:: propagandART ~ july 6, 2004 ::

i have a couple of announcements.

#1...i'm singing with the nine live cats again.
we've been rehearsing recently and been having a blast.
so we're going to bring the best rock'n'roll horn show
to duggan's on july 30th. get it on your calendar and
spread the word!

#2...i'm playing the title role in hedwig and the angry inch.
it's kind of like a 'behind the music' rock'n'roll gig. hedwig has
quite a story to tell, and she tells it in a concert setting. this is
going to be my absolute greatest performing challenge to date
...by a lot!

i'd LOVE to have some friendly faces in the audience.
the gig will be the first weekend of august at duffy's.
tickets go on sale july 12th through duffy's...and they'll go really fast!

in the meantime, here are some great events to keep you busy.
