’s cover of Ace of Base’s, “All That She Wants

HERE today. The “All That She Wants” video features RuPaul Drag Race fave Bosco and completes the latest in a steady output of tracks released from Red 4 Filth, following “Red,” “beautiful (night 4 a) breakdown/without your love,” “wow,” “XOXOY2K/ask me,” “22,” “uh,” “I Am Her (She Is Me) (feat. Ts Madison)” and “Girlz Night (feat. Stephanie’s Child)” that were rolled out over the last year.

 

The video tells the story of an outer space ingenue— the perfect specimen of womanhood trapped in a space pod by a diabolical creator. But when the mystical creation becomes too powerful, her creator flies into a rage. Does her creator destroy her ? Or does the outer space woman break free once and for all ? You’ll have to watch the video to find out”states Alaska, while Bosco says of the video, “Grueling, unforgiving, and emotionally taxing. I spent months preparing for the role and don’t know if I’ll ever be normal again.

In addition, the “Red 4 Filth” tour HERE is Alaska’s first-ever headlining tour of North America and will feature her performing the entire new album and other fan favorites with a barrage of sickening high fashion backup dancers (2000’s pop-star style) as well as feature her signature brand of comedy for a must-see show. Tickets are on sale HERE  with prices ranging from $20.00 for early GA & $25.00 for GA ADV to $95.00 for VIP/M&G and $249 for the Ultimate VIP experience.

”Call her a performer on the edge—not just in terms of style, but on the brink of ascending to a higher career echelon." – Queerty

 

Already released from the Red 4 Filth album is Alaska’s collab with drag supergroup Stephanie’s Child, “Girlz Night” HERE - “Girlz Night” is about that moment of needing to go out with your girls and be hot sluts on the town. The song is a journey from getting ready, to the car ride, to the actual night at the hot sexy club. I love Stephanie’s Child so much, and I have for years…so I’m honored to finally have a song with all of these wickedly talented individuals.” says Alaska. “It’s actually a much sexier and citier queer telling of Sex And The City, but we’re all Samantha. Four hot and horny blonde bitches singing about being very young and effortlessly stunning — they ride limos EVERYWHERE, and they never ever pay for drinks, because they don’t have any money.” said Stephanie’s Child’s RosĆ©.

 

Alaska also had the chance to collab with the legendary Ts Madison on, “I Am Her (She Is Me).” The two discuss the track HERE “Ts Madison is a modern day prophet. Her energy and positivity and outlook on life is contagious. Getting to work with her on this song was such an honor and a privilege. I am her she is me.” says Alaska while Ts Madison quips, “From the Moment Alaska inboxed me on Instagram saying she had a music collab that she wanted me a part of, I was extremely ecstatic! It took about a month or so for me to get the actual song and adlibs that were set up for me to do and after listening to the song, I said nah, I wanna do more than this and so I played the track on REPEAT with my music coordinator "KAYNO" and we wrote a cute lil' feature and recorded it in the studio with Alaska.  This song speaks to self-confidence and self-empowerment and being proud of who you are and honey. I AM ALL THOSE THINGS!!  I am her...she is ME!!

 

Other tracks released are the  90’s/2000’s inspired video (directed by Brad Hammer & Nick Laughlin) for "XOXOY2K" HERE and the single HERE backed with "ask me.”  Alaska coo’s about “XOXOY2K”here - "The fashions and accessories of the early 2000s are burned into my psyche because I came of age in the time of low rise jeans and flip phones.  This is a love song about attraction and repulsion-- all decorated in the mise en scene of the year 2000." 

 

Billboard Magazine -HERE raves – “Remember how much fun early-2000s rave music was? Drag Race all-star Alaska Thunderfuck sure does, and is ready to party down once again as she transports listeners back to the turn of the 21st century with her latest single, “XOXOY2K.” This built-for-the-club anthem sees the drag star reveling in the culture of a decade long past, referencing everything from Von Dutch to NSYNC to JNCO jeans, all over a hard-hitting beat that’ll have you sprinting to the nearest gay bar to live your best Y2K fantasy.”

 

Red 4 Filth also features “22,” a sweet stripped down song with a truly endearing and uplifting message from Alaska which American Songwriter magazine premiered HERE while Alaska’s single for “wow.”HERE channels all the angsty amped-out rock feels ala Avril, Olivia Rodrigo & Alanis.  When asked to describe “wow.”, Alaska stated, “It’s a breakup song!” See for yourself in this video HERE with Alaska out of drag on guitar (red, of course) backed by the band Disciplez banging out a raw and unfiltered performance.

 

 beautiful (Night 4 a) breakdown” HERE – which opens the album is filled with all the essential emotional ingredients as Alaska explains, “I live with hysteria, tantrums, and breakdowns on pretty much a daily basis.  So this is a beautiful dance anthem that is celebrating the liberating power that you can find by being comfortable and familiar with your inner demons, rather than trying to run from them or hide them.” Watch the official video HERE.

 

Red,”the first track HERE released from Red 4 Filth was also hailed by Billboard magazine HERE - Alongside being one of RuPaul's Drag Race's biggest stars, Alaska Thunderfuck knows how to put together a banger. Nowhere is that more clear than on "Red," the drag star's stunning new single. The song, which comes off of the star's upcoming album Red 4 Filth, is a thumping electro-pop banger through and through, with Alaska offering some stellar vocals (as well as her signature talk-singing in the song's second verse) to bring home this early-2000s-style bop.

 

“Red is the color of blood, and the heart, and the color of love. This song and this album are dedicated to the time when I first fell in love with music — around the turning of the century. We’re drawing upon the sounds and textures of the 90s and early 2000s, with pop songs that are about love and friendship. I love the music and I can’t wait to share it with you all.” says Alaska
