We just noticed the flyer over on Sue Ellen’s site for this year’s Dallas Lesbian Festival. And the lineup is looking pretty heavy featuring the return of Deborah Vial. We hear she has been hanging out in Hawaii but will come back to Big D to headline the festival. Not to worry. The rest of the lineup also includes locals Ciao Bella, Anton Shaw and the Michelle Johnson Band.
However, nothing against our Dallas girls, we are kind of stoked about L.A.’s The Dollyrots and San Francisco’s The Action Design being on the bill. In fact, we’re kind of surprised they aren’t higher on the bill. The Dollyrots have received some buzz on NPR’s All Songs Considered and we heard they killed at SXSW this year. And two touring bands on this bill really amp up the lineup. We know our Dallas girls can kick it, but some new and legit rock can only make this show kick ass.
The festival takes place May 24 with advance tickets now on sale. Proceeds from the show benefit Dress for Success, a nonprofit “promoting the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.” Muy fab.
Something we noticed. On the site, it says the Melrose is offering special DLF room rates. And then we chuckled. Lesbian festival – DLF – DILF – not MILF – orrrr, maybe it was just us.
