1 AUG: P L (Paula) Jones + Mark Lloyd
PAULA JONES is a teacher and writer living in the Perth hills. She has
lived and taught in Japan, Vietnam and Singapore. Although her poems are
often short Paula tries to pump them full of hormones and genetic
modifications. What looks rosy on the outside is often rotten in the core.
Currently she is a community broadcaster and chairperson of the KSP Writers'
Centre in Greenmount. MARK LLOYD, 22, has been making words that sound the
same to explain things since 14. First under the alias "MC Marksman" and now
as the frontman of Dome Sunset who have just completed their first EP "joy".
Mark was the national runner-up in the 2008 Australian Poetry Slam. He is an
emcee that never learned how to master the ceremony but nevertheless is
happy to be a part of it. Mark used to freestyle battle a lot but stopped
because it's not fun hurting people's feelings for profit. He is currently
gigging with Dome Sunset around Perth and hoping to tour soon.
*8 AUG: Belowsky**
*On Saturday 8 August Perth Poetry Club presents the startling stylings of
that loud English poet, BELOWSKY. ('Junk Food Junkie', 'Guru'... you haven't
heard him? Well, now's your chance, in the friendly surroundings of the Red
Bar at the Court.) Belowsky now calls Perth home. He was the winner of the
Missing Link Festival slam and has made much noise at local slams,
Cottonmouth, latterday Walking on Water, and sometimes our own open stage.
From the written word to his unparalleled live performances, Belowsky's
prolific lyrical rants capture the excitement and chaos of modern
consumerist culture. Neither a serious outlook nor a playful wit can stand
alone, but Belowsky has both.
15 AUG: TBA
22 AUG: Gabrielle Everall + Caroline Sambridge + Fiona Stuart (Melb)
29 AUG: WA Spring Poetry Festival MEGA-GIG with Amber Fresh, Peter Bibby +
