slightly graphic video for the first song on my new album “Biological Deadline”. With all of the #occupy happening I figured it might be a good time to post this.

GreeneLeaf Jazz and The Spoken Word
TK Wonder, Danny Blume and Elijah B. Torn
Thursday, July 7, 2011
6pm- 8pm
Meet at the Grove

Join us this Thursday as poet/rapper TK Wonder performs with Danny Blume and Elijah B. Torn. Initially a poet, she has transitioned to rapping, propelled by her combination of “stage presence and sharply-honed writing skills,” which “merge to create a unique style of telling stories and addressing social issues with intricately-intertwined and multiple-syllable rhymes” (ReverbNation). TK Wonder’s electro punch, “slamming lyrics,” and unique hip-hop/spoken word fashion have resonated with audiences internationally, including at international electronic festivals such as VIP, Exit Fest, Belgrade Beer Fest, and Tuborg Greenfest in Europe with audiences ranging from 50,000 to 125,000 people. TK Wonder has played along side artists such as N.E.R.D., The Prodigy, and the Sex Pistols, and has opened for Nas.

Grammy-winner Danny Blume is a music producer, mixer, engineer, composer, and musician who cuts a lot of firewood. Chris Castagno and he built GoodandEvil, a recording studio/ production company after more than a decade in New York, and he has performed in bands of all genres and persuasions. In 2007, he received a Grammy for Best Contemporary World Music Album for the album “Wonder Wheel: Lyrics by Woody Guthrie” with The Klezmatics. He has performed on Conan O’ Brien and Saturday Night Live, and toured in the US and Europe with his electronic group Liminal.

subVariant’s new compilation Robohustlin is coming out Friday September 24th!

from the subVariant site-

Robohustlin, is a curated collection of melodic IDM, ambient and glitch tracks from Chicago and beyond. Chaircrusher’s “Crow Beat” and Milipede’s “30,000″ take a somewhat dark, harder approach, while tracks like Diarmo’s “Details” and Matt Wolfe’s “4:09am” hover somewhere between hopefulness and melancholy, held together with intricate rhythmic programming. All thirteen tracks were chosen from an open call for songs in July-August of 2010, and represent the highest quality and most discernable sonic dedication that fit with the general theme that organically emerged over the course of weeding through all the submissions.
In keeping with subVariant’s tongue-in-cheek, music-as-consumer-product design aesthetic (see Subvaritrax, Exception AM), Robohustlin’s digital cover lists the individual artists as separate “cures” in a packaging style based on the popular cough & cold medication, Robitussin.

Robohustlin with be premiered in a live DJ set by Liz Revision on Ustream on at ustream.tv/channel/live-at-subvhq (embedded below).

The compilation can be downloaded from www.subvariant.com

Apparently LOU REED and Hal Wilner played my tune “Dangerous” from my last album on their SiriusXM radio show “NY Shuffle” back in May! Yeah! What an amazing playlist and I’m happy to be included…just knowing that they had heard of me was awesome!

important and sad news- I also have a track on a fundraiser compilation for musician/artist/Japan founder Mick Karn. As I previously mentioned, Mick has advanced stage cancer and the council has put together an amazing compilation to help Mick’s family. It is available to purchase on iTunes, Amazon and all the major digital sites. Click here to read more. I can’t speak highly enough of Mick and he is without a doubt my inspiration for picking up a bass to begin with.
