Spoken Word
Trashcanpoet is the rhyme-spitting alter ego of Miles Gabriel Burke, an Oakland-based slam poet, writer and spoken word artist. He was first published at 17 and co-founded the alt/hip-hop group RUUDE in Atlanta before moving to the Bay Area, where he has been a finalist for Berkeley’s and San Francisco’s national poetry slam teams and has performed with Fella-Fem, The Men’s Story Project, Artists Against Rape, and the Queer Girl Theatre Project (of which he was the first male-identified member), among others. In addition to performing, he is currently working on a novel, Oaklandia, which is half semi-autobiographical and half pure unadulterated bullshit.
Nowadays my stage name is WALKI’s MONSTER. I have performed in Europe and in Canada. I am a musician, a writer, an artist and a photographer. My style of music may vary from one song to the next, goth, rock, blues, alternative, experimental. I was told many times that gender was biological, but I cannot identify with any gender. One label I’ll accept is “drag king”. WALKI’s MONSTER takes no prisoner.
Singapore born transgendered jazz fusion guitarist and new music composer, Domina Catrina Lee remains an enigma. Her work has been called ‘transcendent’ and ‘intriguing’ but has yet to build a sufficient following. An artist deserving much wider attention she works constantly and untiringly on her art and updates her growing body of work available online.
Classic Rock & Blues
Too Much Information (TMI) plays the music of the “post-Boomer generation”—70s and 80s classic rock—as well as a mix of older and newer hits. The band covers a wide range of artists, from The Eagles and Eric Clapton to Bonnie Raitt and The B52s. They have a special knack for blues by way of Muddy Waters and Big Mamma Thornton, and a growing list of mixed-genre original tunes. Their musical versatility is apparent in every set. Not only do they play a wide range of pop, rock, funk, and blues, but five of the six take the main mic from time to time. (more…)
