Perpetual Motion Roadshow #35 is on very shortly featuring 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!

The Perpetual Motion Roadshow is an indie press touring circuit, an unholy combination of a vaudevillian variety show and a punk rock tour. Each month, three new lively indie performers pile in a car and do seven cities in eight days, doing shows with the bold guarantee: NO BORING READINGS OR YOUR MONEY BACK! Transnational, it loops the northeast May-October and makes runs down the west coast during November-April. Founded by No Media Kings, we've been making our own fun since 2003—running on pure volunteer power and dirty dirty gasoline. All shows are pay-what-you-can.

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. Check her site out here. 

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. Check his site out here. 

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. Check his site out here.
