And
this month we bring you Pascalle Burton
Yes our
first feature act is Pascalle Burton, Pascalle Burton is an Avant-garde
performance-poet musician-lady, whose experimental manoeuvres with words and
sound are usually founded in cultural theory and have been described as an
‘elegant dragnet’. Pascalle has performed at venues and festivals, both in
Australia and overseas. Current projects include The Stress of Leisure,
Letter.Box.Stamp.Collect., The Outlandish Watch project (with collaborators
Nathan Shepherdson and David Stavanger), the Golden Stapler Award nominated
Lavender Room Zine-in-a-Matchbox series and the accessories label TWENTY FIVE
SEVENTY FIVE for The Lavender Room. Her debut poetry collection A Vast Laugh
was released through Small Change Press in 2008.
And
this month we bring you The Stress Of Leisure
Yes our second feature act is The Stress of Leisure! The Stress of Leisure is a band which hails from Brisbane (Queensland), heavily influenced by its sub tropical surroundings. The Stress of Leisure is a truly independent band and continues to release under its own imprint The Stress of Leisure Recording Co. Four albums have been released: The Stress of Leisure (2006), Hour to Hour (2008), Soft Approach (2010) and Cassowary (2012); as well as the 7" single Sex Time (2011). Various commentators have referred to the band as 'local pop wonders', as 'criminally underrated', a band that ease 'seamlessly through a variety of genres'. The slow burn continues.
So join
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! on the 3rd Wednesday of November for the poetry slam of
November 2013, for first prizes, for feature acts, for noise, for poetry, for
music, for drinking, for toilet going, for more and more and more first prizes,
and remember — your original material, two minutes, no music, no props, on stage
at the Phoenix Pub.
