May 17 @ The Nile

Diamond Hairbrush

Beer on my bra straps.
Have you ever seen slug sex?
This is way faster.

Fancytramp

Meh. Unimpressed. But–
There’s a certain slant of psych–
phaser. Yeah. Fuck yeah.

May 19 @ The Camel

Double Rainbow

Past project future
Fill a room with voice, movement,
with such big ideas

Little Master

Pop goes the punk song;
energy goes where it dares.
Gets noticed. Goes quick.

May 24 @ Studio Two Three

Rameysaurus

Plinky quiet grace
suited to a high ceiling, small
crowd, crying, giggle.

Julie Karr

Gravel–no. Like sand, crushed
seashells, stories to keep us
bad kids entertained.

Zac Hryciak and the Jungle Beat

Unassuming, you, me.
Dance us full of surprises!
We get best of you.

RPG

Metal nerd rage
taps its foot against the dying.
Worth more than 5 bucks.
