Murderfist Sketch Comedy

For the past four years, Murderfist has been located in Tallahassee, Florida, where weekly shows became a standard event for many Tallahassians. From sketches for the tried and true vaudevillian, to the grotesque, and to the depths of absurdity, we aim to challenge our audiences with laughter, and instigate thought through destroying the norms of acceptable, safe, and run-down comedy.

Inflowential (pictured)
Mindspray
Kooley High

From Raleigh,NC comes Inflowential.  A Hip Hop Band with outstanding presence and originality.  With a mixture of Beat-boxing, bass grooves, and catchy lyrics this performance will surely be one to remeber.

Press quote: "Their delivery edged toward a full-band sound, and their focus was on live instrumentation with no percussion other than the beatboxing, a skill that requires an enormous amount of stamina. All of the lyrics (written by Charlie Smarts and Tab-One) had a positive slant that, surprisingly enough, a lot of the crowd had already memorized." - Jaclyn Piermarini, Star News- Wilmington

"Similar to The Roots, Inflow incorporates live instruments into its music through bassist Michael Bender -- an element that is missing in the overly produced hip-hop flooding the market." - Jake Seaton, The Technician- Raleigh

ABOUT THE BURNING CHAIR READINGS:

Mingling established with emerging poets, the New School with St. Mark’s, and Flarf with formalism, The Burning Chair has positioned itself as a dominant force in the New York City readings scene. 

Burning Chair curator Matthew Henriksen is co-editor of Typo <www.typomag.com> an online journal of poetry often coupled with Octopus <www.octopusmagazine.com> another first-rate publication changing the landscape of poetry magazines. Both are featured in a recent Publisher's Weekly article on poetry and the Internet.  

TYPO has been at the forefront of the web-based poetry scene for three years now, regularly publishing the work of established poets while seeking out the work of younger poets whose efforts might not have otherwise found publication.  Along with OCTOPUS, JACKET, HOW2, SLOPE, and a few others, TYPO is an essential part of the American poetry scene today."  

—G.C. Waldrep, author of Goldbeater's Skin
(Colorado Poetry Press Poetry Prize) 


Aside from Friday night readings at the Fall Cafe on Smith Street in Carroll Gardens, the Burning Chair also hosts occasional book launch readings at the Pierogi Gallery in Williamsburg where the will once again host Slope Editions in April.

The Never/Lost in the Trees

-The Never perform their storybook record,
Antarctica, complete with songs, projected art, and a narrator. Based on children's storybook
records, the project is a brilliant synthesis of indie-pop music and multimedia performance. Former bandmate Ari Picker opens with his Lost in
the Trees project, a modern mini-orchestra of orchestral dark-folk.

| "There's something instantly endearing
about a band that intentionally bucks trends. The inherent bravery required to step apart from the pack can be irresistible, especially when the music by the band in question is top-shelf quality."
-Billboard

Fellow Trekky Records label mates and friends Butterflies kick the night
off with singer/guitarist Josh Kimbrough's signature fluttering guitar
lines and dead-on folk-pop melodies .

Rocha Dance Theater

THE PAINTED LADIES
Choreographed and Directed by Jenny Rocha

Choreographer Jenny Rocha presents "The Painted Ladies", A Fusion of Dance, Percussion, Vaudeville & Burlesque. Rocha's collection of witty, dynamic performances creates a vibrant celebration of the uninhibited female. This saloon-sexy performance takes comedy to a brilliant climactic level, with feet stomping, pelvis' thrusting, and winking ladies. The sextet includes Shevaun Smythe Hiler, Jillian Hollis, Christine Poland, Jenny Rocha, Jessy Smith, and Rieko Yamanaka with Chris Henry as the emcee.


What The Critics Are Saying...

"a hilarious trio for manic tootsies" Jennifer Dunning, New York Times 2005

"Rocha's full-out, confident, passionate style in performance as well as choreography makes her an artist to watch in 2007"
Eva Yaa Asantewaa,http://mysite.verizon.net/magickaleva/

"this show puts the art back into tart" Kari Milchman, NYPress

"Part feminist satire, part neo-feminist celebration, The Painted Ladies depicted feisty, sometimes comic, show girls down through history"

POST-IT NOTE READING SERIES

http://www.postitnotestories.com/

Have you ever looked at a post-it note and thought, "Why don't you make yourself useful already and get a job? I mean another job...
a real job... a job in the arts!"

If not, don't feel bad. Illustrator Arthur Jones
has already beat you to it anyway. Since 2001 he has been transforming the humble post-it note into heroic narrative canvas. He first got the idea back when he was working at a marketing company in Chicago, laying out advertisements for various hotel chains. It was exactly how you might imagine a job of this sort might be, boring, monotonous, we've all been there. In between pounding his forehead against his particle board desk, Jones spent a lot of time sitting in his cubicle, pondering office supplies, and their untapped artistic potential. He created a huge rubber ball by adding one rubber band to it for every day that he worked. He crafted a little mouse out of masking tape. And every day for month, he drew tiny works of art onto post-it notes using a Sharpie.

Eventually he gathered it all up and turned it into an art show called "Day Job." The centerpiece was a portrait of Lee Iaccoca composed of 5000 bright blue push pins stolen from his office, stuck into the gallery wall.

Five years later, Jones has transformed his favorite time-kill activity into a full-fledged obsession. He has created the Post-It Note Reading series, where writers read their original stories, while corresponding illustrations drawn entirely on Post-It Notes are
projected behind them.

“The Post-It Note Self Help Seminar”is the third installment of the reading series and features a variety of stories about personal growth, impowerment and generally kicking ass. The show features:

Radio personality and writer Starlee Kine (www.thislife.org)
Writer Ted Thompson (www.826nyc.org)
Reporter and writer Brett Martin (www.brettmartin.org)
Artist, sculpturor and boat-builder Marie Lorenz (www.marielorenz.com)
Illustrator Arthur Jones(www.byarthurjones.com)
