Reader's Wifes, Duckie DJs
When Readers Wifes played their first record at Duckie in 1995 gay clubland was musically homogenised, with house music dominant. Kicking against the pricks of mainstream gay culture, they offered as alternative to the bland, repetitive, generic beats in favour of a more edgy, eclectic, rock’n’roll style with a queer sensibility and have been the Duckie house DJs since day one. Over the years, they formed a band, experimented with make up and played lots of parties for the glitterati’s. Their new Duckie project, The Readers Wifes Fan Club is a compilation CD in 3D – with multiple video, performance and sound work – being developed for late 2010. Readers Wifes are Chelsea Kelsey (the blonde English one) and Kim Phaggs (the dark Scottish one).
