Info/Notes:

Perpetual Motion Roadshow #35 is on very shortly featuring featureing expat femme wordsmith HADASSAH HILL from New York City, sorry-ass folk singer CORT BULLOCH from Calgary, and secret rap legend JESSE DANGEROUSLY from Halifax!

Hadassah M. Hill (aka. Axon Panter) is a New York/Toronto-based performance artist and writer. Her work has appeared in Geeks, Misfits and Outlaws (2004) and Without A Net (2003). She toured Ontario and Quebec in 2004/05 with the performance troupe Trash and Ready and has performed at Ladyfest, Cheap Queers, Hysteria, and Mayworks. Her recordings include Bombshell Lexicon (2005) and Bad Girls Belief System (2005). In August, she's heading to Femme 2006 in San Francisco. Hadassah's also a textile artist who works in reconstructing/recycling vintage clothing and embroidery, and is Associate Art Director with $pread Magazine. She loves anything on two wheels, and rhinestones

Cort Bulloch is a roots songwriter raised in southern Alberta. From being a jug hound in the oil patch to selling beads in Peru, Cort has roamed from Tuktoyuktuk to Buenos Aires in search of what he found to be his passion at the ripe age of 23: songwriting! The balance between melody, poetry and up-tempo pieces has him compared to such artists as Arlo Guthrie and Tracy Chapman. His nomadic, tossed salad past, along with his charming stage presence makes for a combination in which you will rarely find in folk songwriters

Jesse Dangerously is both a fan and a star in Halifax’s hip-hop scene and keeps the city in raps Friday nights as host of CKDU’s The Pavement. He was voted Best MC in this year's Best of Music poll in Coast magazine. A prolific performer/producer, he has four solo releases and many collaborative credits. He's brainy and bratty. Fast-talking and sing-songing. Self-aggrandizing and self-deprecating. He has performed at Toronto’s Wavelength and Montreal's Under Pressure Graffiti Festival. By the time you read this, he'll have played the North By Northeast festival in Toronto. And probably have been smooched a lot

Venue Info/Notes:

Great little bar on Monroe. There are two rooms: the first is the bar with seating, a pool table, a video golf game, and a MegaTouch machine as well as some artistic touches like the pair of giant bugs that constantly circle over the bar. The other room is for DJ's and bands — they have a small dance floor and a modest sized stage (and don't forget to check out the living room inverted on the ceiling ... or are you the bug on the ceiling?)

They have DJ's on Sunday, Monday (usually), Wednesday, some Thursdays (after the bands) and on Friday, and live music on Monday (rarely), Tuesday (usually), Thursday, and Saturday. Most of the bands that play do original music. Styles are most often punk-rock, rock, or heavy-metal with synth-pop, acoustic, ambient, alternative-rock, experimental, and other styles appearing less often. Cover charge for bands is usually $6 for over-21 and $8 for under (there's occasionally a cheaper show, frequently no additional charge for under-21's, and some shows with popular bands will cost more.) Bands usually start playing around 10:30, give or take a half hour, except on Thursdays when they sometimes have an early show that starts around 9.

Monday is 1980's night where they play a mix of 1980's music (both popular and club tracks.) DJ's are $5 over / $7 under.
