HIP-HOP’S BIGGEST REVELATION IGGY AZALEA ANNOUNCED AS ONE OF THE HEADLINERS AT THE DINAH 2014 !

HIP-HOP’S BIGGEST REVELATION
IGGY AZALEA
ANNOUNCED AS ONE OF THE HEADLINERS
AT THE 2014 CLUB SKIRTS DINAH SHORE WEEKEND

Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend – the largest lesbian event of its kind in the world – has confirmed Iggy Azalea as one of the 2014 main headliners.

Iggy Azalea, one of the most hyped MCs/female rapper in American hip-hop, is set to headline The Dinah’s Friday night “White Party” at the Palm Springs Convention Center on April 4, 2014.

Azalea whizzed into Internet fame as the white girl (now L.A. based) with a raw, no-nonsense delivery, a penchant for dirty talk, and a string of stylized, provocative music videos.  She has already garnered buzz with mixtapes ("Ignorant Art," "TrapGold"), her "Glory" Ep, working with her manager and "mentor," T.I. 

Being an MTV Artist to Watch, snatching a major record deal with Island Def Jam, touring with Beyoncé in Australia, and preparing her debut album “The New Classic” (due out early next year), Azalea has established herself as an unmistakable member of rap music’s next generation. She broke through a long-standing barrier within hip-hop by becoming the first female MC named to XXL Magazine’s “Freshmen Class” list of rap’s fastest-rising young stars.

She recently made headlines, joining Robin Thicke onstage at the 2013 MTV EMAs to perform “Blurred Lines”, dazzling in a metallic mini-dress with matching knee-high boots. The Aussie bombshell, who kept a safer distance from the crooner than Miley Cyrus, delivered a powerful new rap verse to the smash hit sans “twerking” drama. Yet, the Australian femcee is certainly no stranger to controversy having turned heads with her provocative videos for her hits  “Two Times” and “Pu$$y”.

Other notables joining the Sydney, Australia-born rapper include rock band and stars of “The Real L Word”, Hunter Valentine, as well as Mary Lambert, the featured vocalist and songwriter on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ VMA award-winning pro-equality anthem “Same Love”, which just received a Grammy nomination for "Song of The Year", and Porcelain Black, among many others.

Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend delivers another roof-raising celebration with a steamin' hot lineup that will most definitely blow the lid off the sunny oasis!

Get ready for the 2014 Dinah Shore Weekend … it’s gonna be a big one!

Hunter Valentine

 To Take Center Stage at Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend’s World-Renown Pool Party

Power, pop/punk band and stars of “The Real L Word” Season 3, HUNTER VALENTINE, is confirmed to perform at the upcoming 2014 Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend – the largest lesbian event in the world (www.TheDinah.com).

The in-your-face all female rock band is set to take the stage at the Hilton Hotel in Palm Springs, CA, on Saturday, April 5 at 4:00pm during the legendary pool party.

Coming straight out of starring in Season 3 of Showtime's hit reality series The Real L Word, into the release of their third studio album, titled Collide & Conquer, and the nationwide “She’s So Unusual” tour with pop icon Cyndi Lauper, no one can deny the momentum behind rockers HUNTER VALENTINE.                                                                     

Formed when singer/guitarist Kiyomi McCloskey met drummer Laura Petracca in a crowded bar in their hometown of Toronto, the two quickly forged an unbreakable bond that has seen the band rise to success dazzling audiences across the globe and singlehandedly invading our iPods.  

Now with three studio albums under their belt, the band has grown into a veritable powerhouse, performing worldwide on over 200+ sold-out tour stops a year.

 The ladies of Hunter Valentine are everywhere, making headlines nationwide from the cover of Curve Magazine to Huffington Post to Revolver Magazine's Hottest Chicks in Metal issue as well as a live TV appearance on Fox 5 in Las Vegas, A-Sides on The Huffington Post and Time Warner's "SoCal Sound" (entertainment magazine show on Time Warner Cable Channel 101 in Los Angeles), to name a few.

Continuing its intimidating rock fame doing what they know best - promoting their music through heavy touring schedule across the US, Canada, Asia and Europe - the band has solidified their line-up, put down roots in Brooklyn, and grown their fan base steadily around the world. They are currently in the studio working on the recording of new material.

It's clear the band has arrived and is exploding into the mainstream already making a whole lot of noise!  A band that is undeniably best experienced live, Hunter Valentine is guaranteed to make more than a splash at The Dinah and take the Californian desert by storm!

SUNDAY AT THE DINAH!

The Dinah will keep the party going, the surprises coming and Palm Springs rocking until the very last day of the festival!

Sunday will kick things off with the Annual Tea Dance Pool Party at the Hilton hotel with an exclusive live performance by the iconic DIANA KING.

 

The Reggae/Dancehall legend, who sold more than 5 million copies of her debut album "Tougher Than Love", is responsible for chart topping hits like "Shy Guy" from the “Bad Boys” soundtrack, "Say a Little Prayer"  from the soundtrack to My Best Friends Wedding, "Treat Her Like a Lady"“ from Celine Dion’s Let’s Talk About Love album, and "Respect" from Notorious B.I.G’s debut album Ready to Die. 

 Yet King’s biggest accomplishment came last year, when she bravely decided to proclaim her sexual identity as a lesbian—breaking a major taboo in Jamaican culture and making headlines around the world.

 

The day will also be filled with celebrity appearances including Lauren Bedford Russell, Kiyomi McCloskey (Hunter Valentine) and other cast members of “The Real L Word”; 

 .... as well as a preview performance by British pop star Katy Tiz who is already taking the music scene by storm with her massive smash “Famous”.

The critically acclaimed electropop duo UH HUH HER will then deliver a grand finale concert at 8:00pm at Hotel Zoso in Palm Springs, CA.         

                                                         

Returning for the third time to The Dinah, the LA-based duo, crowned  “lesbian royalty”, featuring Leisha Hailey, better known as bisexual journalist Alice Pieszecki on Showtime’s The L Word, and ex-Mellodrone bassist and keyboardis Camila Grey, will perform a variety of songs from their latest album Nocturnes featuring “Same High,” written for and featured in the Golden Globe-winning and Academy Award-nominated film The Kids Are All Right, as well as their EP Black and Blue, and their seminal debut album Common Reaction including the anthemic single “Not A Love Song.”

 The Dinah will conclude its spectacular 5-day weekend with one last EPIC party – the Official Closing Party - at hotel Zoso with an encore performance by Katy Tiz.

 

Don't miss Sunday at The Dinah: a packed-house Pool party, an out of this world show-stopper Concert, and a night and event to forever remember!
