NEW YORK'S FANG RECORDS
My current label with brilliant folks like CHRIS RAEL and PENNY ARCADE.

NAMOLI BRENNET
I played with Namoli (pronounced like "Anomaly" if you drop the "A") at the Fifth Annual Queer Is Folk Festival in Chicago this year. She was spellbinding. I can't stop listening to her song "Boy In A Dress;" it haunts the hell out of me, and that's saying something coming from a man who didn't grow up with any gender issues to speak of. Who says a song has to tell your story to move you?

DAVID CLEMENT
Remarkable talent & old buddy whose music you'll love if you like me.

REBECCA MOORE
Brilliant gothic avant-garde music with an emotional wallop. I love her and you should.

GILLIAN WELCH & DAVE RAWLINGS
Of course.

BRIAN GRILLO
He fronted EXTRA FANCY until the majors destroyed his life. Now he's recovered and gone solo with an acoustic homocore-blues record ... that's so good I'm sure everyone will ignore it. Don't you.

LISA GERMANO
If you don't know her, check her out NOW.

BARNES
Brechtian Torch-Rock with a Bit o' Bowie ... but that doesn't begin to encapsulate it ...

JOSEPH ARTHUR
I wrote about him in DETOUR, but they never paid me - I think they're in bankruptcy protection now. But at least I got to spend an hour or so hanging with him. He had a run on Peter Gabriel's label for a while - but I still think he's dancing with the majors. Follow him when they drop him.

ROSE POLENZANI
A real home-recording queen. I love her stuff. The lesbian content really sings poetically here - I'm not just being 'supportive,' I really mean it. Haunting and scary. Go listen now - do not pass go, do not collect $200 first.

SCOTT FREE
This is the purest queercore out there. The best of Chicago, and kinda hot too ... listen and learn.

DORIA ROBERTS
Brechtian Torch-Rock with a Bit o' Bowie ... but that doesn't begin to encapsulate it ...

MARLON CHERRY & MECCA BODEGA
Fellow Fang Records artist. You can hear them on the streets and subways of New York where they make their living. Jonathan Demme heard them that way and made them the soundtrack to his cable film SUBWAY STORIES. Marlon and I have played together frequently and we'll team up for my next New York shows, so why not check him out now?
