NEW YORK CITY SPECIAL
featuring:
RANDI RUSSO (Indie/Brooklyn, NY)
http://www.myspace.com/randirusso
http://randirusso.bandcamp.com/
Randi Russo mixes emotionally drenched indie-rock with psychedelic, punk, art-rock, garage, and folk influences. Her velvety singing style is as equally raw and beautiful as her guitar playing is edgy and unusual. Randi's a southpaw who plays her guitar upside-down and backwards which creates interesting chords and sounds. Cross-pollinate the voices of Patti Smith, Cat Power, and Siouxsie Sioux, with music and songwriting that's reminiscent of the Velvet Underground and Sonic Youth and you'll get a seedling of Randi's music, which is enchantingly dark, driving, hypnotic and deep.
ERIN MARKEY (Queer Performance/Brooklyn, NY)
http://www.myspace.com/erinmarkey
Erin Markey is a Brooklyn-based performing artist and writer who creates original music and knows her way around a brass pole. She was bred in Michigan and buttered in the Deep South. After the butter melted, she went back to Michigan to study at the "University of" under the brilliant, campy, sexy, hilarious mentorship of Holly Hughes. Markey's work is heavily influenced/inspired by Ms. Hughes, Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver, Santa Claus, Judy Garland, Annie Sprinkle, Sarah Vaughan, Tom Jones, Liberace, Kate Bornstein, Carol Burnett, and Miss Piggy. She has just returned from the controversial 2008 Sex Worker's Art Show Tour, where she performed excerpts from her newest solo musical, Puppy Love: A Stripper's Tail. Her work was recently included in the 2007 Lincoln Center Director?s Laboratory, and has been produced and showcased in galleries, museums, theatres, salons, clubs, bars, cabaret spaces, parties, and academic conferences such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Joe's Pub, Performance Studies International at Brown University, Baltimore's Walter's Art Museum, Here Arts Space, Baltimore?s Creative Alliance Gallery, The Green Room, Galapagos Art Space, Unisex Salon, 3LD, London's Club Wötever, Mo Pitkin's, and frequently at Dixon Place. Her Puppy Love: A Stripper's Tail audiobook is now on sale. Please contact Erin directly or come to a show to buy one! She is currently in the process of making Puppy Love into a movie-musical.
