OutQ's Super Pride Weekend 2011 programming will include:

-- All-night club party tribute to the iconic Paradise Garage disco with
legendary DJs David DePino Xtravaganza and Joey Llanos. The Paradise
Garage was notable in the history of modern pop culture for cultivating
a distinctive sound that merged vintage disco with cutting-edge house
music, and it was the birthplace to such legends as the late DJ/producer
Larry Levan and Mel Cheren, whose West End Record label became
synonymous with the "garage sound." DePino Xtravaganza and Llanos were
part of an all-star tribute to the Paradise Garage in New York City
earlier this year, and OutQ will air this "reunion party" beginning at
10:00 pm ET on Saturday, June 25 and Sunday, June 26.
-- DJ/producer Nicky Siano--who masterminded three-turntable club-mixing at
such landmark disco-era venues as Le Jardin, the Gallery and Studio
54--will debut his new OutQ series Behind the Grooves on Saturday, June
25 at 9:00 pm ET. On the show, Siano and co-host Larry Flick will weave
memories of the early days of disco and the LGBT movement with classic
'70s hits and rare musical treasures. An encore presentation of the
Behind the Grooves premiere airs Sunday, June 26 at 9:00 pm ET.
-- Special edition of Feel the Spin with Larry Flick featuring a wide array
of in-depth interviews with music icons, including an intimate
conversation with global pop diva Kylie Minogue in which she shares
never-before revealed details of her battle against breast cancer, her
dramatic split from her career-launching relationship with UK
songwriting and record producing trio Stock Aiken Waterman and her
evolution to her current status as one of the top-selling recording
artists in the world. Feel the Spin will also feature a rare interview
with dance music legend Martha Wash, who will trace her history as
one-half of The Weather Girls, her long-time association with Sylvester
and well as her controversial tenure as the voice of C+C Music Factory
and Black Box. Wash will also perform her new single, "I've Got You,"
along with one of her classics. Adding to the festivities, pioneer
turntable artist Warren Gluck contributes a set to Feel the Spin that
pays homage to another historic New York disco club, The Saint. Gluck's
tunes will take listeners on a musical voyage back to The Saint's
Super-Pride Tea-Dances that played to millions of men and women during
the '80s and '90s. Feel the Spin kicks off Sunday, June 26 at 2:00 pm
ET.
-- Iconography: Larry Kramer: throughout super-pride weekend, OutQ will air
the latest in its Iconography series, Iconography: Larry Kramer, which
offers an intimate look at the life and work of the playwright, author,
public health advocate, and LGBT rights activist. Kramer sat down for
this candid, in-depth discussion in the New York City apartment where he
formed Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) in 1980 and AIDS Coalition to
Unleash Power (ACT UP) in 1987. In this one-hour special, Kramer
reveals the events that put him on the path to becoming one of the most
profound and influential voices in gay history and offers insight into
the creation of his acclaimed play The Normal Heart, which is currently
enjoying a Tony®-winning revival on Broadway. Iconography: Larry Kramer
airs Saturday, June 25 at 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm and Sunday, June 26 at
12:00 pm and 7:00 pm, all times ET.
