Check out PMR's new site design—for more info on this very necessary project, click here. Perpetual Motion Roadshow #33, May 19-26 features Emerson Dameron, Tanis Rideout and Snoovy.

Emerson Dameron serves as editor and sole contributor for the zine Wherewithal. He also contributes to the2ndhand, Zine World: A Reader's Guide to the Underground Press, Dusted Magazine, The Machine and other magazines and websites. On Wednesday nights, he hosts a show on WLUW-FM. With the rest of the Diatribe Media family, he organizes small-press events in Chicago. With Nell Taylor, he co-founded the Chicago Underground Library, which you should ask him about. He fancies himself a comedian, though accounts vary. He is an ordained minister and performs weddings at reasonable rates. He maintains a skeletal online presence here.

Tanis Rideout's first appearance was in a foreign story line (Unclear Origins, issue #8), which took her through Tai Chi Ch'uan poetry training around the globe. Never a master of secret identity, she took refuge from the world to master control of language and rhythm (see The Lost Years, issue #4). During that time she learned to wield words with ninja-like precision. She emerged from seclusion to join the Justice League of Poets (Northern Stories, issues #63-on). Current plotlines leave our hero seeking to balance her search for poetic justice with daily existence (The Continuing Adventures of Po' It Girl). Online here.

What do hippie parents and too many Zeppelin albums make? Snoovy—Toronto's veteran grrl rocker gives you the flower child experience in a blend of her own jumpy rock hits and moody ballads. Her sweet and sultry vocals and heavy-handed acoustic rhythm guitar will make you go groovy all over, baby. She's the Montreal Fringe Fest's battle-of-the-bands winner, the Toronto pride stage chick rocker, University of Manitoba's flute choir diva, and California's speed metal folkie. A true tour baby at heart, Snoovy joins the Roadshow to spread more peace, love, and rock and roll. Check out www.snoovy.com.
