ELIZA ROSE COLLABORATES WITH QUEER ART COLLECTIVE FABOO TV TO CELEBRATE HACKNEY NIGHTLIFE.
The Hackney songstress and DJ teams up with long standing friend and co-founder of Faboo TV, Jeanie Crystal, on a music video that celebrates the LGBTQ+ performance community, the spaces and characters that make it, and who defy the gentrification of the area. The soundtrack is Eliza’s new single ‘B.O.T.A’ (Baddest Of Them All)
The video, also a subliminal and radical nod to a famous Lewis Caroll novel, crosses sexuality, gender, joy, surrealism, weirdness, humor, and a touch of sinister. The main character on the escapade of discovery is Eliza Rose, who gets lead underground into a surreal world by performer and dancer Novaya Shey to meet Drag icon Ms Sharon Le Grand, Vogue Ball founder Taboo, speaker, model and dancer Sakeema Peng Crook, Drag & Movement artist Wet Mess, just some of the staples of Hackney’s Queer community in this all star video cast. It was filmed in Hackney streets, and in seminal venues Dalston Superstore and The Karaoke Hole - important spaces in Eliza, Jeanie, the performers, and the community's artistic expression.
Eliza, is a passionate native of Hackney, and both her and Jeanie have lived through the various stages of its gentrification, but what they’ve seen remain and resist is the Queer underground performance arts community, and it’s important to continue to celebrate this.
