All shows are pay-what-you-can.
Jane Ormerod was born on the south coast of England, crossed the Atlantic in 2004 and now lives in New York City. Originally a painter, she switched to writing as a result of a bet. Her work tends to be found in publications with grubby, rock 'n' roll titles, e.g. Dirt, Arsenic Lobster, Failbetter, Stained Sheets, Word Riot and Unpleasant Event Schedule. A recent performance review in Art Comments described her as "descriptive yet judicious and yet seductive". That's a lot of yets.
Lisa Dewey, San Francisco Bay Area artist and owner of indie label Kitchen Whore Records, began playing shows in 1990 and has since released four albums, two EPs and a book. Her latest record, Busk (Bella Union/Kitchen Whore), was released in the spring of 2004. As with the previous release, Weather Changer Girl, this record contains the work and assistance of the legendary Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins). Together, Lisa and Simon have produced another masterpiece of female vocals over beautiful guitar melodies. It’s dreamy, multilayered, atmospheric, gorgeous pop with favorable comparisons to the Cocteau Twins and Everything But The Girl.
Janor Hypercleats was born in New Orleans in 1959. In 1980, he became nationally known as a performer when he headlined the first Subgenius Convention in Dallas. He was one of the authors of The Book of the Subgenius, published in 1983 by McGraw-Hill. Throughout the '80s and '90s, he performed around the country with the Church of the Subgenius. He was the co-author of four Subgenius Books published by Simon and Schuster in the '80s and '90s. In 1998, he left the Church of the Subgenius and became a street performer under the name Mr. T.V.
Yeah, three totally awesome people. And if you come to the San Francisco edition, you get an Elliot Harmon hosting and a Stephen Meads to boot.
Be there. Bring a friend and an enemy.
