Bright Light Bright Light’s Fun City is a pop-prolific musical map nodding to disco, electronica, boogie, balladry and even musical theatre.

Opener Touchy, a duet with Australian queer auteur Brandon MacLean, Rod Thomas imagines is ‘like being in the Moulin Rouge when a troupe of drag kings come out wearing feather boas and top hats.’ The record shimmies further into the twilight, tagging a compendium guestlist of artists spelling out the past and future of the LGBTQ+ experience. It is a record about honouring our responsibility to one another in sketchy, antagonistic times.

Bright Light Bright Light has been a staple of the international LGBTQ+ music scene for over ten years, having released three prior albums and touring as both a solo artist and has support alongside pop royalty like Elton John, Cher, Erasure, Ellie Goulding and The Scissor Sisters. He also collaborated with Elton on his 2016 banger “All In The Name” which he also performed with the music legend on The Graham Norton Show.

He also collaborated with Elton on his 2016 banger “All In The Name” which he also performed with the music legend on The Graham Norton Show. For the past four years he has curated, hosted and served as the DJ for regular afternoon dance parties (which he affectionately calls the “Romy & Michele’s Saturday Afternoon Tea Dance”) at Manhattan’s Club Cumming and Brooklyn’s C’Mon Everybody.

Aside from using his music as a powerful platform for equality, he has also actively fundraised for The Trevor Project, Ali Forney Center, Hetrick-Martin Institute, ACLU, and Elton John AIDS Foundation over the years.
