BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! |
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!
wants your words on stage inside the Phoenix Pub for two minutes with no props
no music for prizes, 1st prizes!
Because
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! is the Poetry Slam that gives anyone a microphone on stage
in front of an audience, judges, MCs, feature acts, a bar, bar staff, toilets
and doorways! All for you!
And we
want you there to audience, judge, perform, read, drink, toilet, go to sleep,
wake up, yelp, go back to sleep and/or win first prizes!
And we
have a feature act and a house band.
Our
feature act is the long lost father, mother, daughter, uncle, grandmother and
grandson of BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!, he is David Stavanger.
‘David Stavanger’s poetry & flash fiction has been published in various Australian
and international magazines, newspapers & anthologies. Known for his
distinct live performance he has featured at various writers festivals &
poetry venues around the world. His chapbook And the Ringmaster Said… was
released through QLD's Small Change Press in 2008. In 2012 he was invited to be
QLD’s Writer in Residence as part of the National Year of Reading. In 2013 he
received CAL funding to visit Edinburgh and be mentored in their
Reader-in-Residence program. As part of this UK tour he also presented at
StAnza, Scotland’s National Poetry Festival. In the same year he also won the
Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize and took up residency as Australia’s inaugural
“Reader-in-Residence”, a 12 month live weekly writing & poetry installation
at Brisbane Square Library. His new poetry collection The Special will be
released by UQP in August 2014.’
Our house
band is the Viola Cloning Project!
‘The
Viola Cloning Project is a one-man, one-viola, seventy-five-effect-pedal band.
Using loop recorders and harmoniser pedals in particular, a single instrument
becomes a full string and percussion orchestra. It is the brainchild of Richard
Grantham, a classically-trained composer and band-hardened
multi-instrumentalist based in Brisbane, Australia.’
And
filling the Hadley Memorial Slots is the Flying V.
So join
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!, 7:30pm to sign-up, 8pm to poetry slam, all night for
drinking, and remember no props, no music, your original words!
