Alaska Thunderfuck Releases New Video, Reschedules Tour

Star of stage, screen, podcast airwaves, and beyond, RuPaul’s Drag Race favorite and All Stars 2 winner Alaska Thunderfuck has released the video for her 90s/2000s inspired track “XOXOY2K,” and the single backed with “Ask Me.”

“The fashions and accessories of the early 2000s are burned into my psyche because I came of age in the time of low rise jeans and flip phones,” she says in a press release. “This is a love song about attraction and repulsion, all decorated in the mise en scene of the year 2000.”

The song is from her forthcoming Red 4 Filth album, which is slated to release early this year.

Unfortunately, due to the rise of COVID cases and the recent Omicron variant, Alaska’s Red 4 Filth tour, her first-ever North American headlining production, has been rescheduled. Originally slated to begin this week, the tour will now start October 25 in Orlando and finish up in Denver December 18.

A full list of revised dates and venues can be found on Alaska’s official website, and all tickets purchased for the original dates will be honored for the newly rescheduled shows. Not only will the Red 4 Filth tour showcase Alaska performing her entire new album, but it will also include other fan favorites with a barrage of sickening high fashion backup dancers (2000’s pop-star style) and her signature brand of comedy.

In addition to music, the drag superstar has also been busy writing. Last year, she released her memoir My Name’s Yours, What’s Alaska?, which tells the story of the small-town kid raiding her grandma’s closet to becoming one of the most powerful drag queens in the galaxy. From childhood struggles to life lessons learned, Alaska shares the challenges, life-changing discoveries, and victories that paved her path to superstardom.

“People have often asked me, ‘Alaska, if you were to ever write a book, what would it be about?’ The answer is simple—it would be about me, of course,” she says. “In this book, I plan to tell the T, the whole T, and nothing but the T—so help me Goddess. In telling my life story, from my birth until now, I hope to invite you into my world, to set the record straight, and to inspire the children of the world. Because if a poor, skinny, queer boy from Erie, Pennsylvania can grow up to be an extra-terrestrial starlet of stage and screen, then truly anus-thing is possible.”

Told with true Alaska charm and wit, My Name’s Yours, What’s Alaska? is now available to purchase.
